the birth of Godric Nathaneal.

This is my first birthing experience on the other side of the camera. I can honestly say it was nothing short of absolutely amazing! This is too awesome to hold you up with small talk so here it is......
The full birth story::

Thank you, thank you, thank you [again] to Nate's mommy and daddy for inviting me to be a part of this incredible day. Your family is simply beautiful! Also thank you for allowing me to share the magic of the birth and power of birth photography with others.

It's the most important day of your baby's life.......

their BIRTH day!

Birth Photography. It's something I've been putting some major thought into lately, and I've decided I definitely want to give it a try. There are very few events in life as special as the birth of a new baby. As a mother of 2 [pretty sweet] little stinkers, I know how intense, busy, and emotional the birthing process can be. You are so wrapped up in the labor and emotions, there are so many important and precious memories that can easily be missed or forgotten. The job of your birth photographer is to document the entire birth story---as quietly and unobtrusively as possible. Taking special care to capture the once in a lifetime moments----::The connection between Mommy and Daddy during labor. ::What your baby looked like the second they entered this world. ::What was your reaction? ::Daddy's?  ::What was going on in the room? ::Who was there to welcome your baby? All of these things can get lost in the fog of labor. The memories from that day will be some of the most precious you'll ever have.
I would be honored to create a photo documentary of the birth of your child. Capturing each and every moment, every detail you want to remember forever. 
I will be giving away TWO birthing sessions! These sessions will include full documentary of your child's birth day, a DVD slideshow of the birth story, and a set of 30 low-resolution, watermarked digital images for you to use on your Facebook, personal blog, or emailing to friends and family. If you or anyone you know would be interested in one of these sessions, please email me:: noelbmartinphotography@gmail.com

Now, it's not really a secret that newborn sessions are one of my absolute favorite kinds of sessions. I won't even attempt to deny it :). Especially those super new babes--still soooo pink and squishy. They still have those precious wrinkles and fuzzy hair, that they so quickly grow out of. Man, what's not to love?! Shortly after the birthing session, a newborn session should definitely be on the books :). I'll leave y'all with one of my latest favorite newborn shots---Isn't she absolutely gorgeous?! :)

 HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! :)
