hazel

there is one thing that I cannot get enough of in life right now, babies

and right now I am very blessed to be surrounded by so many new little ones

a few weeks back we welcomed our newest addition to the group

miss hazel

and thankfully, I was lucky enough to get to take her picture

just hours after being born

little Hazel was brought into this world with an amazing natural delivery

and getting to talk with her mama about the experience just hours after her birth

was a pretty amazing thing

it is strange, in the current climate around deliveries in the U.S.,

I really do feel a kinship to other moms who have shared in unmedicated deliveries

because right now, they are hard to come by

and man, look at how great both mom & baby are doing so soon after delivering

Hazel was already rocking clothes

[don't worry, there had been lots of skin to skin lovin' earlier in the day]

I don't think poor Everly had clothes on until we left the hospital

it seriously never even crossed my mind

anyways, Hazel, we can't wait to hang out with you more

and I'm very thankful to get the opportunity to pick up a camera

and help capture some moments for the loved ones around me!
