Ashleigh and Pat invited me to photograph and document the arrival of Sawyer. I arrived at the hospital to find Ashleigh working through each contraction with great focus and support. Pat her husband, Michelle their doula and Midwife Susie all supporting Ashleigh in her quest to have a great birth, which I think she did. She has let me share with you her birth story, so you can see what having a birth photographer is all about. The movie lasts just over 8 minutes, so get comfortable. Turn up your sound to enhance your experience. Enjoy! Thank you Pat and Ashleigh for letting me join you on this amazing day! If you would like more information or are interested in having a birth photographer please contact moraghastings@gmail.com.
