Not long after we experienced the birth of Baby Everly together last spring, Jen Quesada of Natural Blessings Doula Services contacted me about documenting the September home birth of her third child. Well, September is finally here and last week I stopped by to visit with Jen, her husband Josh and their two girls Grace & Samantha. As it turned out, Jen’s midwife and good friend Eloisa Cary of Gentle Hands Midwifery just happened to stop by for a visit while I was there! I had brought along my camera with the intention of snapping a few belly shots, but when little Sam grabbed the fetoscope and asked to listen to the baby, the whole family got in on the fun and a full-on photo shoot ensued! What a great time we all had trying to find the baby's heart beat while Eloisa gently encouraged him to turn into the birth position for Mama Jen. I can’t wait to share the birth photos… hopefully very, very soon!
After Eloisa left, we spent a few minutes documenting the family in their final days as a family of four – which inevitably turned into a huge tickle-fest : )
And finally… a few solo shots of Jen and her belly.
Such a pretty, healthy mama she is!
