As I was chatting with my good friend Megan one afternoon, she mentioned that she was thinking about having her third child at home.  I was a bit in shock since her other two were born in the hospital but I have always found it inspiring when women are brave enough to commit to something so unpredictable.  She asked if I would be willing to photograph her birth.  I’ll just say right up front, I am not a birth photographer.  However, the birth of my second daughter was photographed by my good friend and photographer Trudy and the album that came from that is one of my most treasured belongings.  So, I said I would love to.  Witnessing a new life coming into this world is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done.  Megan was so brave and confident and her husband Rick was just a rock for her.  I was in awe at how beautiful the whole experience was.   Thank you Megan and Rick for allowing me to document and be a part of something so sacred and special.  I’ll never forget it!

I just LOVE the photo below!

And not quite a week old, I went back for her newborn shoot.  She is just beautiful, isn’t she?
