Honored

I've only ever witnessed two births, and those were my kids. I am not a squeamish person, I just never thought I'd feel comfortable in the delivery room with someone else. I didn't even let me own mother in the delivery room with me because I'm such a private person. (She brings that up constantly too...never going to let me forget it)

I'd seen and admired several great birth photography sessions, and loved the life that just pours out of a session like that. Capturing the first moments of a baby's life, the looks on the parents' faces...wow. Makes me all teary even if I don't know them from a hole in the ground. So I asked (pretty much begged) my life-long best pal Jen to let me photograph the birth of her second son. She very graciously agreed to let me do it.

It was an honor to be there with her family as she stayed strong, pushing her sweet son into the world. I'm so proud of her. And so excited to see this baby grow up.
