a birth story

Enjoy watching this amazing home birth turned hospital birth in Berlin.
Her birth team (midwife, doula and me, the birth photographer) gathered in the early hours of the morning, we watched the sun rise together and slowly Shanay dove deeper and deeper in her birth space. It was such a calm atmosphere throughout the birth, while she switched between the bed and tub. After hours of laboring at home, Shanay wanted the help of gas & air, so we all made our way to the hospital. And just shortly after arriving, baby Lenni was born (in her sac!) into the strong arms of her Mama.
