Twin Cities Birth Photographer - Birth Empowerment

My newly-made friend Elisa just wrote a very empowering post, regarding her recent birth.  It was very challenging to me, especially as I contemplate future births of my own... :-)

Read her post here: Welcome, Baby Noah!

I met Elisa for the first time at her birth. It was a last minute decision, so there was no meeting before the birth, or way for Elisa to really connect with me or "ease into" the idea, before I attended her birth.  Normally a birth session would be proceeded with *at least* a phone call!  But her midwife told her about me and arranged everything on-the-fly.  Elisa just really wanted those pictures!

Everything went great.   Thankfully we did connect - really well!   And I was so honored and blessed to be able to be there, to be a part of such a special and powerful event in her and her family's life.

Twin Cities Birth Photographer * Nathaniel James: A Birth Story

This little guy was born about a month ago now. It was such a blessing to be a part of this couple's birth experience (it was the best "birth party" I've ever been to!), and to be able to photograph Nathaniel's first moments in this world. I will never forget his parents happily singing a Veggie Tales song, as they sat in the birth pool, working through the contractions. It was a difficult birth, but the outcome was truly amazing!
