I was so very surprised and honored when I was invited by the talented Miss Mariah to photograph the birth of their 3rd baby. If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting Mariah, you will immediately find that she is a calming presence...someone who appreciates the simple gifts in life, someone who is very grounded and very focused on her family. Evidently, she is just as calm while giving birth ;-).Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Watch the slideshow below and see how she trusts her body to work through the contractions and just look at how attentive her husband is (amazing to witness). Oh, and I love the look on her face when she finds out the gender (a surprise!)! But at the end...oh that beautiful baby and all of that HAIR!
[This birth took place at the Austin Area Birthing Center].
Thank you, Mariah, for inviting me to capture this day for you and for allowing me to share your beautiful birth experience with our readers.
