Birth is the radical awakening into a world of new experiences. It is the beginning of countless emotions, sensations & growth for parents and children. It is an explosion of greetings and love. It is gentle, elating, exciting and new. Joyful birth photography captures these moments for you. I love photographing births because the true raw humanity shines through effortlessly in all who are present. Regardless of their knowledge of the presence of the lens, the new parents always forget they are being photographed as they become so engrossed in the unfolding and fall in love with their new baby. No other area of photography allows the purity of the human spirit to shine through the way birth photography does.
