Let me just say that I have been floored for years that I am allowed, even more than that, invited into the intimate moments of a couples wedding day. The exchanges that I witness from behind my camera on those days make me feel like I have the greatest job there is. They are unforgettable...
Now I wasn't sure if there were any other days or moments of our lives that could affect my heart as deeply as a father giving away his only daughter to a man he finds worthy, or a man and women covenanting with God and each other to choose each other in love for all the days of their lives... But I must confess that being let in a delivery room when a family sees their new grandson or nephew for the first time, asked to capture the moment a baby takes his or her first breath... there are not moments like these. I could never explain how honored I am to be the one in the room behind the camera during these moments. And in this particular case it was some of our best friends that invited us in..
Asher Hugh Benton was born at 8:04pm on February 18,2009. He arrived at 7 pounds and 8 ounces, 21 inches long. And I promise from the moment I met the little guy, he has been an obvious picture of all his mom and dad's joy. It was such a gift to wait along with so many friends and tons of Alex and Brooke's family for the arrival of Asher...
Brooke's dad immediately fell to one knee weeping and thanking God for the arrival of healthy little Asher... unforgettable.
