Josephine Joy – San Francisco Bay Area Birth Photographer

Posted on August 28, 2009

On Tuesday, August 25th 2009 I was honored to witness the birth of Josephine Joy. After a long day of irregular contractions, a quick visit with an acupuncturist finally set things in motion. 5 hours later and after only 6 minutes of pushing, Josephine Joy made her debut.

I am so honored that Katie and Jason allowed me and wanted me to be a part of their birth team. Katie and I had talked in the past about birth expectations and she worried that having friends there might break her focus or cause her to be self conscious. So when she asked me to photograph the birth I was happily surprised. I was also happily surprised to learn that our good friend Teri would be on hand as her doula.

Here are a few teaser shots. I should have the slideshow up in a couple of days.
