Milestone + Cake Smash

Scottsdale Newborn Photographer | Emmett

oh my gosh – this little boy gets me every time. Emmett first came in for his newborn session, then came back for his six month session – how stinkin’ adorable is he?! Can we take a minute to admire that dimple in his chin?! I’m a sucker for a chin dimple, both of my boys have them and I just can’t deal. Like at all. But, Emmett is literally the most laid back little guy – he is always so chill; I’ll re-evaluate after his cake smash though; most babies tend to lose their mind once they hit one and you want them to cooperate in front of a total stranger, lol. In the meantime, I’ll soak up all the lovin’s from Emmett while I can. Literally the hardest part of this job is watching these sweet babies grow – like it’s almost as hard as watching my own kids grow.

this birth story is one for the books; "My due da this birth story is one for the books;

"My due date was January 16, and while I knew it was unlikely baby would show up on this arbitrary “due date”, I still felt discouraged to wake up still pregnant. We went through our day visiting Holly’s growing farm, and I felt off and strange all day. I took a small nap at her house, and when driving home, kept complaining that I felt uncomfortable and was having lower back pain. I took a nap when we got home for about 4 hours to try and find some relief.
I woke up around 9 pm and decided to try a shorter version of the Miles Circuit to try and engage baby. Nick and I enjoyed some time together and by around 11:45, I started questioning some of the feelings in my lower abdomen. The sensations were developing a pattern at about 7-15 minutes apart, but were very mild and felt no different than a typical period cramp. I let Nick know around midnight that I was possibly feeling contractions and advised him to get off the Xbox and head to bed soon (which he, of course, didn’t do.) I texted my midwife to give her a heads up and even though I was filled with anticipation on whether this was the start of my birth, she advised me to get some rest. Just before 4 am, I could no longer sleep through the waves. They were about 4 minutes apart and were still manageable, but within the next hour and a half, had grown to about 2 minutes apart and were lasting about 45-60 seconds. Around 5:30, I called my mom to ask if she could come over and lay down with Harper because I was feeling like I needed Nick’s support soon. At around 6, my mom showed up, and I soon woke up Nick to say that I thought today was the day. I felt like I wanted some fresh air, so I put on a jacket and asked him to go for a walk with me. He was a little panicked at my request and was insisting that we call the midwife and blow up the birth tub, but I was still convinced that this was early labor. When he decided to time the contractions, he told me that they were much closer together than the last time I contacted my midwife, so he called her to give her the update. Our midwife, Brea, agreed that it sounded like a significant change and started to.. (go to comments)

something you'll barely ever see on my feed is lif something you'll barely ever see on my feed is lifestyle stuff; I never ever shoot it, just because it's not my style. but this momma was a birth client of mine a couple years ago, and I was supposed to be there for this sweet girls birth too. but ya know, covid. so we did a lifestyle fresh 48 when they got home from the hospital, and they're just the cutest little family. I'm so happy I could document those first few moments as a family of five <3
