The Birth of Nori | Birth Photographer Shanna Simpson

Jul 20, 2014 | Newborns

**Warning**

This is a post about a BIRTH… not just the newborn… but the actual birth…. continue at your own leisure, of course nothing is inappropriate, but some may not be comfortable….

Since I have become a photographer, I have wanted to photograph a birth. Shoot, who am I kidding, since I can remember I’ve wanted to witness a birth. I really can’t remember how the conversation came up about me photographing Jessie’s birth, but I was so stoked. I was amazed as I watched this woman go through this birthing process naturally. For those of you who know me, I had a 8 pound 15 ounce baby by c-cection, no laboring at all… So all of this LABOR thing was totally new to me and I was amazed, and TOTALLY honored to be able to not only experience it, but capture it for this amazing couple.
