Two Become Four

{birth story}

This birth was quite special. It was the last birth I documented in 2016. It was the 30th birth that I had documented. And it was the first time I was documenting the birth of twins! Identical twin girls! TWO tiny little squishy babies for me to photograph. It was really adorable and so miraculous!

As always, here's a handful of my favourite images from the big day, and at the bottom of the post you can watch the full 6 minute birth story, which of course is a tearjerker!

Hello Gabriela

{birth story}

This birth was BEAUTIFUL! This lovely couple have a crystal clear connection that you can really feel through these pictures. This mama was fierce and strong and so sure of herself and her baby. She really rocked and owned her birth. I am quiet as a mouse when I am documenting a birth (unless it's a chatty kind of event) but I had a hard time keeping quiet at times because I just wanted to scream out my cheers of encouragement as she overcame hurdles because I knew she knew she could do it and sometimes you have very little time left before the midwives and doctors need to make the call. But she knew, and she did it! It was a really powerful birth! You can watch the whole video at the end of this post. Beware, it's a real tear jerker!
