Last month I had the pleasure of documenting Miss Kennedy's journey into the world.  I am always so honored and humbled to be a part of something so miraculous, big, and grand. To think that someone would ask me to photograph their first moments with their new baby?  This is something I don't take lightly and every single birth is just as precious as the one before.  And every single birth takes my breath and leaves me with a tear in my eye at the miracle of it all.

After a false start and 6 hours of hard labor, Miss Kennedy finally made her entrance.  Enjoy.

2015 has seen a lot of changes for Dena Howard Portrait Design.  We moved into our newborn studio and started niching in Newborn & Birth Photography AND we on on the verge of launching a brand new website geared toward new parents! So exciting!  We will have a comprehensive list of resources ... everything from photographers to child and health-care providers.  Keep your eyes peeled for more on that after the first of the year.

I'm now looking forward to a happy and joy-filled 2016.

God Bless you all.

I just realized I never blogged my grandson's birth!  THIS is what made me fall in love with birth photography.  It was absolutely one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.  

And just a quick little plug for Union General in Blairsville.  Her nurse and doctor were absolutely amazing. Dr. Davis is the stuff! :)

Enjoy Ezekiel's first look at the world ;)
