Labor of Love Birth Photography

01/28/2016

So, it has been a LONG time since I posted anything! Busy being a mom of two now, but also I wasn't feeling ready to share the photos from my birth. I am ready to share some now. :) Here are some of the beautiful photos Chrystal Cienfuegos {photography} captured from our birth. My sweet baby boy had shoulder dystocia and the birth itself was intense and very personal, so I'm not sharing photos of those moments. All is well now and he is a happy, healthy six month old. :)

Here it is! The Birth of Owen. My last birth before the birth of my own second baby. :) I hope you love it! Thank you to the sweet mama for your permission to share. Best viewed in full screen and HD.

Some photos from the last birth I documented... and my last birth before my own! I was primarily hired to film this one, but was able to get these as well. It was a LONG, hard labor but mama was so strong and worked tirelessly to birth her beautiful baby boy. Enjoy! And look for the film in a couple weeks...

I am so excited to share my latest birth film with you. This was a gorgeous daytime home waterbirth, and the family was so lovely and so sweet. I am super grateful they allowed me to share their birth with you :) I recommend expanding it to full screen, and watching it in HD. Enjoy the Birth of Halle!

I'm doing a booth at Babies in Bloom BabyFest again on March 22nd in Oceanside! I have lots of tickets to give away, starting now. I will randomly select one comment/answer on Monday night, March 2nd to receive 2 tickets. So, my question is - how many weeks pregnant are you? Or, how old is your little one? :)

Sorry I have been absent for a couple of months! We are expecting our second child in July/August and I have had a quite a time with morning sickness. Fortunately I took November and December off, but I did photograph a lovely birth center birth this month. Sneak peeks coming soon! :)

Clients now have a choice between a DVD + custom photo case or these new engraved bamboo flash drives with box. I love them both. Which would you choose?

This little man came fast and furious - less than 3 hours from active labor to baby. Mom was INCREDIBLE. So much strength and power. Dad caught the baby. Truly an awesome birth. Thank you clients for your permission to share! Feel free to tag and/or share.

Incredible birth. This first time mama was powerful and just totally rocked it. So in love with so many of these images! Thank you to my clients for allowing me to share.
