Los Angeles Birth Phot...
Last month I photographed my very first triplet birth and fell in LOVE with this family. These happy, healthy and BEAUTIFUL babies were welcomed into the world at UCLA in Santa Monica by their mom, dad, grandma and big sister. I knew from spending lots of time with their big sister these babies were in great hands. I had a blast getting to know them and I have a TON of fantastic photos to share with them. Here are just a few of my favorite moments from their arrival, enjoy!
This birth was unforgettable to say the very least. I knew from the moment I met Rhisie and Laurent I was going to enjoy documenting their birth story. Rhisie had planned a home birth but we quickly realized baby Rocco had a different plan. He decided he was quite comfortable in his breech position and no matter what everyone tried, he wouldn't budge. Her home birth then became a hospital birth and then finally a scheduled c-section. Even though Rhisie's hospital doesn't allow photographers in the operating room she and Laurent decided that they still wanted to have me there to capture the birth story and I happily obliged. We had it all planned, Friday morning surgery... Rocco had different plans. Wednesday afternoon (after Rhisie had finished serving jury duty) Rocco decided he couldn't wait until Friday and was ready now. Here is the story of baby Rocco's first moments, thanks again to Rhisie and Laurent for having me and congratulations on your sweet baby boy.

I've been photographing this family for years (ever since their first, Max, was born) so I was thrilled to document Stella's birth at Cedars this week. Little Stella's entrance was a quick one, after only a few hours of labor and 1.5 pushes she was here... lucky momma! I told Cindy she couldn't push until 6:48 (sunrise) as a joke but like clockwork she started pushing at 6:48 and Stella was born at 6:50! I should make that request more often... Here are a few of my favorite photos from Stella's birth, I'll be posting more soon after her newborn session so stay tuned :) Thanks to Cindy & Jesse for letting me share these with you...
