I recently photographed a home birth. It was amazing to witness and be a part of such a life changing event.

The labor was long and at home. I got there in time for cookies to be made and spent the day documenting the happenings around the house as I got to know the mom’s family. I went home when the laboring was slow and came right back as soon as it picked up. We spent the night working and resting working while she labored. The mom worked through much of her labor in a birthing tub and then needed to get out to push. I watched the baby crown and come out. Then documented his first breath and his first touch from his mother. Moments never to be forgotten by any of us there. I am forever indebted to this mom for inviting me to her birth.
