As a photographer I often walk beside people as they experience emotional times in their lives. If I am fortunate they are truly open with their feelings and allow me to tell their story with my images. This past month, Jaay allowed me to document the birth of her beautiful son in a Halifax Hospital.
Jaay's labor has started but she is still fairly comfortable...
Between contractions she keeps in touch with friends by texting.
Another contraction - she breaths, keeps calm, and silently bears the pain.
It is time to push and once again this young woman stays focused and strong.
Her son is born and the nurses clean him up.
He greets the world with strong limbs and lungs - an absolute miracle and a totally gorgeous baby.
Baby and mom are reunited and he settles safe in her arms.
Jaay, you and your son are beautiful and I thank you for trusting me to photograph this important event in your life.
