Hazel, such a perfect name and such a beautiful baby! Her birth was not an easy one, but she has a super strong mom so all is well now. At 39 weeks pregnant, mom found out that she had preeclampsia, so they did an induction right then and there. When Hazel finally arrived, she was not breathing, which had to be the most terrifying moment of her parent’s lives. BUT, they got her breathing soon after and she is now in perfect health. Whew. I have no idea how scary that would be and I know it is one of those things that every pregnant mother worries about. But she is totally fine now and healthy and thriving! And just a gorgeous newborn. Usually, babies look a little wrinkled and smooshed right after being born, but Hazel has the most gorgeous little round face and is so peaceful! I love doing hospital newborn photography.  These sessions take about 20 minutes, since mom and baby are still just needing to rest and get to know each other on their own, and the package includes all the digital negatives. So sweet to be one of the first people to meet a baby on her very first day of life.

I photographed a birth last week, too, and will be posting those photos soon!
