chase : omaha birth photography

Yesterday, my amazing, dear friend Wendy had a baby - Chase William, born at 7pm and weighing 7lbs 7ozs. Lucky boy! I was SO honored that she and her husband Dan invited me up to the hospital to meet him just after he was born. Well...she did have an ulterior motive - she wanted Runza :). I was able to spend a few hours from about 9pm to 11:30pm (thank you, lax visiting hours!) with mom, dad, baby, and grandma - I can't tell you how exciting and emotional it was. Truly one of the best days of my life!


He was in the baby warmer the first hour or so I was there.

Not really a fan of anything that interrupted his sleep. But oh, that baby cry...so sweet.

Happy and snug.

Looking right at me. **dies**

Mom, dad, and grandma...

First burp...

Love this picture of dad watching his gorgeous wife and new son.

Did I mention how gorgeous Wendy is? Even post-labor?

Dad's not bad either.

Chase TOTALLY got mom's cute ski-jump nose.

Yes, I got to hold him too.

Happy birthday, Chase, and MUCH much much love to you all.
