Baby Blake - in the hospital

My good friend Tiffany had her baby at 25 weeks! Baby Blake weighed 1 lb 11 oz at birth. It is really a miracle that with our doctors and technology today, we are able to help babies like Blake survive at this very young age. I had the wonderful opportunity to go take some pictures of him. He has now reached the 3 lb. mark which is awesome! He is doing really good, it's all just a matter of time and gaining weight before he is able to come home to his family. Let me introduce to you Baby Blake . . .

This is the second time that Tiffany was able to do skin-to-skin with Blake. It was neat to be able to be there and observe the beautiful connection between a new baby and new mommy.

This is Blake's daddy's wedding ring. The doctor said that if we had gotten the pictures when he was first born, it probably could have fit all the way up to his thigh! I would have loved to get that picture! But this still shows how teeny tiny his little foot is. More pictures of Baby Blake to come!!!

If you know anyone who has a baby born this early and would like some hospital pictures of their baby, please let me know. It is just a short session, and I am very sensitive to what they feel comfortable doing with their baby. These sessions are at no cost. I want the parents to have some beautiful professional pictures of their baby at home while they are waiting and waiting for their baby to finally come home with them.

Happy Memorial Day!
