Birth is one of the most empowering events of a woman’s life. When I look back on my birth images I feel like superwoman… I pushed LIFE into this world!!! It was the hardest, most rewarding thing of my life.
I have rarely shared images of the actual moment of birth to protect my client’s privacy, however I have received permission to post these incredible images of these little super-humans when they were only half earth-side. Don’t be scared to be amazed by these images! This is human life before it has taken it’s first breath. Suspended between 2 worlds, life is waiting for that final push to be born.
This post may not be for everyone… but as a birth photographer I always share the beautiful strong labouring woman and the shots afterwards of mama cuddling her squishy new baby, so I also want to show you how miraculous and beautiful the moment their child enters the world can also be. Celebrate how amazing life is and enjoy these images of the actual MOMENT OF BIRTH!

Many women birth on toilets. It’s where they feel the most natural urge to push. This is a rare photo of a posterior baby born facing it’s mama.
