Lucy White was born July 29th, 2009 at 1:30PM in Northside Hospital.
What a sweetheart!
I was very excited to be part of this special day for Brian and Beth largely because I've had a relationship with them for the past 2 years after photographing the birth of their first child, Garrett. It was an honor photograph the first breathes of Lucy... Brian called me up, just after Noon and had me head on down. I was amazed to find a smiling, giggling, happy Beth when I arrived at hospital. The Dr. came in about 20 minutes after I arrived and told her he was going to get her ready to push. ONE push, 20 seconds later, Lucy pops out! Even the Dr. couldn't believe how quick this delivery was. Later, I told Beth that I would not tell any of the other mothers on the floor how easy she had. :)
I love this moment above between Mom and Lucy. Lucy couldn't keep her eyes off her! Mom looked fantastic for just being in labor... she made it look so easy!
What is always so special about capturing a birth on camera for me is witnessing pure love and joy- all the emotions and special moments are so real. Every picture has power- from Lucy's first breath, to her first bath, her introduction to the family and their when son Garrett was brought into the room to meet his new baby sister. Photographing a birth is photojournalism at it's best and capturing all the moments as they happen. 
Beautiful White Family! (& Mickey)
