Welcoming Baby Stephen: Norfolk/Virginia Beach Virginia Birth and Newborn Photographer

Birth photography is a fairly new style of photography and really has taken off in the last couple of years. Birth photography is a beautiful way to capture all the important moments during and after a child’s birth that a mother never wants to forget (well…sometimes a woman would like to forgot some of the birthing process). Hiring a professional photographer allows the husband to remain in the moment and supportive of a birthing mother’s needs. Some of my favorite portraits during a birth include the mother squeezing the father’s hand and the father’s joyous reaction when the baby finally arrives!!

I am often hired for a birth photography session because the father is in the military and deployed overseas. He is fighting for his country, his friends and most importantly for his children. This birth story is an example of a strong, loving military wife delivering her third child/ first son into the world. When my friend Michelle asked me to photograph her birth, I was excited and honored. I got to be a part of such a momentous moment in my friend’s life but I also got to experience a miracle!!  I had the privilege of witnessing a life being brought into the world. I had the honor of capturing those moments and sharing the story with the deployed father.  I have to tell you there is no greater feeling. As a photographer I use my camera to tell stories and there is no greater story to tell then the birth of a baby!!
