The Birth of T.A.J

I can't wait to share this with you all. I have been working on these photos, as well as this slide show all weekend. In fact, a certain hubby is probably about ready to kill me. I've been yelling at my computer and huffing and puffing. I have very little tolerance for "techy" things that I don't already know how to do. Ugh. But, i toughed it out, for this beautiful event captured on camera. It was my first time shooting a birth. It's so crazy being on a different side of a birth. Usually i don't know the momma personally, and usually i'm the one suiting up to deliver the baby. So this was different. exciting. maybe even stressful, but for totally different reasons. I'm really glad i just happen to be down in madisonville during the month when this baby was supposed to be due. Granted i did have to drive a few hours on country, lonely, dark, deserted roads to get to the hospital, and i did sleep on the floor of the hospital room...freezing...and didn't take a shower for 2 days, I wouldn't have missed this for anything. I'm blessed to have such an amazing friend in this new mama.  This family is so awesome too, I wish all of you knew them. They were there for every single second, watching, waiting, praying, brewing with excitement for the arrival of little man. Oh! Did i mention that this little boy is soooo cute. I mean melt ya heart adorable, with the most precious mouth. You just wait, you'll agree :) enjoy...



*sorry its so small, and i wish i knew how to add music to it without breaking copyright laws and junk. i need a tech assistant lol-e

Erin-
So I totally just stopped what I was doing at work to go to your blog and see those sweet pictures of our precious angel. Girl, you made me cry...sitting at my desk!! Thanks so much for doing this for Ree Ree. She is so blessed to have such a wonderful friend like you! BTW, can't wait to see the most recent pics you've taken of Tucker, and I can't wait to see what lucky baby gets to be your first model for the Valentine's Day gear!

Erin,
I watched the whole slide show, even though I had seen most of the pictures this weekend. It was very pretty. He is so cute. Nice job. I know it was frustrating. Just think how much easier it will be next time...
Love, Mom
