I have known the mommy, Alisha since she was a toddler. I have photographed her and her family for numerous events throughout the years. The above images are from their pregnancy portrait sitting just a few months ago. I was so excited to be asked to be there for the birth.
It was the most profound experience. Not to mention such an honor and privilege
The calm brave strength of Mommy pushing, Eric (the Daddy) just being there for her and helping in any way he could, the tears of joy on Eric's face when he held his daughter for the first time. And Alisha, never taking her eyes off her newborn girl while they weighed, measured and cleaned her up.
