2015 was a year filled with lots blessings. Many families invited me into their birth space to photograph new life. What a joy it is to be a birth photographer! I spent the year in hospitals, birthing centers and home-births documenting raw joy. I saw women overcome their fears and push their bodies to limits they didn’t think were possible. Dads who stood by in great support, coaching moms along the process. Siblings who witnessed the birth of their newest family member.
Birth is a beautiful moment. In the thrusts of pain, beauty is brought forth in the purest form of new little life. Sharing some of my most favorite moments from the year below..
