When I met Elizabeth and Barron at our consultation, we spent a long time talking. They had very few questions for me, which is pretty unusual, but Elizabeth said she does her research on everything, so she had already found out everything she needed to know before even meeting me. That's my kinda woman; I'm exactly the same way! So, since they really had no questions, we just spent all of our time getting to know each other, which was perfectly fine by me. As a birth photographer, I feel that it is of the utmost importance that my clients and I feel 100% comfortable with each other.
Elizabeth and Barron had been trying to start a family for 5 years with no luck. They decided it was time to go another route, and chose in vitro fertlization (IVF). Eleck and Cora Jo are the result of what, I'm positive this couple now believes, is the best decision they have ever made! Now, thanks to the incredible doctors and medical staff at PREG, these sweet people have the family they've wanted for so many years and I couldn't be more thrilled for them! These two couldn't say enough good things about PREG and highly recommend them to anyone needing help conceiving.
We arrived to Mission Hospital in Asheville before 6am on July 26, 2015 for Elizabeth's scheduled c-section. As you can imagine, after waiting for 5 years, all of the family was anxiously awaiting the arrival of these precious twins, so I had some company while I waited for the babies to be born. I was joined by Elizabeth's mom, dad, and sister, and later some of Barron's family arrived. I was thankful for these family members helping keep me awake and entertained!
Once we were allowed back to see the new family, excitement, squeals, laughter and tears of joy filled the room! It was incredible to watch the love pour from every single family member and friend that came to visit that afternoon. I hope that you will get a small glimpse of this love through the images I've shared here because it really is beautiful! Thank you Elizabeth and Barron for giving me the honor of watching you become parents and for trusting me to tell your story!
