Back in March I gave away a session as a raffle prize at Joyful Birth and Breastfeeding Expo. This sweet couple won a Babymoon session and so a week after sweet Brighton arrived I headed over to document those first hazy babymoon days.
I was grateful to be allowed to document a wonderful family-centered c-section. This was not in the mama's birth plan and she labored long, over 36 hours, and with the help of her doula, care providers, and of course an amazingly attentive husband, it was a beautiful birth. Delayed cord clamping, skin to skin immediately following birth, nursing in the first hour and Daddy skin to skin were all included. Everyone was supportive, from Dr. Twedt at Piedmont Obgyn, to the GHS midwives, to the wonderful anesthesiologist. Greenville Memorial is making true strides to support women who deliver via c-section.
I met these two back in February and during our consult I knew I was the lucky one. The rapport they have is tremendous. Well-matched, in sync, is what they call it. They are both so funny and up for anything. I love the way they adore each other and can't wait see that adoration turn toward their new baby. Don't miss their birth story next month!
