If you have been following my blog you might recognize Rachel and David. They just had baby Laila. While I was there taking her newborn shots Rachel mentioned they were going to get married soon however, I didn’t expect a call a few weeks later. I was super glad she called me though. Of course I was excited to make the trip down to Fayetteville. They decided to just have a small courthouse wedding. Although, apparently in Fayetteville you actually get married in the Detention Center. I think that even if you choose the courthouse route you still deserve good photos. It IS your big day afterall. Don’t be afraid to call a photographer up!-3058-3075-3077-3089-3097-3135-3153-3175

Gotta have some of that new bling!-3190-3191Like I said earlier, Thank you so much for thinking of me and allowing me to join you on your big day! I wish you two the best. I cant wait until your next big family function ;)-3166

Laila Rose | Welcome to the World!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

About a month ago I put out a casting call for local soon to be mommies. Rachel was suggested to me and she was due super soon. I pitched her my idea and she wanted to do it. Which made me ecstatic. Super excited and nervous since I have never been in the same room as a person having a baby.

Rachel text me at 9:45 Sunday night the 29th saying her water broke. I immediately grabbed some snacks, water and gathered up my things to head to the hospital in Fayetteville, NC. As I got there she was having contractions and they were close to putting in an epidural. Soon after the epidural Rachel was feeling .. well she wasn’t feeling much which is great. Her labor progressed quite quicker than I had anticipated which isnt a bad thing at all.
