In case you didn’t see the slideshow, go check out the post below this one, you don’t want to miss it. Although it is a multimedia piece using still images in video format, I still tend to LOVE traditional blogging (and that way you can study individual photographs at your own pace, instead of hitting the pause button)! So, more details on the experience in the post below, but, this was shot on film with 2 lenses (for all that care). Love the look that film gives me for this type of approach, but at the same time there are things that I miss about digital. Verdict is still out, what do you guys think?

never has there been a more blessed monday. leon bernard was welcomed to this world at 7:38 am. he was named after josh's grandfather and my mother's maiden name.
here is the birthing story: we spent the weekend relaxing for the most part and managed to squeeze in a date night, block party, brunch and dinner with friends. i was excited most of all to get to spend our friday night at my favorite restaurant where we discussed the arrival of little leon. i felt that labor would come soon as i was having contractions already.
come sunday night i could really feel that they were consistent and moving along, but managed to sleep through them. around 3:45 am i noticed that things were moving along so i was quick to wake josh up and head over to the hospital. we arrived at the hospital at 5:00 am and i was glad to know I was 5 cm along. i labored for a good hour before my dr came in to see the progress and she was happy to announce that i was complete and ready to have this baby! at this moment i recall that i needed DRUGS, although it was my original plan to have a natural birth. of course that was not an option at this point and leon was born at 7:38 am. one fun fact that i have to throw in this story is that the baby nurse for leon was also mine when i was born (30 years ago). i only know that fact because we have a picture of her bathing me.
a special thanks to my best friend katie for grabbing my camera to document this moment. thanks to my dr, damla dryden for your care throughout my pregnancy and delivery. next, i could not have done it without the support of our doula, amanda moore. she was so great in helping me relax through all of that pain. last but not least, my josh...he has been such a supportive husband during the entire nine months, making sure all of my cravings were met and putting up with my emotional self.
i am overjoyed with a son and a second child, as i have
learned with stella that time flies by too quickly. i can now see how parents have third and fourth children; i am not saying that i am
going to have more (SMILE). stella is enjoying time with her baby brother and she makes the best big sister.
on a business note, i am on maternity leave from may 1 to july 1. this leave does not include the shoots we have scheduled. we will be accepting bookings for 2011 weddings at this time and you can contact us through our contact form on our website or email roxanne. thanks for allowing me to enjoy time with my new family of four.
