“This is the VBAC of a beautiful little girl. Mama’s first birth was 38 hours long and ended in a c-section because after pushing for 2 hours, they told her the baby wouldn’t fit.
This little VBAC baby was born after a total 3 hour labor, with only 30 minutes of pushing. (Her water broke at 6:30am, labor started right after that, baby was born at 9:30am) I was her birth photographer, and her birth went so fast I walked in 4 minutes before baby was born, and I was able to catch these beautiful shots of baby girl being lifted out of the water by her mama. ~Melissa Cate Photography

I love these photos, bringing the baby up put of the water makes it feel like its officially being born into the world. Wonderful captures.
