London's birth story

oh how I love births!  really and truly there is nothing better than photographing a birth.  unless of course you're giving birth and in that case, that's better.  so Amber one-upped me.

I had the pleasure of being there almost from the beginning of London's birth and I can honestly say the love, anticipation, patience, and trust was nearly tangible.  These two patiently waited for 8 years to have a baby and I can honestly say that there are few spirits luckier than little London for landing a mom and dad like this.  congratulations you two.  thank you so much for letting me be part of such a miracle.

Roman's birth story

To be part of someone else's birth is always amazing.  I'll never forget my first invitation to a birth.  It was magical.  And if it could get any more magical than that, it would be if you were at your own sister's birth.  It was beautiful and she was strong and confident and intuitive. And FAST!  Little Roman was excited to be a part of this world and we were all very excited to meet him.  

And let me just say, that the only thing better than having a midwife that you love is having a midwife that you love that also happens to be your sister.  We have all been lucky to have Tiffany with us at each of our births, and she really is incredible.  I'm so happy I got some of these moments shared with her on camera!

Thank you for letting me be part of your big day.  Hooray for boys!

June's birth

I can't believe its been almost one year since this beautiful event!  it was my VERY FIRST photo shoot and I had no idea what I was doing.  and yet, this is my most favorite shoot, even today. Birth photography is so raw, so real.  no one cares that I'm there, no one keeps checking the mirror and I don't tell anyone that a hair is out of place or a shirt needs to be tucked in.  and every moment is a realtime memory of an event that can't ever be relived.

in honor of you, June.
