At Last

Our good friends Cara and Anthony waited a long time, and walked a long road in order to meet their son. When that day finally came, I think their whole world was bursting with happiness around them.

As my friend Stephanie would say, this photo makes my uterus ache. Do you not just want to eat this chin?

If you want to see the whole day, get a tissue and click below.

Congratulations Cara and Anthony! I really want to kidnap your child. But I'm also really happy for you too.

PERFECT! The pictures remind me of Ashlyn's birth.... which now seems forever ago! More people should photograph their children's birth. They don't know what they are missing! Good job Maile, as always!

Thanks Katy! I agree, I think photographing births is as important as weddings. I never did it for myself, and totally regret it.
