Introducing Baby Boy Florek! / St. Louis Baby Photographer

I don't think I've ever been more nervous for a photo shoot as I was for this one. Tammy had called me a few months ago and asked about my First Year photo package, and also asked if I would be willing to come to the hospital for the birth. I was floored. I know when I had Maggie I didn't want a camera near me! She explained that for her previous kids her husband was so nervous/excited that some of the photos were blurry, so she wanted good photos since this would be their last baby. I agreed and was nervously excited for the big day. Both Tammy and I were a little nervous about the whole timing of the birth and I if I would be able to actually be there since I had a family of my own to worry about. As her scheduled induction began yesterday morning we both waited anxiously. It couldn't have gone more perfectly if we had planned it all out ourselves! My husband was able to work from home so he could stay with Maggie, she took a nap at 2pm and Tammy's husband called soon after. I rushed to St. John's and got there just in time...baby boy Florek was born at 2:59pm! Oh my gosh...it was amazing! The last live birth that I attended I was a little preoccupied to really witness what was going on! ;) It's such a miraculous, beautiful thing...I highly recommend it! Tammy & David, thank you SO much for entrusting me to take such intimate family photos. I'm honored to have been present at the birth of your precious baby boy. Best wishes - A :)
