Last night, I had the amazing privilege of photographing a dear friend’s birth. Even as I type this, it’s hard to put into words how I feel.    I have been in awe since last night.  I was amazed by the human body and what it can endure for the sake of another.  I’m overwhelmed with emotion with I see a baby, minutes old, quiet and settle the moment she is placed on her mother’s chest.  I’m proud of the father as he holds his wife’s hand, telling her how much he loves her…pride burstng forth for her.  I’m proud of all women as I watch a doula gently support and guide this laboring mother.  This mother, who gave birth her way.  How she wanted, where she wanted.  Who showed so much strength that I could only wish to have at such a time.  There’s so many more thoughts running through my head that I can’t even collect them.  I think I’ll let the images speak for themselves.  Here’s just a tiny sampling of the day.
