I recently came across a photographer's blog post:
Welcoming Jakob Asher: Here Comes the Son!
It's an amazing photographic depiction of a home water birth. The mother is a doula, and she was able to have a pain -free birth at home with no medical interventions.
Please take a look.
I SO wish I could have had her at my birth. I absolutely hate my birth pictures. I can't share them with anyone...the midwife's assistant took them from only one angle...and we know which angle that was! I just feel like crying every time I think about it.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. We didn't get any photos taken until after Liam was born, and those were amateur snapshots. I'm pretty private about photos, so I wouldn't be posting them online but it would have been really nice to have them for myself.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and just had to share photos of my fourth child's birth. It was so, so sweet and while I went back and forth whether or not to hire a professional photographer, I am SO, SO glad I did!

Thank you so much! I'll put up a blog post with that link soon. Did you birth your other babies at home as well? Now I'm wishing I'd had a skilled photographer at my home birth.
