Sophie’s birth was an absolutely incredible experience, and I feel so blessed to have been there to photograph it. She was born “on-time” one day before her due date……..which was perfect since I had kept that weekend open just in case. It was surreal to watch her come into the world, and to witness the miracle of life. Jake was so excited that Sophie was on her way! He was very concerned for his big sister and tried to comfort her the best he could. Jessica delivered naturally without pain medication. Sophie came into the world alert and gazed intently at her mother as she nursed. It was amazing to say the least!! Thank you Jessica for letting me share these images!
