The Hospital Birth Story of Warner

I met Miranda at a park. I was there with a group of my friends, and she was there with a group of hers. The children had all kind of mingled at the beach volleyball court and the two of us began talking. We became fast friends and about a year later, she told me that she was pregnant with her second child and wanted me to be her doula and birth photographer. I was overjoyed. I knew that her journey to pregnancy hadn't been easy, and that her first birth experience wasn't what she had wanted it to be. I was determined to help her to have a different experience this time.

The Birthing Center Birth of Eko

I arrived at the birthing center at about 2:30PM. Kelli was in early labor, meeting each wave with calming, deep breaths, and smiling between waves. Leera was right by her side, along with her mother. There was rap music playing and the lights were dimmed low.

BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY | THE HOME WATER BIRTH OF LUCA

It was two days before our move from Utah to Arizona. I had prayed and crossed my fingers that Jordan would go into labor, but it didn't look like it was going to happen. My backup photographers were in place for after I was gone and it broke my heart to give my mothers to them. I was especially sad to let go of this mother because she was a home-birth mama, and there is something really incredible about births like that. I was sorry I wouldn't get to be a part of it... until I got the call!
