Last night I had the honor of documenting a little girl as she came into this world. While I have watched in awe several babies being born, I have never been the photographer for one. For me personally, to watch and record such a sacred event was one of the most holy of nights. The mama was strong and graceful. The daddy was kind and calm. The midwife was supporting and gentle. I felt like I was watching a beautiful dance that had been rehearsed time and time again.
