i have been so blessed to have the opportunity to shoot birth stories this year! i have had 5 so far and absolutely loved the experience every time. when jayme contacted me to shoot hers, i was SO excited! it was such a beautiful and exciting experience. they didn't find out the sex of the baby so we all had fun making guesses during labor. mom and dad said boy. FOR SURE, a BOY. so naturally, i guessed girl! you can guess how it played out...
this is jen.
jen is jayme's sister in law.
she works at a dermatology office.
she is not a nurse.
she is not qualified to deliver babies.
do not let the scrubs fool you.
[we were all ROLLING at this photo!]
at the final push, jeremy blurted out that he suddenly had a feeling that this baby was a GIRL.
and he was RIGHT.
big sister and brother...
jayme, thank you so much for letting me be a part of miss charlotte's birth- it was truly an honor and such a special day. congratulations.

very moving Jess. You did a stand out job on this birth story. Really special for this family!
Can I go ahead and book you right now for my 4th child's birth? Not that I'm even close to getting pregnant for the fourth time but when it happens I'll be wanting you there to capture all the beauty like you did for this family. So perfect! But seriously what is your pricing for a birth story???
booohooo! I'm crying with joy for this adorable family. Super super job on the images, they are gorgeous and the family must be overjoyed.
I lost it with that picture of her holding the baby with her hand on her chest and the tear on her cheak... AMAZING! What a beatiful moment to have captured on film.
Hi Jessica. I ran into you at Fashion Place Mall a couple of months ago and we got to talking in the shoe department (you were "on call" for a birthing photo shoot. I'm Kesha Scott's cousin. Anyway, I had my baby about 5 weeks ago and this post brought tears to my eyes! Nice work.
Can I just ask you what lens you use to do birth shoots. I have a 50mm 1.4, but wonder if it is hard, do you have enough room? Amazing pictures by the way.
Thanks for making me cry!
soooo beautiful. i couldn't help looking at those pictures without tearing up. beautiful, jessica!
These are just amazing. I'm not one to cry at maternity/birth pictures, but these had me going. So beautiful.
These are beautiful - I love Jayme - she is such a sweet mom. You have captured this moment so perfectly. Makes me wish I was still having kids :)
What an amazing photo shoot ! Wonderful story line and great pictures
JESS JESS JESS :) Those BEAUTIFUL pictures just conjured up all the memories from giving birth to my babies. WOW. Words cannot express. What a lucky family to have those.
Beautiful photos, you really caught all the emotion, and moment perfectly. Great work :)
Oh my! So beautiful. All those stripes cracked me up. And then one where the mom is holding her hand to her while holding the baby. Wonderful.
These are just incredibly gorgeous and touching. I love every single image!
I'm a friend of your cuz, Rachel- loved these pics...I cried and now I really want a baby :).
These are amazing!
BEAUTIFUL job! Did you use your 24-70 or 50mm 1.4 on these pictures?
I have to say, this is the most wondrously gorgeous photo montage of a baby's arrival into the world. Just breathtaking. I'm here via Pinterest. Of all places.
Awesome photos! Wowsers.
BEAUTIFUL!
These are amazing! What an awesome experience to share with that family & to capture is so beautifully!
I had my first baby 2 1/2 months ago, and was amazed after 9 months of hearing horror stories at what a deeply touching, precious, perfect experience childbirth is. Thank you for capturing that beauty, I wish every expecting mother could see these.
