Baby Story-Gavin

Amy and Jake are regulars here at Sutberry Photography. I have had the honor of photographing all their important life events. Their engagement session, wedding and I was thrilled to also have been invited to photograph their baby story. From maternity to labor and delivery of their first child, Baby Gavin, to Gavin's newborn session. We won't stop there of course but until their next major life changing event let me share some highlights of Gavin's baby story!!

Maternity










At the hospital Amy was fabulous as always. She was sitting up laughing and putting on make up when I walked in the door. For those of you who understand what it means to deliver a baby let me tell you Amy was at an 8 when I arrived. She sat at 8 for the next 6 hours or so. I lost track after a while. It was THE LONGEST I've ever waited for a baby to be born that was not my own!!! THIS IS NOT TYPICAL!!!! Under normal circumstances I spend about 2 hours or so at a delivery. Well atleast I really like Amy and Jake and their ENTIRE family was in the waiting room and I like them too. Bonus: I learned to play "Apples to Apples"

Labor & Delivery






One of the funniest moments as the intensity of labor started to kick in was when Jake said "Don't worry, it will all be over soon and you can sleep the whole night" Amy looked at him as if he had 4 heads and said "And who is going to breast feed you!?!?!?"



There really isn't much a man can do in these situations but be there and try to be sweet. Jake was awesome. Every time Amy did deep breathing Jake would too. After every push he gave her a "thumbs up" and asked if she needed water. He also hit her epidural so many times that the nurse cut him off LOL!!!

























Almost a week later Baby Gavin was at home when I went to shoot his newborn session. I brought some of my winter decorations from home to jazz up his newborn session. I thought it turned out pretty stinkin' adorable!!

NEWBORN SESSION






We had to do something to represent baseball since Jake and Amy are huge fans!!










Gavin could not have asked to be born into a better family. You guys are going to have so much fun!!! I wish you all the best!!
