Adeline!

Okay, so this is Andy, Sarah and their daughter Adeline. I've known Andy for a long time...I actually took his senior pictures when he graduated back in 2002. I met Sarah for the first time this past summer and answered her and Andy's questions about doing pregnancy pictures. So...we were set to do their pregnancy pictures the end of September, but Andy got busy with work, so we ended up canceling their sitting. When Sarah called to tell me that they wouldn't be able to do it, I asked her about the possibility of me going into the delivery room (to take pictures) when they had their daughter. She said that she was fine with it, but she wanted to talk to Andy and her doctor first. So...fast forward and Sarah calls to tell me that I got the okay to be in the delivery room, but at this point, Sarah was on bed rest. :( Sarah's due date was November 9th, but it didn't seem like she was going to go that long. So...I found out on October 14th that Sarah was going to be induced the next morning. I was so excited! I got to the hospital on the 15th at about 9:30AM. Sarah was only dilated to about three centimeters, but I hung out with her and Andy for the day and got to see everything first hand. It was a long day, but it was sooo worth it! Sarah started pushing around 7:30 and at 8:24PM Adeline Elizabeth Check made her debut! It was AMAZING! I didn't think I would be emotional, but I couldn't help crying! Again...it was AMAZING! I will never be able to thank Andy and Sarah enough for allowing me to be there for a HUGE event in their life. Anyway, Adeline came to my studio on October 26th...she was eleven days old...for her first big photo shoot. It was so fun to get to see how much Adeline changed since I last saw her. So...here area a few of Adeline's images. She is such a little doll!
