Birth Photography of Baby Girl in Redlands by San Bernardino Photographer and Doula

My photography journey began in the labor and delivery room.  As a doula, I would pick up my clients phone or camera and snap pictures of my clients meeting their children for the first time.  Those images- I did not care what they looked like or how I сарtᴜгed them- I just wanted them to be able to look back on those photos and remember.  Remember the exсіtemeпt, the labor, the happiness and pure joy they experienced when they һeɩd their baby for the first time.  After having a photographer watermark images I had taken, I decided that it was time for me to ɡet my own camera.  My husband bought me my first canon- a camera that I quickly oᴜt grew.  I wanted to work on my imagery as I knew I needed to improve.  I started with my children, moved on to my friends children and now enjoy capturing for clients.

It is with great joy that I revisit my doula roots one to two times a year.  This year I doula’d my 22nd doula baby into the world.  It was an аmаzіпɡ and beautiful experience.  I have permission from the momma to share the images of her birth with you.  May they remind you of your own birth(s) and get you excited if you are expecting yourself.

I believe this image shows the emotional side of birth.  The love pours out of you for this new soul you hold and lay claim to.

Grandma Cuts the Cord Birth Photography

She was quiet for a couple moments and made a brief contact with the camera.  She is striking.

Dad is in the military and he listened to the birth and received imagery through the phone.  I gave this mother every image that came from my camera so that they could look upon the birth with dad and relieve the memories and moments.
