First 48 // Alaska newborn and birth photography

Baby Lincoln has arrived! Perfect and precious and… late. Most moms can relate – the last few weeks of pregnancy are the worst. You are so excited to meet your little one – most of us are super uncomfortable by this point – the constant bathroom breaks, the heartburn, the swelling of feet, legs… and CANKLES! It’s not a pretty picture. And even though Lincoln’s mom looked radiant, I know she was ready to evict! So when your little one refuses to cooperate and settles in for an extra two weeks in the womb. Well. We all get a little impatient!

But finally – he arrived!

And I got to create these precious images of him in his first 48 hours of life – at the hospital meeting his brother and just settling in to life outside.

So precious – so perfect – and so loved.
