The Birth of Vivi: A Birth Story turned Fresh 48 session turned Lifestyle Newborn session

I knew Lynsey and I would hit it off the moment I read her email. ?

She had reached out because she was looking for someone to photograph the birth of her first baby, a little girl. I have had the best luck with my clients, and Lynsey was no different — she was warm and sweet and funny. I was so excited when she booked me and was waiting patiently for “the call” when I got a text from her 10 days early! From there, the text messages went a little something like this: 

And this all happened in the span of a couple of hours! Come to find out, little Miss Vivi’s heart rate kept dropping every time mama had a contraction, so the doctor decided a c-section was the safest route to take. While they were delivering her, they also noticed that she was breech! What the doctor thought was her head was actually her bum. As Lynsey described it, she was “folded up like a lawn chair!”, so it was a blessing in disguise that a c-section was needed. I was bummed to not be able to capture her birth, but so relieved that mom and baby were doing well! I offered to do a Fresh 48 session instead, but recovery from a c-section is no joke, so we decided to let mama rest and do an in-home lifestyle newborn session instead. Y’ALL. Things have a way of working out because Miss Vivi’s nursery was EVERYTHING. And Lynsey, Ryan, and Vivi are a magazine-worthy gorgeous family on top of it! Keep scrolling and see for yourself. ?
