FamiliesThe Birth of Baby Isabella – Slideshow
THE BIRTH OF ISABELLA CAN BE FOUND ON THE BIRTH SLIDE SHOW PAGE
I am so thankful that Evangelina has agreed to let me share the full slide show!
There are a few things that should be explained. There are some large chunks of time missing. This was a very very long labor (50 hours). There was a point during the process that the midwife decided it would be best for us all to leave (midwife, doula, photographer) so that we could all get some rest. I was gone for about 6 hours at that point.
In the end, after 4 hours of pushing it was clear that this baby needed help coming out and so E was transferred to her hospital. Unfortunately, when we arrived I was informed that it was hospital policy to not allow photography during the actual birth. I did not know how soon after the birth I would be allowed to photograph. Because of this I was not in a great position, nor did I have my light metered properly. One blurry, over exposed photo was all that I got of E seeing her baby for the first time. Lets just agree to call that one artsy ok?
This was such an amazing experience for me. Though it was a long, I am so pleased that this was my first birth shoot. A wonderful couple, unfathomable support system, getting to work with my friend Teri (the doula!). It was more than I could have ever dreamed of. and I can’t WAIT to do it again!
absolutely stunning. It made me cry…I wish that I had had something like this when I gave birth to Ryan. If we're ever blessed to have a 2nd child, it's something near the top of my list. Great job Kelly!
I have no words. Absolutely amazing story, amazing photographs. So incredibly beautiful.
That was just beautiful, Kelly!
