This was one extra special birth for me to photograph! Jill and I have been the best of friends ever since junior high school. I had the incredible pleasure of photographing the birth of her son Travis a year and a half ago, and now I have had the honor of photographing her daughter Taylor's birth. So amazing!!! Jill was induced yesterday and gave birth to Taylor just before 5:00 PM. Taylor weighed in at a whopping 10lbs. 6oz!!!! We were all shocked! And Jill, well, she is now my hero!! She was absolutely amazing through the delivery, and when I spoke with her this morning on the phone she sounded great! The birth was not absolutely perfect though. Taylor's shoulder was stuck on the way out, and her clavicle is fractured. It is expected to heal in a couple of weeks. Jill and Ryan got to spend a few moments with Taylor after she was born, but then she had to go to the NICU for a few hours to be monitored. She is doing wonderful now and has been with Jill and Ryan since late last night.
Congratulations, Jill and Ryan! And Travis too!!! He is a big brother now!! Wow!!! Jill, it was such an honor to be there with you for a second time to witness you and Ryan welcoming another miracle into the world. I am so incredibly happy for your family, and I wish you the very best!! I really hope you enjoy the photos.....
Jill, I am so proud of you! I love you!
