"I have a competition in me"

Free minutes!  Huzzah!


I don't know how I've gotten through the past few weeks.  Every day it feels like there's more to do than I can possibly fit into 24 hours, but every day I've managed to get it all done.  I've had a lot of help from my Love - thank you, dear!


So, the woman in this photo is awesome.  She's a natural home birth advocate (and three-time-success story!) and she's getting ready for #4!


It's really exciting for me to speak to women who understand my enthusiasm for natural home birth.  I've been meeting more and more of them as this idea is molded into a functioning business.  Things are coming along fantastically!


I can barely contain my excitement for Georgia's baby to come.  This will be my first of many things - the first birth I've seen (other than my own, I guess, and the beginning of my brother's some 18 1/2 years ago!), the first water birth I've seen, the first birth I'm photographing...  I'm relieved to be starting with someone I know well and am comfortable with.  Things could get a bit more challenging from here on out!


On another note, I have a confession to make.  And if you've seen There Will Be Blood, you know the reference.  I have a competition in me.  I want no one else to succeed.  It's not entirely true - I like seeing people work hard and do well.  But I will be good at what I do.  I will excel at what I do.  And I welcome a little competition to become the best.  It makes winning more fun.  =)

Good luck shooting that, it's probably going to be one major trip.

Also, this means war (lulz).
