February 24, 2009 - 10:12 am alice - Beautiful! I like them all, but especially the one of the doctor holding the baby. Then the one of Dad handing the baby to mom - handling the baby like a fragile, breakable piece of china. Great idea with the newspaper date! Thanks for sharing these - wonderful!

February 25, 2009 - 12:19 pm BFF - These pictures took my breath away and caused quite a few tears for this pregnant, hormonal mommy to be. :) I just love how you captured every detail of this special day. Kelly & Phil are so lucky to have these pics! I hope & pray that you'll be able to come to Portland when I'm in labor and take pics like this of me & my baby it would be well worth the cost of 10 plane tickets!
