intro-post

Real Photography closed in December 2014 and is no longer accepting clients.

Thank you for your support over the years! Please follow me at my new personal blog: www.needlesandapen.com to keep up with my latest photography, craft, and nursing school adventures.

I shared a sneak peek the other day, but here’s a glimpse at the rest of Lizzie’s newborn photo shoot:

I’ve never in my life met such a smiley newborn!  She is just precious and the best baby portrait model, even when she’s starting to get grumpy…

Lizzie was due on Christmas Day, but she very graciously made her entrance on December 10th (a convenient Saturday, no less)!

Bernadette’s water had broken the night before, but labor hadn’t started on its own.  Some pitocin took care of that and within a few hours she was ready for an epidural.  After the epidural she went from 3.5cm to 9.5cm in under an hour!   We’d all thought we had a long day ahead of us and instead we had a baby before lunch and the hat I was knitting Lizzie was far from finished!

Bernadette’s mom was there as an additional supporter,  I just loved the emotion on her face during the delivery and you know I’m a sucker for a crying dad!

Lizzie arrived at 10:51am and there was not a dry eye in the room.  Well, except for the doctor, but he had to see what he was doing.  :P

I am so jealous of the warm welcome Bernadette and Clint were able to give their sweet daughter.  She is so lucky to have had all these people waiting in the hospital to meet her!

The next day I was back to visit again.  I got to babysit Lizzie while her parents ran down to the hospital cafeteria.  We had a practice photoshoot and that sweet goddaughter of mine SMILED for me.  One day old and smiling for pictures.  She totally knew who was visiting.  :)  I even got to feed her a bottle of expressed milk.  Heaven!

Lizzie’s slideshow is here.  Get ready–you’ll be seeing a lot of this little cutie this year!

Blog Feed

Dec 21, 2011

It looks like there have been a couple of hiccups with the website switch.  One of which is the blog feed–if you’d like to see us in your google reader or other blog reader, the website address to use is:

http://www.needlesandapen.com/photography/feed/rss/

Another issue is that right now the images aren’t right-clickable or Pin-able (as in Pinterest).  I’m hoping to get that part sorted out shortly!

And the final transition issue is that some of our posts from 2009 are now broken…I should have those fixed in the next month or so.

Who is that cute baby up there?  My goddaughter, Elizabeth Louise.  Many many more photos of that little Christmas baby to come!
