It's been one year since I was invited to experience one of the rarest and most sacred days of my life - capturing Mabel's birth. What was supposed to be me taking maternity photos turned into 12 hours of capturing Signe's labor, Mabel's birth, and her first hours in the world, earlier than anticipated. Birth photography was never in my career plans, but when Kevin and Signe invited me to document their daughter's birth I dropped everything to be there. It was beautiful, scary, and emotional. Witnessing the love between Kevin and Signe, Signe and her mom, and all of them for Mabel stands out as one of the most special experiences of my life. Thank you Signe and Kevin for inviting me to be a part of something so sacred and for allowing me to share it now. Happy 1st birthday Mabel! ❣️
P.S. shout-out to my summer of binge watching Call the Midwife while editing the year prior to this that I genuinely think helped me emotionally prepare for this experience
