Eamon

Eamon, starting his second week out of mom’s belly, an angel through out the session. A pleasure to hold and snuggle with. I’ve also so enjoyed meeting his mom, Elizabeth, a doula. I wish I had her around when I delivered my babies, she is so relaxed, soothing (no wonder her little boy was so easy going), and knows her business like no other. She had her three boys at home, this last one in just 2 hours! The home delivery sounds like the ultimate birthing experience, especially if handled by a doula. Delivering a baby is life. A women hears about tales of extraordinary birth since early childhood, but when the very special day comes, we are not ready to handle it, to deal with the pain, to manage the family/friends in the waiting room, so much is happening. The nurses and Dr. are somewhat available, but mostly they handle the medical issues, not so much the long labor, a doula is there for you every step of the way, their goal is to make the day and delivery as smooth and comfortable as possible for you and the baby. Really it should be a must for everyone, the anticipation of the delivery builds up for nine months, shouldn’t it be a memorable experience, don’t we all need a professional to take care of us during that day?
The first picture makes me very happy, I’ve been rehearsing in my mind how to make it happen for a while now, and it came out so nicely.
Elizabeth, thank you so much for a delightful session.

    Arielle, You have taken this precious little bundle and made him even more precious -- and I really didn't see how that could have been possible! He's my newest grandbaby (by 3-1/2 months) and we will all cherish these pictures forever. Thank you!!! (And, yes, Elizabeth is amazing!)
