As I sit here and edit the images from Malachi's birth, I am weeping with joy. What an amazing blessing it was to be present for such a monumental occasion.
My dear friend chose to deliver her 4th child in the comfort of her own home surrounded by her family.
I think I may have been the most nervous person in the room.
Being a woman, I so admire the strength and determination of my friend. She is truly an amazing woman in every way.
For you photography enthusiasts, here is the technical side- Nikon D700 50mm 1.4 1/20th ISO 2000-3200. The only available light came from the bathroom behind me. I used the birthing pool or a wall to stabalized myself to prevent blur.
Here is Malachi's birth story in the form of images.
LOVE...Oldest son holding his hands to his mouth in awe, mom reaching out her hand to touch her newborn and dad holding her arm.
Now her youngest is a big brother!
Her boys made her eggs right after delivery!
2nd born getting ready to cut the cord.
