At my second birth in 3 days time, I heard something that needs to be shared. Mama wanted a birth photographer, she knew it was one of the most profound moments in her life, and that it was important to have it documented. I think Dad wanted his wife to have what she wanted, but maybe... wasn’t quite understanding why she felt it was necessary. “I’ll take photos!” he said, and he did take a couple.

After their daughter’s safe arrival, he mentioned to us how much he realized they would have missed if I hadn’t been there. How he got caught up in so many moments taking in his new baby that documenting it wasn’t even a thought in his mind. He EXPERIENCED this, too. And he had a big, important role to play supporting his wife in whatever way she needed him, which is not a role that allows for much distraction. At the end of it all, he understood the value of hiring a photographer, and I went home with a very full heart.

PS - He says you need me at your birth, too. 😜

In their arms at last. ❤️

My favorite images aren’t always the most popular ones and that’s okay. I suspect this will be one of those. The coexistence of the quiet and the intense, combined with the support, the simplicity of the scene... this one speaks to my soul.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the time lapse video from this birth is still up in my stories!

Wow. Just wow! 😮 This second time mama, who had a very fast first labor (one hour active/transition, two hours pushing), really kept me on my toes the last few weeks! Last night I watched her roar her baby earthside in the most primal display of womanhood. She is a force to be reckoned with! **Visit my stories for a time lapse video of the moment she met her baby!

Ohh, my heart. 😭 This moment is giving me all of the feels today. Visit my stories to see more from this beautiful birth gallery I just delivered! ❤️

Baby’s arrived, placenta’s delivered, cord is cut, bleeding looks good, body temperature is where it should be, baby’s latched and then finally... everyone disappears. It’s just you, your love, and the life you created. Inhale...exhale... you drink it all in, you feel all the feelings wash over you. God, I remember THIS feeling so vividly after each of my births... do you?

You did it, sweet mama. You made it to the other side. (See one post back for the before!)

Speaking of #mondaymotivation... 😱😍💪🏻
Mamas are strong. as. fuck. 🙌🏻 Just when you think you can’t, you do.

Details. ❤️
