To be completely honest. I have wanted to start doing birth stories for awhile now, but they always scared me a little bit. All the unknown's and being a part of something so intimate and life changing for a couple always made me a little nervous. So when my sister showed interest in having me photograph the birth of my little nephew I hopped on bored, it's not so scary when you are related to the person.
The night came, and she called me telling me I better run and grab my camera and meet them at the hospital, because the baby was definitely coming....and fast. I luckily got there with plenty of time.. plenty of time to take it all in, but nothing was going to prepare me for the emotions this shoot brought out in me. I am so so grateful for the experience I got to share with my sister and her husband photographing the birth of their first son. It was beyond words. And I bawled like a baby. It was so incredibly magical, it gives me the chills just thinking about it. And I know they are going to cherish these photo's forever.
If you are going to be having a baby soon or know someone who is, please contact me or seriously any other birth photographer in Utah (that's how important I think this is!) Let someone else be there in the background to capture all the little moments that you won't ever want to forget.
Trust me, you will not regret it.
I also just want to thank my sister for letting me share this very personal shoot with the world.
I love you and your little family to pieces!
LOVE!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful thing to share! It brought back all the emotions I felt when I was having my babies. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is very sweet! Experiencing a baby coming into the world is one of the most amazing things and these photos capture that. You are so talented.
