the birth of Lola Anne

It’s really quite something when you’re moved to tears by your own photography…so very special. I’m thrilled to be able to share this beautiful birth story.

Holly and Dirk, it was an absolute honour to photograph the journey and arrival of your adorable baby girl. It was such a moving experience, words can’t describe how wonderful it was to be there to document Lola Anne’s birth story. There were so many beautiful moments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share your birth experience with you. I hope you treasure these images always.

    I simply could not stop with my tears. I am totally silent after watching this. I never shed this much tears with photos/video’s. I am really impressed with your being so sharp for so many hours – that’s why you are a pro but, even then! how many pro’s can put 200% for so many hours?! How fortunate is this family to have such a great record. This is a history.

    I just saw this Natalie.. how precious this is! You have so beautifully captured little Lola Anne coming into the world – I especially love all the little details.
    Holly – how wonderful to see Lola’s birth so filled with love and tenderness.
    Tears of emotion..? Streaming…!

    Dear Natalie, this is just soooo beautiful! Was not able to hold back my tears, watching this so shortly after Fabijan’s birth. You did a great job once again! Sweet Lola Anne will have great memories to cherish :)
