Having a C-Section?

I have MANY mamas tell me "I wish I could have a birth story, I'm having a c-section.". Wait what? YOU CAN! I too have c-sections, so I fully understand wanting to get those moments captured. A c-sections is still a birth story! It doesn't matter how the baby gets here.. its still your story.. a story that should be captured and treasured.

I recently attended a c section.. it wasn't a planned c section. It was suppose to be a home birth, that turned into a hospital birth, that turned into a c section. We cant  predict how our bodies will react to labor.. so disappointment comes when your "birth plan" doesn't turn out the way it should. But in the end we have a baby in our arms to snuggle and love on. I got to capture all the different stages of this birth.. and the c section. Because sometimes hospitals are very kind and understanding of how important these photos can be.. and they allow me in.

And then there are times where they say only one support is allowed in. Well that just rubs me the wrong way but whatever. Lol. This is the time where I just go ahead and hand my camera to daddy/or the supporter that is allowed in. Whatever photos that they capture I still edit . When you are back into recovery or your room I then continue shooting:)

SO don't say you can have a birth story! Because YOU CAN... and you should!:) I do have special rates for scheduled c sections. Ask me about them!:)
