Photo Birth Story

I wanted to document the process the best I could while still supporting Dana. Thanks to Dana's determination and preparedness I was able to shoot a lot!

It was so great to witness the birth of our son and see Dana execute her birth plan to perfection. Here are a few photos documenting the progression.

One of my favorites of the day. Dana was so strong and so in control.

Eva and Micah with looks of anticipation. They so badly wanted to hold little Joshua.
