Photographing the Moments

This session was an honor – to photograph a wonderful mother go through labor and delivery with her family was unlike anything I’ve experienced.  I love the story that these images tell about the progress of labor and the close connections that this family has.  It was amazing to watch the midwives be present without interfering, and then move closer and closer as the mother needed them.  I couldn’t help but think about my own delivery experiences and how they were so different and yet similar.

Many of the images were of course very private, but these less-private ones tell a good share of the story…
