We had a beautiful evening session with the Wolf family - Bette, Erich, and Jack. Lina was still in momma's tummy, but not for long! More on that later. Take a look at this special family:

It was a lovely evening and Ronald Bog Park is a quiet and pleasant space to photograph a busy 3-year old. Bette was feeling a few contractions, but was certain Lina was still days away from making her appearance. Little did we know how impatient Lina actually was. A little bit more than 24 hours later, Bette and Erich were racing down I-5 to the hospital! I'll let Bette tell it in her own words:

"...we pulled in to the valet parking in front of the hospital. I couldn't get out of the car, needing to sit there and scream a little more. Mike, the super awesome security guard who happened to be out front, ran to get a wheel chair and a doctor. I tumbled out of the car, and felt Lina crowning. I swear I wasn't even pushing. Erich came just in time to catch her head, then her shoulders, then the rest of her. The hospital staff showed up about two minutes later. And since that point, things have gone pretty well according to plan! Everybody's healthy, happy, and tired.

Fantastic!
