“Natural childbirth felt like fire. Literal fire in my nether regions. I honestly left my body for most of it. I felt like I was looking down on myself from above.” —Lori, 39

“All the things you think birth will feel like will be wrong. I read all the books and thought I was so prepared, but it was way different than what I expected. It was much easier than I expected in some ways, but also a lot harder in other ways (like delivering the placenta afterwards).” —Olivia, 26 [Source]

Why, you say, would you want to photograph this awesome, sometimes traumatic, event?

Because at the end of it all, when the pain is gone (and it does go), you are left with a beautiful little package all bundled up and ready for a snuggle and though it doesn’t seem it at the time, the moments leading up to the birth; the real, raw emotion, the ecstasy, and the pain all fade with time and you’ll never have them back again.

                 You only get one chance to catch these amazing, life-changing moments.

And it’s not just about the birth; it’s the day, the time before, if you have a partner there with you it’s getting their reactions and emotions as well. It’s all about capturing this moment in time forever, making it a truly memorable occasion. It’s so amazing to watch and even more amazing to be able to present to the new mum, photographs that tell the amazing story of the birth of her beautiful newborn child.
