Hello Gabriela 

{birth story}

This birth was BEAUTIFUL! This lovely couple have a crystal clear connection that you can really feel through these pictures. This mama was fierce and strong and so sure of herself and her baby. She really rocked and owned her birth. I am quiet as a mouse when I am documenting a birth (unless it's a chatty kind of event) but I had a hard time keeping quiet at times because I just wanted to scream out my cheers of encouragement as she overcame hurdles because I knew she knew she could do it and sometimes you have very little time left before the midwives and doctors need to make the call. But she knew, and she did it! It was a really powerful birth! You can watch the whole video at the end of this post. Beware, it's a real tear jerker!

Women's March on Washington - Toronto

Today we were almost 60,000 strong, and that was in Toronto alone! It was a beautiful day full of hope and peace. It was rather overwhelming being among so many people that only want love and equality and equity for everyone. I am so glad I decided to bring my camera!

Now what? Well, the fight certainly does end here. Head on over to https://www.womensmarch.com to join the 10 actions 100 days campaign.  We need to continue to push for change and it works best if we stand together because there's power in number. We saw that yesterday. 

A Valentine's Baby

I ended 2016 on a  pretty high note when I documented my 30th birth and it was the birth of twins! (I will be sharing that birth story here on the blog very soon.) So I am very excited to go back on call after a nice holiday break to document this beautiful couples birthing day! Their estimated due date is on Valentine's Day. Now, I am fully aware that about 10% of babies are born on the EDD, but still, it's a pretty lovely due date to have considering birth is all about love. The most overwhelming amount of love! 

Learn more about birth photography here, and contact me sooner rather than later if you are interested in having your birthing day documented because I take limited sessions and 2017 is booking up fast!
