I was privileged to capture Ikue and Hiroki’s wedding day.  And now I am doubly blessed to witness and capture the birth of their daughter, Mikoto.  I have witnessed the birth of my own three daughters but it truly never gets old.  It is miraculous to see the birth of a life!  Ikue and Hiroki, I am so happy for you both.  Mikoto is blessed to have you as Mommy and Daddy.  Congratulations!!

Labor is not fun!!

She’s almost here!!

Precious!

Mommy’s first touch.

“She’s beautiful!!”

A family is formed.

Happy grandparents!

Daddy can’t get enough.

Getting ready to go home.

“Thank you, everyone!”

    Oh wow! This is the first post I looked at today and it just made my day. This post is truly a work of art as it allows all of us to feel the emotions associated with being present during such a miraculous moment! The miracle of life– You have captured it beautifully and arranged the photos with such sensitivity and in such a creative way. I think using just the sepia tones for the photos was an excellent choice. Thank you for sharing it!

    Riz,
    I love these pics. They look great. Just wondering why the pics aren’t bigger and why you’re showing the page layout. Just a thought. Your pics look so good that I felt like they deserved more space on your website.

    But seriously, these pics are outstanding.

    Joe
