Riley Love | Birth Photography

July 14, 2012

I met Melody while she was in labor, her husband Reinhardt and daughter Taylor were there as well.  Everyone was excited to meet Riley!

Taylor did a cheer to encourage Riley to be born.

Riley we miss you
Come home
Come home

After a while of not too much progress Melody asked me to leave and get some rest and she’d call when she was closer.  I headed back later that night around 9:45pm.

Melody worked hard, she pushed for several hours.  She was totally exhausted and little Riley just wouldn’t come out!  Melody ended up having a c-section and I came back two days later since the hospital would not permit me in the OR.  Both mommy and baby did amazing the whole time.  I can’t even tell you how lucky this little girl is to have a mommy that works so hard for her.  This little family is so wonderful and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to document their story and meet sweet little Riley Love.

Congrats you guys I hope you are enjoying your sweet babe!
