welcome, jett | my birth story

on june 17th at 12:21pm…

With every ounce of my being, I gave a final push.  Speckles of water shot through the air above me, glittering among the bright bulbs shining down as if in slow motion, and I heard him sputter out.  An arm rose up, giving me my first glimpse and I heard my little man take his first breath of life outside of my body.  Before ever seeing his face, before ever looking into his eyes and meeting this being whom I’ve known for so long, I was overcome with emotion… with love.

I replay this over and over in my head, desperate for its surge of emotions to come flooding back, to live on its high.  This is exactly what I want to remember for all of time.  This is my birth story.

Welcome, Jett.

    Voltaire,Read up on the Free Muslim groups. They’re already answering your call, but they get virtually no publicity because of the lock that CAIR has on the MSM.The leaders of one such organization of Muslim dissidents have joined forces with the 910 Group. That’s one of my primary motives for writing about this — the “I hate all Muslims” meme is doing these folks a grave disservice.ReplyCancel

    I was actually there that day. At one point in time of my family history this was right on the edge of family property – some 10,000+ acres. I went back to Jefferson Island back in 1997 & gave guided tours of what is left of The Gardens & The Joseph Jefferson Home. It was all so surreal. I doubt I will ever forget what I saw that day & how Mr Jefferson’s son had to literally be dragged away as he stood shocked in utter disbelief that his beautiful Gardens & Home was being sucked into the hole.ReplyCancel

Our families, our children, our bellies, they change and evolve so quickly. Let’s freeze this moment in time, this innocence and love and capture it for years to come. Come and play, shine your beaming light of love and let me be along with you to capture these beautiful moments. Contact me to plan your photo shoot experience, whether in my natural light studio, my sun-kissed field or beach. I promise it will be one you won’t soon forget. xoxo
