I’ve been working on this for quite some time now.  I’ve probably watched this 50 times already, and I still tear up every time :)  I’m so grateful to have these images to remember one of the most life-changing days of my life.  Even though this was our third child, because it was my first drug-free birth, I felt like it was the first time I truly experienced all that giving birth encompasses.  Not to say that my other births weren’t amazing and beautiful - they were.  For me, this was just such a different experience that it is hard to even put into words.  I’ll let the slideshow tell our story…

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.
