The Birth of Baby Z {Palos Verdes Estates Birth Photographer}

This birth was absolutely amazing. AMAZING. I'm always excited to document a home birth (there is nothing like a woman giving birth naturally to really make you feel empowered) but this one was an experience I will never forget. It was by far the highest attendance I've ever seen at a birth, I believe I counted 19, which made for a really great birth team and quite the celebration! Baby Z's momma but it best... "It was truly a "birthday party," a special way to celebrate our last baby's birth. I feel like the modern city girl who got to travel back in time & to a place that was like a sacred circle, like giving birth in a hut with my tribe around me."

I was also excited to finally get to work with Jodie Myers, a local birth video artist who I've always admired. The amazing mid-wife was Sue Wolcott of Home Water Birth.

The Birth of Baby Rylan {Los Angeles Birth Photographer}

I had the privilege of documenting baby Rylan's entrance to the world last month with the team of midwives at UCLA and the amazing Margie Levy of Supportive Doula Services. Rylan's momma was such a rock star during the entire labor, it was yet another powerful and incredibly emotional experience and I'm so fortunate that they invited me to document it for them. Congratulations again on a beautiful baby boy, I can't wait to see him again soon!

The Birth of Austin Phineas aka "Finn" {Los Angeles Birth Photography}

Last week I photographed the birth of little Finn at Glendale Adventist Hospital and it was yet another reminder of how much I love my "job". This couple's display of emotion on this very special day was so contagious and I was once again reminded how lucky I am to both witness this miracle and capture it. I had a really difficult time picking just a few of my favorite images to share so there are a bit more than usual. Here are a few of my favorite photographs of Finn's birth and the following day when I went back to visit them. Enjoy :)

Welcoming Larisa { Los Angeles Birth Photography }

I had the privilege of photographing Larisa's birth this past week at Glendale Memorial Hospital surrounded by her loving parents and dedicated new aunties. There was so much love in the room and her family was VERY excited to finally meet their princess Larisa. Here are a few of my favorite photos from Larissa's birthday...
