I loved looking through these. Some of them were taken by doulas in the CBI yahoo group that I'm on. I was sort of surprised by how many doulas offer birth photography as part of their services. I mean how can you offer good support when you're behind a camera? I guess hands on support is not needed at every moment of a birth, but I feel like if I were thinking about getting good pictures, it would distract me from focusing on the needs of the woman.
Oops, that turned into a bit of a rant. Anyway, beautiful photos and such an honour to get to witness these moments regularly.

Some of these photos definitely make me want to have another!

They get the ovaries going, don't they?
