Wade Landry Santangelo.

I had the awesome opportunity today to join Christy & Clint today on one of the best days of their life, the birth of their first child (I was there for the other one... you may remember their beautiful wedding on the beach). I was so honored to be with them and their families for the amazing event. Christy ended up having to have a c-section and they picked me to go in alone with Clint (what an honor!). I tried to shoot everything leading up to the actual birth with my M8 and took out the Nikon when things started moving fast. It was really an amazing day and I wanted to share a few. A quick story before the images... When I first got to the hostpital they weren't sure what the name of their boy would be so they had a chart with votes up in the room. Christy had left it up to Clint on what his name would be and all the way until they walked into the deliver room he still had not told anyone. One of my favorite images was when the nurse asked Clint what his name would be right before the birth and he said, "His name is Wade Landry Santangelo." Christy turned and looked at him at the same time and I snaped an image quickly. This is the first image of many....

Blessings. Jason
