Snippets from a homebirth
This was the stunning and perfectly peaceful scene when I walked in to photograph this homebirth. Seriously? So beautiful.
And the end result? Just as beautiful. Just as peaceful. All is right with the world. Congratulations again on your new arrival!
As I continue my proofing, I have to sit here in anxious anticipation, phone by my side, camera at the ready for the next baby to hatch. Who’s going to be first? All bets are off when it comes to predicting labors and the suspense is killing me. Here’s to many safe, quick, and [relatively] painless deliveries any day now!

So beautiful indeed! Amazing images. And that bathroom, oh, I could only dream! If I get my homebirth, I’m pretty sure the photos will have Legos and laundry piled in the background :D

I can’t take my eyes of them. I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than these…

Michelle – I don’t comment on your photos nearly enough but had to take a moment and tell you that these are absolutely wonderful. The emotion as well as the technical aspect – the use of the light, the angles, the way you make them amazing – I know it’s not easy to do this when we’re not outside and styling sessions to our goals – you still make it look easy! And the baby – just adorable!

holy wow these are just so… breathtaking. i just completed my doula training and have my own photography business so this is exactly the kind of thing i want to do is document births, but wow these are just stunning. makes me even more excited to start! and hopefully i will be so lucky as to get invited to document a home birth in the near future.. :o)
amazing job, you are a true artist with real talent

Michelle,
I’ve admired your work for some time, but I must say that your birth sessions are truly amazing! What a great gift to give someone! If only you were located closer to Wisconsin–I’m expecting my third child in May and would love to have something like this.
