Watch the Flowers Grow

What a weekend it has been! So exciting! Early sunday morning I got a call from my good friend Ken Flower telling me that Beth was in labor. The long awaited Flower firstborn was on her way! I told Cory and neither of us could get back to sleep after that.

During the second service at our church on Sunday, I got a text from Ken stating that June Bailey Flower had arrived! Cory and I were so excited to go to the hospital and meet her and to see Ken and Beth! She is such a beautiful daughter for Ken and Beth, even at just three hours old!

It was such and surreal experience to see my good friends from college, whom I knew before they were dating each other, now enjoying the birth of their first child. You could tell that they were exuberant with excitement and Cory and I are so excited for them!

Oh, and I brought my camera along, there were some other photographers there as well. Newborn photos. Check.

Without any further adieu- June Flower.

Ken's brother Tyler was there as well with his daughter who had only been born a few weeks earlier. Her name is Jane and it was cool to get to meet her and see Tyler and Stephanie again!

This next photograph I couldn't decide if I liked it better in black and white or color. Please let me know what you think in the comments below!

Billy, I think I would go with the color on that one. Her skin is so beautiful and I think the black and white picture hides that. It's so exciting that Ken and Beth are parents! Wow! Thanks for sharing your pictures. :)

They're both good -- but I lean towards the color one because of it's vibrancy. :-)

And I love the title of this post! ;-)

Thanks.

Hope you are well.
