Here’s a little something new for you! I had the honor of photographing an all natural Waterbirth during Christmas week. My friend Dayna Dyle texted me that morning and asked if I was interested in helping document the birth of her friend’s baby at Touro. Dayna knew that Waterbirth is something that I’ve always been amazed by since finding out I was pregnant. Well even before I was pregnant, I always chatted with my friends about how this is something I am interested in. I understand the amount of dedication and strength it requires to have a natural birth, but it fascinates me. Lately I’ve been reading Hypnobirthing books and watching birth documentaries such as “Business of Being Born” & “Pregnant in America.” I highly recommend watching these if you are prego!
It was a wonderful day, I was at the hospital from about 11:30am til 8:30pm. The room was filled with meditation music and the occasional moans of Amy laboring. What a strong woman!! I could go on and on about how incredible it was to witness this birth, but I hope that my photos will show you a little glimpse at the day. Welcome to the world, Louis! You are just too precious!
Here are some favs from the day. Thank you Carl and Amy for allowing me to post a few from the birth :) If any of you are interested in having me photograph your birth, please email me. This is something I am thinking about offering now.
