While every birth I doula-ed involved me being handed a camera, I really wanted the chance to focus sometime on JUST photographing the birth, and Kelley and Jeremy were kind enough to give me that chance. I met Kelley through another community activity but they attended the childbirth class I help teach, after which I asked them if I could be a silent observer for their birth to get some photo practice. (I admit it - I ended up being not silent at their birth, but I think they forgave me for my little insertions and cheers!) 🙂 You can read their story and see some of the photos from one of the first births I photographed here.
