My assistant and second shooter Joy had her baby on Wednesday! Lucky me, I got to photograph the birth, and it was a truly amazing, humbling and moving experience. I documented the late stages of labor, the delivery, and the joyful and chaotic moments that followed. It’s a girl! And her name is Emma Lynn! And she’s beautiful!

Here are a few images from the day. Enjoy! (And if you’d like to see more, the complete gallery is on my Facebook page here: Introducing Emma Lynn!)
