Two days ago I was awoken before the sun came up to a day in which I would have the humble opportunity to witness the beautiful miracle of birth. A sweet miracle that began 9 months prior…a miracle we witnessed 2 years ago with the birth of our own.

She was excited with a twist of fear, after all this is something she had never done before. How long would it take? Would she be able to handle the pain? Would her new baby be okay? He stroked her hair, held her hand, prayed for her, and even made her laugh. Nausea set in and she knew it was time. The doctor entered and together they carefully watched the monitor to determine the time line. From that point on, only four peaks on the monitor that day and Isaac William made his entrance into the world. He was a beautiful little guy with full lips and a head full of hair and his mommy was no longer fearful. She did more than perfect and she knew everything would be okay. A proud father stood near, protector of both wife and now child. It was a perfectly beautiful day!
One of the last, if not the last shot of Rachel’s baby bump.
Adam and Rachel could not have been sweeter to each other anticipating the birth of their son. I am in love with their interactions with each other.
In the slideshow I shared with this new family of three last night was more on the birthing process. Rachel did absolutely perfect and really made labor and deliver look easy. She was amazing!
This is her right after her…still looking her beautiful self, but never taking an eye off of her brand new son.
The little guy getting the checked out from top to bottom.
A very proud daddy!
A sweet little squishy newborn face
A family of onlookers in aah of their newest family member
Only an hour old and already opening his eyes and taking in his new environment
Too sleepy too eat he is given his first bath in hopes he will wake up a bit
As newborns do, he was right back to sleep again as soon as the bath commenced. I am in LOVE with his hair….watch out David Beckham!
Irresistible tiny newborn features. . .

Hi! My name is Brittany. I am just a petite fun lovin' southern gal with a family who is pretty fabulous and the sweetest job in the world. Grab a Grande Skinny Mocha Frappacino and stay for a while.
Wow! Are you kidding, Brittany?! This is maybe one of the… neatest (what a terrible word to use, but I can’t think of anything else) shoots/documenting I’ve seen. It’s just so… life. Sensational. They must be over the MOON with these hei!
Thanks Brittany, we are so thankful for him and we are glad you were there to capture this important part of our life. If these pictures don’t bring a tear to your eye, I don’t know what will.
Beautiful pictures! I’m so happy when parents decide to have the birth documented. They will be so happy to have this for years and years to come! Congrats to Adam & Rachel!
Beautiful photos – what a wonderful story. And I actually made little Issac a onesie that Rachel ordered and shipped it out yesterday – can’t wait to see him in it :)
I love these Brittany! You’re right Rachel does look beautiful. These pics are so natural with the interaction b/t the three. I love them!!
Absolutely beautiful, Brittany. These really did bring me to tears! Such an amazing, sweet miracle you photographed. Love it.
This is just beautiful! You may be on to a little niche here…
What a gift! You captured everything flawlessly! These are so beautiful…the family will treasure these FOREVER! Absolutely special.
