newborn photos galore . july 12 . 2007—
There are few times in a photographer's life so rich as this. A few days ago, I birthed my third boy, Monroe Gilbert Hanson, and as the sun peeked through my shades only six hours after his birth, all I could do was treasure my new little subject. 
He joins cousins Mendel Isaiah and Maya Yasmin, born 13 days earlier. They, too, are amazing and sweet subjects, and I feel stunned and overcome with the possibilities.
Monroe's birth story is up on the pregnant blog. Despite all odds, and perhaps because no one really believed it possible, I gave birth without any sort of surgical assistance after two previous c-sections.
You'll understand if my blog posts are a little gushy and superlative-laced from the hormones right now. But that's a good thing. Until I return to some baseline, I'll let you enjoy the photos.
