Benjamin's Birth Story | St Mary's Hospital | Grand Junction Colorado

Benjamin Gabriel Adams arrived on October 26th, 2013 weighing in at 7 lbs 6.3 oz and 20 inches long.  What a beautiful experience this was for both me and this amazing family.  I have really found a new love and purpose for my photography.  Lavinia (Ben's Mother) and I kept in close contact for the past few weeks knowing that Ben could make his appearance at any given moment.  We had a game plan and she would call me when she was in route to the hospital and then keep me posted as the doctors checked in on her so that I wouldn't have to spend lots of down time waiting around at the hospital.  I got the first call on Friday the 25th around 11 am saying they were at the hospital and induction had commenced.  Lavinia sent me several texts throughout the day and the next phone call I received was around 6 am the next morning.  I was too excited so I jumped out of bed and flew to the hospital.  I snapped away for a good two hours before we decided that things were pretty much at a stand still.  I went on home to wait for the next call which was right about 11:10 saying that Baby's head was sitting right on the cusp and he was itching to make his debut!  Again I rushed to the hospital and not even 30 min later little Ben was born!  Check out his birth story below!  There is a special surprise in the video that I encourage you to watch.

As a mother myself I know what it's like to be completely wiped out and caught up in the moments of child birth that you forget a lot of the emotions.  I am so thrilled to be able to offer Birth Story Photography to families and capture these once in a lifetime experiences.

Congratulations Adams Family on your new baby boy!
