After Macy’s birth, I quickly realized that it was one of the most rewarding “sessions” I had ever done. Okay…maybe it’s because I had a new beautiful baby sister in the end, but I don’t think that was the only thing that made me feel that way. There was just something almost…magical…about being present during something so miraculous. Being the one to capture every moment. Erica often tells me how precious it all was to her. She talks about how everything was a blur and she was so out of it that she doesn’t remember everything. She says that she and Myca sit and watch the slideshow with tears. Myca has to walk away because she just can’t take it (yes…she is as emotional as we are, but she truly gets it and knows that they are tears of joy. she’s our old soul.).

It’s an added bonus that  I also love the emotion and drama you can see in hospital pictures. I love using the available light. The graininess in the photos. The truly unposed pictures. Capturing each and every emotion.

You would think, with all of that, the decision to make this big change would be easy, but in true “cilla” fashion, it wasn’t. I’m pretty sure I was trying to talk myself out of it. What if this happens…what if that happens….I can’t get this collection just right…what if no one wants to do it…what if…what if…what if. Then finally I gave up the “what if” and realized this was what my heart wanted to do and there was just no stopping it. So, as I made the announcement a few years ago that I would be doing weddings, I am now making the announcement that I will now be offering Birth Photography and a Day in the Life sessions (side note…I have been meaning to offer this since I first started…even did a sample one…but decided to wait), but will no longer be doing weddings after this year (okay…okay…I have one next year and possibly another…but that’s it! lol). My biggest fear is that I would be in the middle of a wedding and find out that a client was going into labor. Can you imagine? If I do a wedding, I can only take births that are far apart from the wedding date. Or I would be a total stress ball.

You can view a birth slideshow below. If you are viewing this through email and cannot see the video below, you can go to www.priscillabphotography.com/blog/ to see it.

Thank you so much for all your support always!

Seriously…is there anything cuter than newborn twins? I told D and S that the girls will always be turning heads. There’s just something so sweet about twins that makes people turn and talk.  

The girls decided to show me first hand how it is in the life of newborn twins. As soon as one was fed and happy, the other would be ready for her bottle. It was perfect. I’m sure they thought I was full of it when I said that was the perfect opportunity to get the real shots that I love so much.

Momma has been oh so patient waiting for their sneak peek! So, without further ado (who am I kidding…I’m sure everyone’s already snuck to see all the cuteness or seen them on facebook!).

Who’s bright idea was it to try and fit two adults and twin baby girls into one chair? Oh that would be the ever so brilliant me I have to admit, I am so glad I did. They are truly such a happy couple and they were cracking up the whole time. I’m sure they were thinking I was crazy, but not once did they say it. They didn’t complain, huff, or roll their eyes (at least not that I could see ), they just tried it. And that’s why I love them…well, and maybe because they have a pink room.

Peace and so much love,

Oh what a beautiful family this is. One of the most beautiful families I’ve ever photographed. That fact with the beautifully decorated home (especially little Miss E’s room…and the pink scrapbooking room…yes, I said pink scrapbooking room! I was in love.) and the fact that they were as sweet as can be, made this session…well…perfect. Momma has such a great sense of style, which provided me lots of adorable accessories to photograph E in. I’m not sure if I’ve said the word “beautiful” enough. Honestly, not sure I could say it enough. You’ll see…

This is what I walked up the stairs to see. I didn’t make it all the way up before I sat one camera down and started shooting this with the other. S and I had the same idea. Before she even got the full sentence out, I was shooting. So much love in this home.

E’s best friend stopped by for a little photo op. I have a feeling they will have many more of these as the years go by.

Peace and much much love,

Seriously could’ve taken him home with me. He was so sweet and slept most of the time. Doesn’t he look so peaceful?

One of my favorite momma and baby pictures. She’s a natural…both in front of the camera and with being a wonderful mom. She’s already got it down

Did I already mention peaceful? Oh so cuddly and sweet….

We met for the first time 2 years ago when I photographed their adorable family of 3. Their darling L has remained one of the cutest little girls I’ve photographed. I was beyond thrilled when I received the call saying they were expecting another member of the family! Another beautiful little girl.

I just melted when I saw her. That hair! Those cheeks! Beyond adorable. The relationship that L has with her already is incredible. So protective. She calls her “my baby”. She wanted to hold her baby and take care of her baby. So loving and so sweet.

The first picture on the left is almost a blur…she kept me on my toes

Here’s a very similar image from their first session. See how much she’s grown Have I mentioned that time passes way too fast!?!

Peace and much much love,
