Addison's Birth Story -

What are birth stories?

The simple scoop is that they are a birth experience documented with photos throughout the experience.  Not photoshoped, not glamourous, not portrait style photography - but realistic (G-rated though of course) photographs that give us a glimpse into the intimate moments when a little new one first comes into this world.

It's so wonderful to have photo stories that tell the beginning of a babies life like nothing else could have.    The moments go so quickly you'll want to have them preserved so you can remember this special time over and over again.

This is the birth story of baby Addison - a first baby for Karianne and Greg and MY first grandbaby.  Because I'm a labor & delivery nurse, you would think delivering babies would be so routine.  But each experience when the baby is finally born is so unique.  I'm just grateful to be an intimate part of this story.  This birth and each birth is a miracle.  They happen every single minute of every day but that doesn't diminish the wonder of it all and our Heavenly Father's glorious hand in bringing each precious little one into their new family.

I was so impressed with Karianne and Greg, to see how they cared for each other.  I loved how baby Addison responds to mom and dad immediately, recognizing their touch and the sound of their voices.





Thank you Charm, Wendy and Julie for being an important part of this birth story.  You all make an incredible team!  It was amazing to see you all work together and create such a personal, warmhearted and caring atmosphere.
