Birth Story: Gracyn Wyatt Enters The World


Erica and Grant have 3 beautiful children who they absolutely adore. One girl and two boys, so when they found out they were having another little girl they were absolutely delighted. They knew this would be their final baby and they wanted to make sure they savored every last minute of the experience. Erica wanted nothing more than to go into labor on her own. However little Gracyn was enjoying her time on the inside too much, and had no desire to make her debut. So when Erica received the phone call late Wednesday night that they had a bed available for her she decided Gracyn had enough time and they were ready to meet her. 

It was a long night for Grant and Erica. By the time they got checked in and the meds started it was nearly 4am. They were exhausted but couldn't sleep because they knew what was about to unfold. The beginning labor was slowly progressing, 6 hours in and Erica had only dilated to 3cm. Erica was beginning to question if this was going to be her longest labor to date when she finally realized her water had just broke. At almost exactly one hour later, Gracyn Wyatt Reeder decided to grace this family with her presence. 

The entire room was in awe over her beauty. Every feature was perfectly formed; she was angelic, beautiful, sweet, and knew what she wanted. The day could not have been more priceless! Family trickled in to congratulate and stare in awe over this beautiful new little girl Erica and Grant had been blessed with. She was nothing shy of perfection!

Congratulations Erica and Grant. I was so blessed to be able to share in this amazing experience with you guys. There is nothing more miraculous than a mother giving birth to her child. Gracyn is one very lucky girl to have you both as parents. I wish your family the best, and look forward to watching her grow!

Hart Park: Frausto Family Session

"Family is not an important thing. It's everything!"  -Michael J. Fox

The day was anything but perfect for Adriana and her family. She was overwhelmed with the end of school and chaos felt like it was going on all around her. She contemplated long and hard on whether she should reschedule her family session. She had been waiting for these pictures all year, but felt like they might be doomed with how exhausting her day had been. A million reasons why she should cancel went off in her head, but she finally decided she needed to let everything go; she shouldn't let an overwhelming day take over an enjoyable time at the park with her family.  So she quickly got ready, rushed home to pick her girls up and headed to the park.

Chuy, Adriana, Emma, and Rose showed up at Hart Park picture perfect ready. I love the dynamic of love these two have for their girls. You see their faces light up at every little thing Emma and Rose do. They are definitely the princesses of their castle. It was such a nice relaxing time they spent together. Definitely my favorite session of theirs to date. I had no idea that Adriana was even contemplating canceling. She came dressed as beautiful as ever and ready to model off her family. I especially enjoyed our time capturing some priceless photos of her with the love of her life. We rarely take the time to showcase the love these two have for each other.

Chuy and Adriana, all I can say is I love you guys. I think you know that already, but I really do. I enjoy every minute I spend with you.  Thanks for trusting me once again to capture the love your family shares for each other. You are so beautiful!
