Every birth is magical. But some mommas come in with stories that make being part of their day extra special.

Most women desire a beautiful birth and postpartum. This momma had a beautiful birth with her first child, natural birth at a birth center. But things went from amazing to scary when they suspected their newly born daughter had Down Syndrome.  What followed was a scary period of unknown outcomes, surgeries, nursing difficulties,  and adjusting to a new reality.  Read more about their journey and their special little girl here on their blog- http://lifeasweknowit-jenniferm.blogspot.com/2012/08/kennedy-is-big-sister.html

For their 2nd child, they wanted photos to document the birth, and the postpartum, which would be very different.

Then their big day arrived. I grabbed my gear and headed to her home.  It was beautiful to witness this mama laboring, changing positions, relishing the moment. That afternoon a strong thunderstorm rolled in. Bringing an amazing energy with it. Baby was posterior, so she used a lot of positions to encourage him to turn. Her Doula use rebozo techniques to help move baby. Once baby boy moved, he was ready to be born. Sweet baby boy cam earth side, and nothing but joy, peace, and calm followed. Everything this mama desired. Life as a family of 4 had begun.

Each birth photography client gets a slideshow of their images.  When possible I will be doing video clips as well.

Here is the "short" version of this mamas video.

I am so very happy that this family got the birth she desired so much.
