Moments from Brought to Earth by Birth…

Linnee gazes with wonder at her brother Michah, so freshly born.

As I looked through the lens to photograph this moment, the birth
of Linnee four years earlier was in my heart. The mighty strength and courage
of her mother Barb, as she labored with great patience. The love and thoughtful care
her father Allen lived so deeply, throughout the long labor. Beauty and grace as Barb
birthed Linnee into Allen’s gentle hands.

And I was  blessed to be present, to photograph birth for the first time.
That was in 1975.  Linnee now 34, has birthed two sons, and Michah 31,
is becoming a photographer.

This photograph is one of many  moments in  Brought to Earth by Birth.
Please visit again, for more moments to share with you.

It is deep privilege to photograph the splendid realms
of pregnancy and birth, and life’s continuing moments.
As artist and midwife to birth and beyond,
I am delighted to make visible experiences of being.
