Inside the Operating Room | Vancouver Doula and Birth Photographer

January 5, 2013 in BC Woman's Hospital, Birth Photography, Doctor, Doula, Hospital, Maternity, Maternity Photography, Newborn, Newborn Photography, Photographer, Photography, Uncategorized, Vancouver

After hours and days of labour, it became evident that my clients would be bringing their baby into the world with a caesarean birth. I was blessed with being invited into the operating room, to document their baby’s arrival. And lucky for them, the doctor who brought their baby into the world did it with so much love, you could see him smiling behind his mask during the entire delivery. It was really a magical birth and I was so blessed to be part of it. Here is the moment they got to see their baby, we had to move the cord so they could discover if it was a boy or a girl. Not to mention they did delayed cord clamping!

Beautifully Pregnant | Maternity Photography Vancouver, BC

August 3, 2011 in Baby, BC Woman's Hospital, Birth, Children, Doula, Family, Maternity, Maternity Photography, Midwife, Motherhood, Photographer, Photography, Uncategorized, Vancouver

My favorite part of photographing pregnant women is how the mother responds to her photo’s.  Often women respond with “Wow I am so beautiful” or ” I look gorgeous pregnant.” It is true, pregnant women are gorgeous and full and beautiful. The human body is so amazing expanding to grow and house a baby for over 9 months. I feel so honoured to be able to capture and share this beauty. Here is a preview of this weekend photo shoot with another beautiful pregnant woman.
