I loved this birth session. This was my very first birth session involving a Cesarean section. For those who are not aware, photographers can't go back to the operating room. I hope this changes in the future because those first few seconds of life are not documented as in a vaginal birth. I have seen some amazing images of birth from the operating room and maybe one day that opportunity will be given here. For now, however, it is not an option but I can honestly say the results of this session were not lacking in any way. 
 

     We were still able to capture so many  "firsts". Those precious moments were a momma holds her baby for the very first time. The moments where mommy and daddy hold their new little one together, checking out all the tiny details. Images of those tiny details and moments where siblings meet.  There were so many priceless images captured that brought tears to my eyes.
 

     Thank you sweet friend for allowing me to be there and experience such precious moments. I loved every bit of it. You did amazing and were so strong. It was inspiring to see all the support and encouragement you had around you as well. What a "party" :) Thanks for allowing me to share your experience here with others. I want all those families who give birth, regardless of the method, to realize that each birth experience is unique, and should be captured on camera in a way that can be treasured privately or shared with the world if desired. Great job friend, real talk lol...and congratulations to you and your family! Maggie is beautiful and perfect in every way.
