I had such a fun time with Camille and her mother:) It has been my priveledge to know this sweet family for several years now. Camille’s Dad, Brother Castleberry, is the pastor of Victory Church in College Station. If you are ever in the area and are looking for a church, give them a visit ~ www.victoryupc.com Sister Castleberry brought three of the balloons but one ended up losing its helium…but I think the two were plenty large:) Thank you for letting me in on this precious time in your lives…I know her 16th birthday will be just as sweet as both of these ladies.
Miss Ellie Clare was born on November 21, 2011 at 3:15, weighed 7lbs 3ozs and was 20 inches long. This is Sam and Chelsea (Hotzen) Manning’s first little one and she planned to have her at home with the help of her midwife, Erin. The baby’s head was not turned properly and her heart rate wasn’t where it needed to be so they had to head to the hospital. I asked Chelsea what was the hardest part about delivering Ellie all natural and she said the hardest was not being able to push on the drive to Bryan. Little Ellie arrived after being at the hospital for about 20 minutes. I asked Chelsea was she disappointed that she did not get to have her at home and she said no that it was nice to get to experience both. She said one good thing about the hospital was the doctor that she ended up getting really believed in natural births….his wife had actually had all of their kids at home so there was no pressure to go the typical route. Chelsea said that the main thing that helped her was staying focused and calm. This sweet little family is off to a wonderful start and it was such an honor to capture Miss Ellie’s first portraits:)

Good job Les!
Jude Trace Vick was born on October 30, 2011 at 8:36 AM. He weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces! If you know his momma then you are probably saying WOW….how did little tiny Ciara give birth to a half grown boy!! Then you would have to say a double WOW if you knew she had him all natural at her home….by choice:) I asked Ciara to tell me a little about her experience and I didn’t get a whole lot of info (so I may add more to the post later)….but when I asked her to text me a little info on it she said that Jude was their big blessing and she loved having him at home. It was very special and she said it really helped them bond on a whole new level because she truly labored for him….it was hard work but so worth it:) Now that is a precious little testimony that this family will treasure their whole lives:) Since Jude came out half grown, we could not get him to stay asleep….so we didn’t get as many poses….but I love seeing his beautiful blue eyes open anyway:) Congratulations Ciara and Troy….you have a beautiful little family:)

I am now booking sessions for January 2012. If you are an expecting mother please contact me as soon as possible for newborn sessions so that I can pencil you in on the calendar. I am going in for surgery Monday morning. I won’t be shooting for six weeks but will be doing other photography related work:) emails, editing, filling orders, ect….Please don’t hesitate to email or call with any questions….I may not return any calls or emails for about a week so I hope every one has a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you are a senior I must encourage you to book your sessions early durning the new year. These session will be limited and I will not be taking any last minute sessions:) (I have learned that it is not good for my family to have mom all stressed out!) February and March are good months to get those senior sessions in for plenty of time:)
