A Birth





My good friend Autumn graciously invited me to the home birth of her third child. I feel immensely privileged to have been able to witness the live birth of a child. Autumn has always had natural labor (what a solid choice!) but this was her first water birth. The lights were low in the house and I was shaking in my boots and crying my eyes out, but I managed to get a few shots in. Didn't bring the tripod, and I figured flash would disturb the baby so please excuse the soft handheld look- hey I like it better that way anyhow, more ethereal- like the experience.
