Welcome to the world, Marshall!

Remember this photo? Well, a few months have elapsed since it was taken, and Monday was the big day!

The belly got a little bit bigger...

...and this little family was about to get a little bit bigger, too.

The birth was beautiful and I'm so glad that I got to be a part of it. Baby Marshall is adorable and was the most alert newborn I've ever encountered. He was so content to look into his mom and dad's faces and would even move his head to track the camera. Even though we got some sad faces out of him, he only really cried during his bath, which he did NOT enjoy. He was so upset about the water that he grabbed the faucet, making the water spray into his face. I loved every moment of this day.

I LOVED all of these, Care! Each one is awesome. I love the one of Marinda caressing his cheek with her finger - that is SO something that she has always done! Well done!
(P.S. Come do mine if/when I have another!)

Oh, and great idea to do hospital shots. Do lots of photographers do this?

MA, I've only seen one other photographer do it, but I fell in love with it! Thanks for the compliments and I will TOTALLY do yours! It's so cool to witness the process firsthand and then go home and sleep all night! :)
