Salem, Oregon Photographer: Birth Photography | Evelyn
This is Evelyn's birth story
When I first met Mama, she told me she was interested in having her daughter's birth photographed because she felt like there were so many parts of her son's birth that she wanted to be able to remember better- but it was just such a blur. A happy, emotional, blur. I really feel like that is the reason why birth photography is so important to me.. It's TRUE. The labor and birth of your child is one of the most precious moment's of your life (if not THEE most precious..) It's a time that you wish so badly you could freeze in that moment and return to it years down the road. When Mama sees this video, I hope it'll pull her right back in, to that day. To the anticipation of riding in the car for her induction with a doctor that she absolutely LOVED and had such a connection with. And remembering that she wanted some peanut M&M's while she was laboring (and she got them right after baby arrived!!!) I want her to remember her husband by her side telling her sweetly he wished there was something he could do to help her- and the way that he looked at her while she was laboring, and how he admired her holding their baby girl. It is my biggest wish that she will remember how excited her son was when he burst in the room running to see "myyy babyyyyyyy!" (I'm pretty excited for baby girl to get to see this video someday, too!!! Her big brother fell in love with her in just seconds!) I want Mama to see this video and see how beautiful she is, and how beautiful her family is. She and her husband have created this precious family together, and that is something worth celebrating.
Etzel family, thank you so much for giving me the honor of working with you.
