a birth story { Fredericksburg birth photographer }

I couldnt help myself but post a little sneak peek of the birth I was invited to witness and document.There is nothing more magical and beautiful than the birth of a baby and I really wished I had my childrens births captured like this.I was balling when little baby L was born and I still am when I look at all the pictures.Once I am done creating the story, there will be a new post. For now, enjoy the images I captured and I hope some of you will consider having your little miracle captured by me as well.
