Our amazingly talented friend Emily Smith of Emily Smith Photography (check her out!)

took these amazing birth photos for us! 

I was somewhat hesitant to have a photographer at the actual birth, but Emily was amazing and these pictures are priceless- I hope to have these taken for all my future kids!

 She was able to get all the little details...

things I would have never thought about but will 

always instantly bring back memories of the day.

 

 I am convinced that this is the most beautiful hospital to give birth in- look at that view!

 I was lucky enough to get two nurses (one was in training) they were fabulous!

 I love this picture, I shows how calm and non eventful the whole labor was.

We all just sat around and talked all day- it was quite enjoyable and relaxing really. 

 Ironic picture for the day!

 My amazing doctor- I really didn't see her much- but she was amazing nonetheless.

 I was able to hold Emme right away!  

They didn't take her from me for almost two hours- I was in heaven.

 Kenton doesn't really care for the umbilical chord cutting- but he always ends up cutting it

Something about being in the moment- I am glad he ends up cutting it.

 the whole 9 pounds 3 ounces of her

 

 We are so blessed to have this amazingly little girl in our home.

She is six weeks this week- and I still can't stop kissing her cheeks 

and cuddling her every second I get.

Thank you Emily, for capturing these special moments for us!
