Northern Light Medical Center Birth Photography

This family holds a very special place in my heart. Michele has been a loyal client and amazing friend since the day we met! I will always remember meeting her in the coffee shop in downtown bangor about 3 years ago, I brought my entire printer and laptop to our consultation. She walked in and sat down and sent me a message that she was in a red sweater, so i whipped my head around and saw her face light up! She hired me for the birth of her daughter. And like they say about all good connections, we instantly clicked. We did her maternity photos where I met her husband Mark, and her young son, Auckland. Shortly after the session, Michele called me early in the morning one morning and said she was having contractions and was headed to the hospital. I packed up quick and headed out as fast as I could. As I jumped in my car, I sent her a text saying, “You better not have the baby before I get there.” I thought I was funny because in my experience most labors tend to last at least a few hours. When I arrived to the hospital I walked through the front doors and received a text, “She’s here.” I was devastated, but then I remembered how funny Michele was and thought she was joking back to me. I arrived on the 7th floor and went down to the labor nurses’ desk and heard the newborn bells. I then looked over at a nurse and said I was there to photograph a birth. They said, sounds like your late! Again, I laughed and thought no, I couldn’t have missed it! They then confirmed, she had just delivered and was in the next room. I walked in just after baby was born. It broke my heart but I knew it was a freaky short labor, less than 2 hours. After delivering her second baby, it was determined Michele is known to have short labors you could say. I felt so bad I missed her birth but Michele always reminded me it was absolutely okay she had such a short labor and she was so happy I still made it for pictures of the baby and her just after.

So here we are 2 years later, and Michele hired me again for the birth of her second son, and third child. I was so pumped and so determined to NOT MISS IT. This time Michele was induced so we were prepared for when she was going to deliver. We stayed in touch the morning of and she let me know she was going in around noon. I arrive around noon because, well I wasn’t messing around this time. I knew there was plenty I could stay occupied by until she let me know I could join her in the delivery room.

I met Michele and Mark in the Labor and Delivery room around 130PM. She began labor and progressed slowly for the first few hours. Mark had a feeling it might be a longer labor since she was progressing slowly, so he decided to go for a walk. While he was gone, things started changing rapidly for Michele. She got her nurse and she confirmed Michele was fully dilated and ready to push. As Michele started transitioning to push, we tried to open her phone to contact Mark and he phone froze! She quickly told me his number and I called him. He arrived back to the room just in time to see his son be born. Michele’s delivery went perfectly and smoothly. Her son was laid on her chest and Mark cut the cord. Michele spent the first two hours bonding with her baby and doing skin to skin with her baby boy. Similar to the previous birth, Michele and Mark were unsure of their baby’s name until a couple of days later, they named him Nolan.
