So many little ones lately I haven’t had a chance to blog.  Here’s Hailey…and I think it’s time to update the newborn gallery with some of the gorgeous little people I’ve been honoured to meet and photograph in the last few weeks.

the day river was born. in my life

Two years ago I had the amazing opportunity of being present while my own daughter gave birth to her son.  I’m proud to have been able to experience this and to be able to share work that is so personal and meaningful to me and to my daughter. The images in this video are emotional and raw (but I think, tasteful) but if you are nervous around the idea of birth then you may want to skip this video.

Because of you. Chilliwack newborn and birth photography

When the phone call came at four in the morning I knew it would be Roxanna calling to let me know that the labour had started.  Roxanna and I had talked about photographing the birth of her third baby J.  Here are some photos from J’s newborn session a few days later and a slideshow of her labour and J’s home birth. (Click Play here to see it)

There is so much to say.  I could say what a miracle it was to see this sweet life enter the world, or how I admire the strength and grace with which Roxanna (and mothers everywhere for that matter) laboured and gave birth, or how the love and joy in this little family as they welcomed J made it hard for me to keep back tears. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and I hope you enjoy and are inspired by these images as much as I am.

 

If you are interested in other births I’ve photographed click here and here.  The images in this video are emotional and real (but I think, tasteful) but if you are nervous around the idea of birth then you may want to skip this video.  You can visit Roxanna’s photography website here.

These photos and the video were featured on Inspire Me Baby (A Blog with Inspiration for Baby Photographers)

Jacqueline Quiring - Aw, Elizabeth, these are beautiful! It was difficult for me to keep back the tears, too! I went to kindergarten with Roxanna and now she has a family full of beautiful boys :) Love this all!

Michelle horsman - So beautiful! Such a cute family.

luchia feman - Elizabeth, these videos are your gift. I start crying the minute they start. They depict the family love and the wonder of love in such an awe inspiring way.
