When I was asked to photograph the second birth for my coworker I found myself filled with mixed emotions.  This would be my first time for a shoot like this.   I was obviously excited (I love babies!), nervous (what if I missed the call in the middle of the night?) and so honored to document this time in their lives for them.  The stars aligned and I was able to make it to the hospital about three hours before she gave birth.  I am lucky to have been given this opportunity, not only for the experience of shooting in a dimly lit hospital room (ha!) but also for getting to witness and document the miracle of life.  Thank you Alison and Kevin, I’m forever grateful.  Welcome baby Maximilian!
