the zacharias family. first there was quinn…she captured our hearts in a way we didn’t expect and left us wanting so so much more, but has stayed close by to remind us what hope looks like. second was asher…a man of few words, who is a sweet little ball of giggles and thoughtful stares and most definitely his mother’s son. and now beck…who will you be, little love? can’t wait to see.

january 2011, i was on a snowy highway returning from prince george when i got a call from emma saying oliver had been born and she wanted to get some baby pictures taken. he was a sweet and very wakeful little thing who i will always remember as the first baby (who was not my own) to pee on me . fast forward two and a half years and here is owen…born into the sun and sleepy as can be. opposites who are sure to be the best of friends.

it’s hard for me to sum up this experience in words. lucky for me, i take pictures too.
i got to photograph my first birth. i had warned rachel that i could not commit to being there due to the busy wedding season, but i would do my best to make it there as quickly as i could after the baby arrived. none of us were expecting what came next.
just after 8:00 on a friday morning 2 weeks before babe was due to arrive, i got a text: “in labour”. i arrived at the house about 40 minutes later and she was in the final stretches. problem was, her husband grant wasn’t home from work yet. he had left for vancouver early that morning and since no one expected this baby to come so soon, he wasn’t even sure she was in labor when he got the first call. the midwife said later she could tell rachel was subconsciously holding on so grant could get there…
20 minutes later, everett arrived as quickly and quietly as labour had begun. while rachel lay in the tub, stunned at what just occurred, daddy came home and was as shocked as the rest of us that babe was here. i’m so glad that i was able to make it in time so that grant has the pictures to look back on. thankfully rachel had an amazing team of women, between her midwives and her doula, so she was fully supported through the whole process.
i think it took me a good couple of day to come down from the adrenaline high of witnessing this. it was so surreal…the only time i’ve ever been in a room for a baby’s birth was with my own, so it was strange when i was back home by lunchtime with no babe in my arms! thank you rachel and grant for inviting me into this process with you! it was such a miracle and such a blessing for me to be a part of it.
