Rock. Star. Momma. Right here. I said it before, but I will say it again, Stephanie handled her long labor with such an inspirational and fierce determination, yet exuded such grace while doing so. Stephanie and her family have long been friends of our family. Not the hang out on weekends kind of close, but close…. after sharing a room with someone/anyone when their child enters this world instantly brings you closer. You share their pain, you share their excitement… you share that memory. That moment that their lives changed forever. Holy. Moly. What a moment.
Stephanie’s water was broken at 9:30am April 17th and little Will didn’t decide to grace us with his presence until 3:06am April 18th. This is the story of Stephanie’s labor and Will’s birthday. Enjoy.

@[1842888719:2048:Cathy Hudson Privette], this brought tears to my eyes! How beautiful! Wish they had been around when ours were born! Enjoy that precious bundle of love!
So very glad you like it. It was an amazing day. You should be so proud of your son… he was a champ. And Stephanie, well, she handled it beautifully.
The grandparents expression when they found out it was a boy, was one of my favorite captures of the whole day!
These videos are beyond amazing.
Cathy, I just saw this! How beautiful!
Love, love,love !!!! What a treasure to have this moment captured so beautifully!
Neely, sorry so late responding. I have watched this over and over and still get emotional every time I watch it. If it weren’t for you I would not have known about birth photography and would not have these moments capturing one of the most important events of my life. I was hesitant about sharing such a personal experience so publicly but it was so beautifully done and my hope in sharing this is more expectant mothers will consider this wonderful way of preserving such a life changing event. Thank you, thank you!
I LOVED watching this! It is so beautiful!
Aww I love it…. I’m so happy this showed up on my news feed
Wow, I have never seen anything like this. It is so beautiful! And I am still so proud of you!!!
Awe, thank you Amanda!! Neely is so talented and did a wonderful job. And thank you so much for hanging in there with me and giving me the confidence I needed to get through labor. So blessed to have you as my doctor:)
Amanda, thank you so much for allowing me to be in the room to shoot this. I am so grateful for understanding doctors that know what an important moment this is to capture!
