Simpsons Birth Photography

As a wedding photographer, I am unable to do birth photography. Since births are so unpredictable as far as date and time, there’s no way that I could take the chance of it being on a Saturday during someone’s wedding. But when a good friend comes to you and says they want birth photography if you are free but if you aren’t they don’t mind not having it, that’s the perfect setup.

It’s time

I have to say that I do enjoy the few times I’ve been at the hospital photographing when someone welcomes their new baby into the world. I love to capture love. That’s why wedding photography is what I enjoy most. But there are some very precious moments between the new parents, them and their new child and their family around them. I love images that you can look at and just feel what they were feeling. And I think birth photography is definitely one of those moving types of art.

The Simpsons already have a beautiful little girl you may have seen on my feed before named JoElla. I was at the Twilight Run photographing the event when I got the text that it was time. Had come prepared so I had an extra camera and lens in my car. I passed it on to my mom so she could get the race pictures I would be missing and I sped to the hospital as quickly as I could. I ran in the door and within the next 4 minutes, he was here.
