I was going through my archives to find you a birth picture to celebrate hitting 6,000 likes, which I hope will be very soon.

I came across this image from my first water birth and home birth, as a photographer, and my second birth I photographed as a birth photographer.

I love the truth and magic of it.

Thank you to all the families who have invited me into their births. You are all my family and precious to me. <3 <3 <3

Florence has been in the hospital for three weeks now, she loves children/babies and hasn't got to see any for three long weeks. This morning her mama posted this:

"If you want to send a little video of your child(ren) saying hello to Flo, saying prayers before bed for "baby Flo" or whatever madness kids do with an iPhone in their face."

Feel free to go to her page, Michaela Evanow: a story, to send her a link to your video or you can post a link here and I will pass it on to her family.

I photographed Florences birth just over a year ago. This family is very close to my heart. Big love Florence and family I hope you get some sweet messages<3

The mystery behind the curtain... the moment your baby touches air, your baby is born. No matter how your baby meets the world, s(he) is always born from your body. It should always be celebrated... because it is soooo amazing!

I am not always allowed into the operating room, but when I am I always feel so blessed that I get to give my clients the story of their baby's birth. My heart is filled with gratitude for the doctors and staff that understand how healing these images can be for our families.

<3 Big love to my clients for letting me share this with you. <3
