💙Held in the warm water by his father as his mother gave birth to her placenta. I love how quiet, dim, and peaceful this moment was…baby was so alert and calm in his dad’s arms. You can see the cord floating in the water too…baby remained connected to his mom and placenta the entire time

Sooo many emotions…this has to STOP.

Her husband says she bled for 10 hours internally – then she was gone Kira Johnson died at the hospital hours after she delivered their son. Her husband said their repeated calls for help were ignored. He wants the laws to change.

Beautiful 😍

BIRTH MAGIC 🌌🌌
"That magical moment when you are photographing a friend and fellow birth photographers birth and her beautiful baby girl is not only posterior but born En Caul (in the amniotic sac) with her hand on top of her head!!!!" Your waters don't need to break (or be broken) for baby to be born."

Amazing 🤎

I've been waiting to share this image. Saving it. Today feels a bit raw so I think it's right. 

This was a mini 8x10 created to honour the life, work and spirit of Carla Hartley, founder of the Ancient Art Midwifery school and the Trust Birth conference. My assignment was open ended: to paint either Carla herself or something with a 'really powerful birth energy'. 

I looked through my archives of amazing photos. I was a little hesitant but this one felt right and I decided to trust my gut. 

This model who submitted many years ago shared that she had a midwife attended home birth with her first child and chose to have her second baby unassisted, accompanied by her supportive husband. 

To me, Carla stood for autonomy, intuition, women's power, choice and a real belief that birth was safe and women are able.  I hope I honoured her legacy. 

The client, who was a friend and colleague of Carla's thought it was perfect. 

Every aspect of inspiration for this painting is about choice and support. Comments about risk or with judgement are out of place. 

Lastly - a plea from the artist- it seems as if I'll have a restriction going forward on my Instagram account that doesn't allow my posts to be seen by non-followers, because I'll still continue to share n**e artwork even as I resolve past infractions. Please share my work as you wish with credits and tags, especially if your own audience may be interested in my content and work. Otherwise my visibility is limited.  I appreciate everyone who is here following. We make art to share it and that's kind of the purpose of these platforms so ya. Carry on.
