I feel greatly honored to capture some really important times in my clients lives. Some times those moments are weddings, some times special family days. Sometimes those moments are silly, funny, and low key. Sometimes those moments are breathtakingly world changing. Each moment is important, but really important moments like the birth of a child take my breath away.

Recently I was asked to photograph a birth. It was a great privilege to capture these special moments, and witness sweet Wally coming into the world. From the first moments the team of mid-wives swept into the house to set it all up, to the appearance of his sweet face, to the last glow of family cuddles it was all amazing to witness. Here is a slideshow of the cold winter night Wally decided to join this beloved family.

I only take on a small number of births a year, but the times I do I am always left in wonder and awe. I am excited to add a few more this winter and spring if anyone is considering birth photography. Contact me via phone or email and we can talk about how birth photography might be for your family.
