This fall I had so much fun taking maternity photos for one of my best friends and fellow photographer, Mary. We both really hoped it would work out that I could photograph the birth too, but since she and Jay live in Washintgon D.C., and since the baby was due over the holidays, we just weren’t sure if it would work out!
But, thankfully, I was home in Pittsburgh when Mary called me at 3:30am on January 9th and said “today’s the day!” So, I hopped in my car and made it there in plenty of time to be with Mary and Jay through this wonderful process. I must say, being part of a good friend’s birth is a very emotional, beautiful thing. And, I am so very grateful to have had this experience.
Here are a few photos from Harriet’s birth story.
Absolutely beautiful Milla! And congratulations to the new mom and dad!!!!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Milla you did an absolutely amazing job! These are fabulous! What a wonderful gift for Mary and Jay to have to cherish forever!
Wow! These are so beautiful, Milla! The one of baby looking up at dad doesn’t even look real it’s so perfect.
Hope to be calling you sometime in the next year for some similar pics! :)
Amazing, Milla!
What Sherry said! WOW! WOW! WOW!
Milla, you did such a wonderful job! These photos are so precious and tell the birth story beautifully.
These are amazing!! Difficult place to shoot. Really well done!
Fantastic! So tasteful and just splendid!
Milla, these pictures are beautiful! I especially love the moments you caught between baby and Jay. So amazing, what a gift!
Ah! These are seriously just amazing for so many reasons.
Milla….these are so beautiful, you captured moments as if you were a mom yourself, making the hospital a warm cozy place is not an easy task but these are amazing. Mary is so blessed to have you as a friend.
[...] Finally, I can introduce her to you! She was 7lbs, 9oz and 19 and a half inches long–for those of you who like statistics. I was fortunate to have my good friend, Milla, drive all the way from Pittsburgh at three in the morning to photograph the birth. I’m so thankful she was there to capture the incredible story and the moments. As my memory fades, I have her wonderful photos to cherish the excitement (and hard work!) of the day. I’ll post a favorite here, and you can see more on her blog. [...]
