Birth.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

“There is power that comes to women when they give birth.
They don’t ask for it, it simply invades them.
Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it.”
Sheryl Feldman

 

The story of the birth of Emma Rose … what a complete and incredible honor to be present for this event. It was the most calm, relaxed birth – Holly did so well and was patient. I’ve never seen a more beautiful labouring mother. Well done, Holly … and Gabe too, although truly the spotlight goes to the momma. 🙂

Baby Emma is just splendid. And will be with me in the studio tomorrow – Lucky me! 😀

 

Photos of their home birth … a water birth … an amazing birth … a beautiful story of adding to their sweet family …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{truly the most beautiful family moment ever as their three year old son woke up just in time to meet his new baby sister … they spent many moments cuddled on the couch together just minutes after the birth …}

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to this great, big beautiful world, Emma Rose.

This is already a better place because of your new life. xo
