AMAZING

I was so honored when asked to photograph this birth. It was the first birth I had ever witnessed, and it was an awesome, moving experience. I was quite nervous about it. I wanted to capture the rawness of it...the pure emotion, the anxiousness, the rush and chaos, the instant love that emerges. I wanted all the journalistic details, ones that would evoke those same emotions each time they looked at them. I wanted...not to disappoint. This, after all, is about the parents, the family. I was there to tell their story through my eyes. I hoped to write that story with...light.
