I think we’ve all been waiting for these photos…

Little Káel is a little over three weeks old now and he’s vibrant, full of personality, so sweet, alert, healthy, handsome, and all boy. ;) I went over to Sam and Jessica’s house yesterday and he was all happy to see his Auntie Rivkah!

Disclaimer: This is my 1st time photographing a baby! ;)

  • I stumbled across Jessica’s beautiful birth story on Pinterest. It brought tears to my eyes. Aren’t women the most courageous of creatures?? Your pictures are stunning. And for your first newborn shoot- talk about amazing. Love it all. Thank you for sharing.

  • this is so amazing! i love that she got to deliver at home and have it all captured, if she would have been in a hospital they would have never let her continue on naturally. Great work!

  • These are lovely.

    This may seem like a dumb question,
    but how do you put more than one photo in a frame to look collage like? (Like the ones with one large picture on the left, and two small ones stacked vertical on the right.) What is that called?

  • Such gorgeous photos. I loved the whole story, parts 1, 2, and 3. Thank you for sharing it. I love reading about home births. Kael has the face of an old soul. From the way you describe his mom’s personality, it makes perfect sense. The bottom two photos are the best! xx

  • I had look these photos again. They are all so incredible!!! Kaél is SO lucky to have a talented auntie like you!

  • Beautiful photos. Really amazing.

  • Rivkah,
    You are so gifted in this area…these photos capture soooo much love between mommy, daddy and baby.
    Thanks, Debi, for sharing these on your status…so happy for Samuel and Rebekah!♥

  • I can’t even remember how I came to Kael’s birth story because I have just sat here and read all 3 parts and am in COMPLETE awe!!!!! Words can’t even describe what I am feeling right now after reading that! What a beautiful story! What beautiful photos! Coming from a mother who had two c-sections I can certainly say had “modern medicine” been involved that story would have had surely ended in a c-section.

    WOW! Really, that’s all I can say! :)

    Thank you for sharing!

  • Seriously amazing! Lovely photos, adorable family!

  • Can I just say I love your boho style and cheered when you got your dreads! But OH OH!!! The joy I have to see your curlies again!!! (Coming from a fellow curly head!) You and Sam look breathtaking with your swirly locks!! A beautiful family indeed–besides its only fair to show your little man what he’s in for ;) Blessings and REST to you guys, in Jesus’ name! :)

  • He looks so happy (almost smiling!) w/mommie kissing him. this is my fav. all of them are favs!

  • He has so much character in his little face!! Beautiful family :o )

  • Your first time? Seriously? Amazing! These are so beautiful and unique – you’ve done an incredible job! And I have to comment on that changing table! Where can I get one!?

  • OMG! One of the cutest baby boys I have ever seen! And, I love your photography! Wow! This is one amazing family and I cannot wait to see then next part of the story! Thanks for posting!

  • No need for the disclaimer, they are great!
