Our sweet baby girl has finally arrived!  Before delivering I decided that I really wanted to have a birth photographer present for this birth.  I actually never thought this would be something I would want as I am a pretty modest person but since photography is such a huge part of my life and I really just value everything a picture has…I knew that I wanted those memories and not just in my head but also in some kind of print form so that I could always go back and look…and never forget.  And maybe one day, share them with Haley and Lilly.

I am SO beyond happy that I decided to have a birth photographer present.  These pictures mean the absolute world to me and I am SO SO happy to have them.  Tami Lacome, whose work you can see at www.tamilacome.com, did an amazing job and I am so glad that she was there to document this amazing day for us.  I e-met Tami through a photography forum that we both frequent and that is how we came together and I am forever grateful for that forum as this connection has given me a precious gift…a gift of memories that will never be forgotten! If you aren’t already a Facebook Fan of hers, you should be…go on and “like” her page! https://www.facebook.com/TamiLaComePhotography.

So now that I have gushed about how much I am in love with my birth photography experience, I want to share those pictures with you.  I went ahead and created a quick video with the images and posted some of the still images for those of you who like to look at an image a little longer than a couple seconds!

All photos were taken by Tami Lacome Photography and all of the photos and video production were edited by myself of Heather Avrech Photography.

Newborn photos of Haley will be coming up on the blog shortly!  A couple of sneak peaks have been posted on my Facebook fan page already.  If you aren’t already a fan of Heather Avrech Photography, come on over and “like” me to see some of the sneak peeks!

First, the video!

And some of the images!
