“I wanted to share this series of images with you for several reasons. This was my first experience with any birth outside of a “typical” hospital setting. I must admit that I was terribly nervous about it! Not only was it an at home water birth, but it was only my 3rd birth to photograph. I thought I was more…

Showing Love and Support to All
I once shared this picture with a great response (and I adore it). I have blogged about supporting all women in their birthing choices and emowering births, no matter what that means to them.

Newborn Photography; Red
I don’t even remember how I came across Wild Spirit as they don’t just do newborn/maternity photography. But I’m so glad I did. I started featuring their pics on the BWF FB page. I just love her style. Like this one. “THIS gorgeous little chub….baby number 5 for his family…and the first boy!” ~Wild Spirit

Breastfeeding at 12,500 Feet!
Kiersten sent in this badass breastfeeding picture of her friend nursing her 2 month old at over 12,000 feet! She says, “He was born at home at 7,500 feet (we live in Colorado). A lot of the passes here to get anywhere are over 10,000 feet, so it only seems to affect people coming from sea level.” Baby is well…

Mothering the Mother: 40 Days of Rest
“The role of the midwife is to be mother to the mother.” (Unknown) We’ve all heard that ‘all that matters is a healthy baby’. We hear it before we give birth, and we hear it after. We hear it when a mother’s had a cesarean and a subsequent infection, when she has Post-Partum Depression and when she is reeling from…
