I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was scheduled to photograph a birth for an acquaintance. Well, Mother Nature sometimes has her own ideas, and she doesn’t particularly care how we schedule things. Before anyone had a chance to get organized, the baby arrived almost two weeks early, after a labour of only an hour and 42 minutes. Basically by the time the Katie woke up and realised the baby was coming, it was nearly time to push, and there just wasn’t time to call anyone.
Obviously it’s disappointing that the photo session didn’t happen, but on the other hand I know they’re thrilled to have their new son with them, and mother and baby are both happy and healthy. I’m trying to schedule a time to get over there to get some photos of the newborn, so hopefully that’ll happen within the next week or so.
