As I witness the arrival of each newly born baby,
this helps to explain why, for over 35 years and 2000 births,
I continue to stand in awe of the miracle of life.

This is a wonderful shot, Patti! I recently had the experience of having a baby look directly at me and connect, before she was fully born, and it gave me the absolute chills. Both the doctor and I (she got both of us!) shared how there was an energy shift when the baby caught our eyes! I love your photography and always appreciate your sharing!

Wow, this is so amazing!
ReplyDeletewow I would ask if this is real except that I know it is, this little one looks so much like little person rather than a baby it is amazing. I have never seen anything like it before.
ReplyDeleteMany people have asked if this photo is for real. It most definitely is and I felt so fortunate to be able to capture that incredible birth when little Sophia looked up at the midwife with those huge, aware newborn eyes and that indescribable expression on her beautiful face. A mesmerizing and breathtaking moment in time.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to have caught a picture of it! I was a doula at a friends birth & I was the first person the baby saw. Eyes wide open & totally made eye contact with mine! Only his head was out at that point. We connected a few more times as we were trying to get him to get his shoulder out!
ReplyDeleteThat picture gives me the chills! It's absolutely wonderful! Is it okay if I share this picture on my facebook "fan page" birthyourway.org childbirth education?
ReplyDeleteso moving! i love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing shot. This baby is so adorable, he looks a bit unhappy to be coming out into the world though! Hahah.
ReplyDeleteSuch an incredible moment! I'm starting my doula training in the spring & I can't wait to become fully absorbed in beautiful and mesmerizing moments such as this one! Thank you for posting this!
ReplyDeletewow! what a face and good reflex to capture it!! <3
ReplyDeleteTake me to your leader!!! LOL! GREAT BABY FACE!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's this amazing jolt of energy when you make eye contact with a baby being born. It's indescribable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and amazing shot. May I share it on Pinterest?

Wow, just wow!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that pic! It looks like he's saying "Hi. And who the heck are YOU?!" :)
ReplyDelete<3 it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure of a photo!! My son started crying when just his head was out. Mouth open, but eyes not.... Weird feeling to have a head on either side of your body making noise at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading a bunch of really depressing posts on Facebook, I came across yours. Now I can't stop smiling. All births are little miracles, but a natural birth just takes it to the next level. You won't see a baby that has been exposed to epidural anesthesia engaging like this! What an incredible picture!! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to be able to feature it on our natural parenting website.
ReplyDeletetechnical question... how was the baby born? arms first and then head or head and then the arms popped out like that? really cool picture!
ReplyDeleteHi, Arrington here again. After a good night's sleep, I took another look at the picture and realized that this might not be a pain medication free birth (catheter, mother's position on back...). Anyway, I'm very curious to know more about the circumstances if you are willing to share, especially since the baby appears so with it (great eye contact & focus)!

Wow. How very amazing. Ain't life grand.
ReplyDeleteThat baby is saying, " whatchoo talkin' about, Willis?"
ReplyDelete:-)
That baby looks so mad, lol!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing....That's a good one. That baby is not impressed!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love it!
ReplyDelete"I went through all that to see YOU? Where's my Mama?!?" This picture is nothing but awesome. What a moment!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how magical that moment was. Beautiful photo :)
