Birth... a week in images (Day Three)

Day Three:

“For each of us as women, there is a deep place within, where hidden and growing our true spirit rises…Within these deep places, each one holds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotion and feeling. The woman’s place of power within each of us…it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep.” –Audre Lorde

Baby D is born: Memorial Hospital Birth Photography

I had the honor of being the doula for this lovely family, and photographing baby D's first moment in his mother's arms. This amazing momma is also a photographer, and making images of her son's birth that I know will be treasured gave me great joy! Happy birthday baby D...

It's been a busy few weeks for Agroterra Birth! I was lucky enough over the past month, to photograph two births, a blessingway, and beautiful expectant family. I also attended the first birthdays of two beautiful babies born to previous doula clients. Every day I feel blessed to make the work that I do.

I am always amazed by the brilliance, courage and adventurousness of women as they accept the challenges of pregnancy and birth. This applies also to their willingness for a romp in the snowy woods with me!

I feel so grateful to all the families who have included me in their journeys- to you all out there, you know who you are... I send love and thanks for the start of the most amazing year yet!
