We welcomed Elena Marie on June 22nd, 2011 at 8:49am in the morning. She is two weeks old today. Indeed what a blessing it was for our family to welcome a healthy baby girl (with ten fingers and ten toes as Bevs was anxious to confirm). Our lives were forever changed... yet again. I can't say enough about how awesome our experience was at Huntington Hospital. The staff nurses could not have made our stay at the hospital feel more like home away from home. To be attended by Dr. Scanlon was such a blessing, it almost makes me want to try for another boy (not! #YChromosomeFail). The older sisters literally welcomed baby Elena with open arms - they couldn't take their hands and kisses off of the little one. And Bevs - what a trooper... I am forever grateful for these memories which I am happy to have captured with my own hands for our children to look back at and to share with our family, friends and the 'inner-net'. LIFE is indeed a miracle, welcome baby Elena Marie!
Most of these images (can you tell which ones?) were captured on Tri-X and pushed two stops in development. Lots of grain and contrast, I'm still experimenting with this look. Here's my little 'reyna' Elena at two weeks old. Cheers!
absolutely beautiful!
