Shot using the Contax 645, and a Nikon F100 with a mix of Kodak bw400cn and Ilford 3200 films.
Prepping to post this birth story was so emotional. I didn't expect to tear up, but I did. What an amazingly special time for a couple, for a family. I feel super blessed to have been trusted with such a sacred event in someone else's life. I am always thankful I have the camera to hide behind because I bawl like a baby every time, and that makes focusing the camera kind of tough. *wink*

I love those photos and I love this idea of a birth story using b&w photos. If I were having another baby, you'd be in the delivery room with me. Oh, and so would that OB-GYN because I have the same one!
Geez I wish I had had you there back in September. Seriously.
Same hospital, same Dr. (woot Dr. Watts!), me, a fly by the seat of my pants 3 hour labor, an almost 9 lb baby boy, it would have been awesome to have it all in pictures.
Beautiful job! This is wonderful. And that's Dr. Watts! He delivered my little Oliver. :)
