I’ve had the honor of shooting multiple births. Each one is so different. It’s fascinating seeing how different each birth and how the mom labors. Hospital and home births are also very different. I don’t prefer one over the other, I have things I like about hospital births and things I like about home births. This birth was fast. Thankfully the midwife, our friend Amy and myself all live 5 minutes from Zack and Hannah. We all arrived within minutes of each other and Oak was born 15 minutes later. Hannah was the calmest woman I’ve ever seen in labor. Seriously…the calmest and quietest especially for someone birthing completely natural. Sparrow slept through the entire labor and delivery, and these photos start from when we brought her into the room to meet Oak. The last few photos are from our family session a week later.
