A few weeks back I posted briefly about an amazing experience. It was my honor to be witness to and capture the birth of a Mr. Wellington Rupp. His parents are good friends of mine asked me to be their birth photographer, and was honestly a little scared. It was my first birth experience with camera in hand. I mean it was nothing short of amazing. The ladies at the Bella Vie Birth Center were wonderful, the whole room was so full of love. And to be there, the moment a little person came into the world, to capture it with my camera. Really, I have the best job in the world.
Here is a slideshow of some additional images. Clearly some shots will only be seen by Brian & Leah, but I wanted to show you all and give you some of the experience. 🙂
Bryan & Leah thank you so much for letting me be share in the birth of your child. It was an experience I will never forget. I love you too, and can not wait to see little W grow up, you two are amazing parents already.
I am so excited to offer this to other clients as well. I am completely hooked! Anyone thinking of birth photography please contact me, I would love to talk to you more about it.
