Birth Journey | Beverly Hills | Heath Roosevelt Wilson

Amber and I both volunteer for the Junior League of Los Angeles. I ran into her and her perfectly round belly at volunteer events and wondered how she looked so effortlessly beautiful while pregnant and volunteering. When she contacted me to document Heath's birth journey, I was so humbled that she thought of me. What an incredible moment to be present for. In learning more about Heath and his pre-birth journey, Amber had described Heath's nursery as a place where he would know that anything was possible. That stuck with me like glue. A gift with no strings or bows; just unconditional love and support.

I spent parts of three days with Amber, her witty husband Price, and family and friends while documenting the preparation, stories in the waiting area, the first images of Heath's first day, visiting day and finally going home. A special little guy in a tattered Chicago Bears jersey curled up next to Amber, sat in the waiting room, and made the journey home in Heath's knit hat. Poo Bear is surely a full fledged member of the Wilson family.

Heath Roosevelt Wilson entered the world at 3:14PM on June 28, 2010. From his button nose to his tiny fingers already wrapped around his Dad's finger, Heath first days were filled with love, laughter and a sense of calm.

Amber and Price - thank you for having me. Welcome to the world baby Wilson!
