Since we’ve been sharing about births I wanted to share a once in a lifetime opportunity I got to witness last year 🩶
Last November I had the extreme pleasure of capturing my dear friend and neighbor Brittany Nicole Torres home birth & to say it was surreal would be the understatement of my whole career thus far. Worship music playing in the background, words of encouragement and support being spoken over mom, and truly just being in the moment. It was truly captivating and I feel like you can see that in these photos. What made this even more special, was this was baby #3, gender was completely unknown until after birth & dad got to be the one to share. Big brother was home the whole time completely unbothered, and big sister arrived shortly after to meet her newest “baby”. Mom got to enjoy a shower shortly after delivery and a warm meal in the comfort of her bed. It was truly magical. Not to mention, incredibly empowering. The woman’s body is absolutely incredible. & though I can admit it’s probably not a route I would ever take myself, man what an absolutely incredible incredible thing it was to get to witness first hand and to capture through my lens.
Due to the sheer unpredictability of births, especially home births I don’t know that I will ever get this opportunity ever again but I’m so so so glad I was able to witness it at least once 🥹 & for a family that is so special and near and dear to me, I’ll forever hold this close to my heart 🫶🏼
