Happy BIRTHday Bryn Lyla | Vancouver Area Birth Photographer

This beautiful mama just so happens to be a talented birth photographer in the Vancouver (Washington) area, and up until delivery day, we had only communicated through Facebook… however, when I walked into the delivery room to photograph her birth, it was like we had been friends for years, she was so easy going, funny, and was handling labor like a champ! I was flattered when she asked me to photograph the birth of her daughter, but instantly got a bit nervous knowing there would be a bit of a drive ahead of me as her hospital was over 2 hours away from my house. I worried I wouldn’t make it in time, or that traffic would be terrible, but thankfully the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, my kids were taken care of so I didn’t have to worry about babysitting, traffic was a breeze, and I sailed down there in record time (which might have been why I got pulled over on my way down, oops! Thankfully I told the officer where I was going and not only did he let me go, but he said “good luck” too!) When I arrived, we had some time to kill, so we just spent it getting to know each other, laughing, and preparing for delivery. When it was time to push, the family was called, and we were all over the moon excited to meet this sweet girl. Bryn came out weighing 7lbs 8oz and was covered in vernix. Up until this point I hadn’t seen a baby come out so “creamy” before, it was amazing. She was so healthy and beautiful. I got to stick around for big brother to show up and as you can tell by the photos, he was just smitten with her! It was a wonderful delivery and I was honored to capture this special day for such an adorable family! Congratulations Stacey, Luke, and big brother Landon…
