What a delight to see him again and meet his darling little family.
We met where they got married, indeed a special place for both of them, the Golden Gardens Bathhouse. This time they were with their little boy. And, the three of them couldn’t have smiled bigger this day.
Gosh, what a surprise. I didn’t think my week could get any better, but seeing this today brought me a huge smile.
Wyatt & Smith’s birth, if you remember, touched a lot of people. And, it happened to touch the ladies over at On to Baby, a charming style blog for everything baby. Their blog is beautiful, filled with amazing content – charming ideas for showers & parties, nursery design, and DIY projects. They aspire to give fresh ideas to their readers, as they prepare to celebrate their newest arrival. And, I couldn’t be more touched that they wanted to include me.
Here are some of my favorite images that were featured in the article. Click here to view the entire post on their blog.
And, another big thank you for sharing their beautiful story. I’m absolutely honored, and floored you shared my work! xoxo
I was working on this birth story today, (as I needed to finalize some edits so it could be added to my website). It’s a bit different than before….some images I added because I just love them so much more looking back on them again.
But, it got me thinking about childbirth. About all the opinions people have about how a birth should operate. Being a birth photographer, I constantly find myself researching this topic. I’ve witnessed and documented many births, read a list full of books and stories, watched documentaries, shared many conversations about childbirth. There are certainly many ways of giving birth – in a hospital, a birth center, or at home, or medicated, by cesarean, the list goes on. But, all I know is that however a child is birthed into this world, it’s so beautiful. So, incredibly sacred and wildly magical. And intimate, perfect, emotional, and beyond the most special gift. And, I know that women should feel empowered by carrying life into this world.
The very beginning of our lives, from our first moments, should be celebrated. Forever.
This is the birth story of Elis, once again. One of the most emotional births I’ve photographed to date.
Their little boy has already given them such wonder, and joy. The sweetest expressions I saw during my time with them, the anticipation of his arrival spoke volumes on their faces.
What true beauty pregnancy brings. I cannot wait to meet this child.
