My Newest Niece - Clara Mae

Clara Mae Lindley was born at home at 1:49 a.m. on Thursday, April 19th. She weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long.
My sister is a doula so with her third child she decided to give birth at home, which is definitely a unique experience for a family. I admire her strength and enthusiasm as a mother and doula.
Clara was so great to photograph. She was so calm I couldn't believe it, but if her older brother and sister are any indication, she probably won't be quite so calm for future photo shoots! It was great for Valerie and I to meet our new niece and spend some time with her. Enjoy the photos - and let me know what you think of them. I could use a good critique!
