there is something so incredibly spiritual about witnessing birth. i was welcomed into chloe’s birth space to photograph & serve as a support person for her induction on a saturday evening. chloe & jonny–past wedding clients turned friends–were so excited to meet their baby boy, avery. so special to have been their for the beginning of their marriage; and now, to be there for them again as they begin their journey as parents.

some of my favorite moments:

jonny doing counter pressure // the two of them talking in between her waves // chloe holding hands with her mom // close up of chloe & jonny right before she was going to start pushing // jonny’s face as avery emerged into this world // tears on chloe’s cheeks // & the smile of relief and triumph as she held her baby
