Thinking about this lovely family and their excite

Thinking about this lovely family and their excitement as they count the days before meeting their newest love of their lives.
I know the last few days of being pregnant can be exhilaratingly exhausting; but what an opportunity to slow down and notice the beauty of change!
If you could assign a color to the last days of your pregnancy what would it be?
What about the sound? And the smell?

Coming home from the hospital with a new baby is s

Coming home from the hospital with a new baby is such a transitional moment.
As much as I don't consider hospitals my favorite places, there is always someone around if you need them.
But leaving the hospital is realizing that despite the monumental change your body and soul went through, the world has not stopped.
Streets and trees and the LA traffic might seem different.
Did we miss an entire season in the last few days? Is it always so sunny at this time of day?
Tears stream down, unstoppable. No reason one can think of. It must be the post partum hormones.
Coming home, we might find banners hanging from the front door. Balloons. Flowers with new buds. A whole cheering committee and little hands that have grown while we were gone.
Will everyone love the new baby?
And then with even more tears in our eyes we give ourselves permission to trust. Trust in our family, our children and the process of transformation that comes with every birth.
Most importantly we trust our heart and our power as parents to expand ourselves beyond any barrier and obstacle that may keep us from mothering our children with unconditional love.

I always ask my homebirth clients if they have any

I always ask my homebirth clients if they have any attachment to birthing their babies in water.
For some, water is one of the many tools they turn to find relief during the surges of labor; for others, it is the preferred element they wish to greet their babies and also the final destination of their own labor journey.
When it is not possible to birth in water, for one reason or another, I suggest that mom and baby regroup in the fresh water of a their own bath tub during a newborn session.
There is no resistance in water, but warmth, peace, connection and beauty.

“A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.” – Lucy Larcom

How appropriate that this little ray of light was

How appropriate that this little ray of light was born on #birthphotographyday?!
Happy second solar return sweet one!

As birth photographers, we often hang in the quiet part of the birth scene.
Our eye is alert even when it is time to rest.
We see beauty even in the sweat, tears and chaos.
We treasure every moment of birth. Its sacredness and the profound feeling of partaking to a miracle.

The sound that can hearten up the deepest darkness

The sound that can hearten up the deepest darkness and warm up even the most sterile of rooms.
Welcome sweet Phoenix!
I am so humbled by the light that shines through you. ☀️
