Christian Agellon Birth

I am not sure how to put this experience into words.  About two years ago, I met Mark and Joanne Agellon.  They hired me to shot their engagement photos and there wedding.  I was a very nervous being a new photographer and honestly worried about be a little older and not what you would typically get when you think about a creative, urban, out-of-the-box style wedding photographer.  Mark and Joanne were amazing people and I had the time of my life doing there engagement shoot.  They seemed so pleased with the photos and I was really looking forward to the wedding.  A couple of months later I was told that the wedding was off.  I was so sad because I thought they were a great couple.  Shortly after that, I got a call from Joanne that she wanted to hire me to do her maternity photos.  YEAH!  I could have been happier.  She and Mark were married in Vegas and are moving forward with their lives and their beautiful little boy.  On September 16, 2010, at 7:45pm Joanne called me and said "its time."  She left me a message because I was out walking with Paul and didn't get the message til I returned at about 8:30.  I called her back and she said she was dialated to 4 and the hospital had admitted her.  I packed up my bags and headed out to Kaiser in San Jose for my first ever BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY.  Yet again, Mark and Joanne trusted me with a momentus occasion in their lives.  Joanne didn't progress very fast and she had terrible back labor.  It was a very long night.  Mark took a short nap on the floor while I napped in the papa's chair.  At two we changed rooms, at 4 they gave her pitocin, at 10am she started to push and at 11:55 the most amazing birth of Christian Ruperto Agellon was born.  WOW!  Crazy Beautiful.  Thanks so much Mark and Joanne for sharing this day with me.  I hope you love the pictures as much as I do.  Love, Lauri (Studio 22381 Photography)
