Welcome Casey Moreland!

by Lisa Richmond

I offer complimentary services for birth photography as a special gift to my wedding clients. Births are full of that raw emotion, just like weddings. And, just like weddings, it takes a certain trust and comfort with the photographer to record these life-milestones in a sensitive, graceful, personal way while respecting family members and the process. How grateful I am to be trusted by these moms!

I love getting to share in these amazing moments with my couples. They are another step in the lives they began together back when I witnessed their weddings. Check out Katrina’s Family maternity session here.    Here is their wedding blog…

Since births are usually not scheduled, I am unable to commit to being there (even though I usually make it!).  But planning was a bit easier this time with Katrina and Joe because technically, this birth was scheduled. Baby Casey was taking her time and she was approaching her 2 weeks past due date so an induction was scheduled for the safety of baby and mom.

Actually, I really should have been able to make it, since I was just 10 miles down the road from the hospital doing a newborn (10 days old) shoot with another family. At about 2:00 pm, I got a text saying that things were still moving slowly, but they would keep me posted on Casey’s progress. At about 3:00, I received a text that said Katrina was dilated at 3.5cm. Ok, I thought, Later tonight. Plenty of time.

At 3:20 I received another text saying simply, “It’s happening now.” I thought to myself, WHAT is happening now? You were just 3.5cm 20 minutes ago and texted a “?”. No response. There was no way, right? 3.5-10cm in 20 minutes? (for the record, that took me days 🙂 I decided to finish up my newborn session and head over.

Yes, there was a way, apparently. A bright and shiny new Casey arrived just 35 minutes after the 3.5cm text.

I made my own arrival just about 10-20 minutes after her birth. Katrina and Joe were already adoring their newest daughter. She is fabulous with beautiful lips, eyes, and a smooth personality. I can’t wait to share her newborn session with brother Jordan and sister Shayla. Congratulations, Moreland family!
