Hawkes Birth Story | Huntsville Alabama Birth Photography | Madison AL

Baby John Parker was born on his actual due date. That would be a first for me. Mommy was determined to bring her handsome little man in this world without an epidural but after being in labor all night with no sleep she decided to get one and boy, it was a good idea she did.

This wonderful woman pushed for 2 and a half hours. She is my hero! She did such an amazing job! As you can tell, Daddy was a wonderful birth partner.

Congratulations Hawkes family!!

If you follow me, you may recognize this family. I assure you I am not double posting their birth. It is in fact their second birth, a year later, same place, same attendees and same amaziness! 

I used to be bothered by the grain of images when I had to take them in low light conditions but I have to tell you it doesn't anymore.  I love it. It make it even more real. 

*warning - there is an image of a placenta at the bottom. If you have a week stomach or just don't like looking at that kind of stuff please do keep clear of the very last image. Thank you.

The mothers. I loved getting to know these wonderful ladies over tea, chats and a birth x2. 

Everyone pitching in. 

Love this photo! Both Midwives, Mother and Mother in law.

Just beautiful!

Just breath.......

Oh my gosh. I can feel the excitement oozing from this image. 

AUGHMAZING!!
