Kitchin Family

This family was so cute! I loved photographing them. I took the pictures at their in-law's house, and their seven kids cooperated very well. Thank you, Kitchin family, for letting me take your family pics! :) Btw, it was REALLY hard trying to decide which pics to post, since the kids are all so cute. :)

The Value of Photo Editing

I know, not many people are happy when I mention photo editing (unless it's followed by "Oh! Does that mean you can erase my wrinkles/double chin?" - no, I can't, as far as I know of.). But photo editing has many pros. It can take a picture from blah to wow. Here's a couple of my favorite examples:

 Ok, so this one is more subjective. I think with the current light, it doesn't look that adventurous. So, before...

 Happy birth day!

Now let's get some drama going here!

Two Births in One Week

Yup, I attended two births in one week as a doula/midwife's apprentice! It was an awesome experience. :) So far I've attended six births and I've learned so much at each birth, from midwifery, to helping the mom cope with the pain by using massage or pressure.

So first was little Noah. He weighed in at 7lb. 2oz. Then a few days later came Emma and all 10lb. 9oz of her! :) They are both so precious and greatly loved by their families.

Thank you so much Erin and Ben, Laura and Caleb, for involving me in your birth experiences! :)
