Deployment Delivery...delivered.

After starting my business something I wanted to do to give back to my military community and something I felt close to my heart was what I call a Deployment Delivery. That is when a family is affected by a deployment and will miss the delivery of their child. I feel close to this because my husband, Frank, missed the birth of our first child. He left 2 weeks prior to her birth, and while I had the two very best people in the world with me (Krstyal and Tyler) documenting and providing support in their own unique ways, I wish I would have gotten Shaelyn's birth on film. So I have decided once a year to give a gift of photography, to a family separated by deployment during a birth. I was unable to give a birth session to this family, but did my best and gave a hospital session.
Walking into the room and smelling the smells brought me back 7 months ago when I had Emmitt. I am a person that links memories to smells and songs... so it was so powerful to me. Brought me back to those emotions of first having a baby, because those smells are the same as when I had my daughter. It's a warmth inside my soul that I could never describe, I only hope every mom also experiences it :) Okay, onto why your here... the hospital session.

  1. So interesting. Seeing these pictures made me "smell" the hospital too. Beautiful pictures. They brought back heart warming memories to me as well.
