Baby Alexandra.. Baltimore MD Birth Photography
Posted on March 15, 2011
Robin is a very good friend and wanted to have me come and do a birth essay for them. She had to have a scheduled c-section, but we knew there would be plenty to photograph for her to forever remember. Often when people hear birth photography, they think of the actual moment of birth… and really.. who wants pictures of that!?! But for me and the mothers who choose to have me photograph for them, its about the hours before, the moments after, everything going on around. Its not really about one single image, its the collection of images together that really tell the story. And Monday it was no different. We arrived at the hospital at 5:00am , and I left around 2:30pm. I took about 500 images during that time (thank goodness for digital cameras!) and will narrow it down to around 200-300 for her slideshow. I briefly worked on a few today so that she can have some right away to share with family and friends on the internet. This baby was born at GBMC right in the heart of Baltimore MD. It was a glorious hospital, so very beautiful in every detail. They allowed me to come into the operating room with mom & dad which is a rare experience. I was honored to be able to document such a treasured time. Everything is a blur to them at this point from all the excitement, stress and exhaustion .. So I am excited to share these pictures with them! Here she is, Miss Alexandra .. 8lbs 7 oz.
