Hakan’s Story - Maternity and Newborn Photography in Montreal
Hakan’s family was a real joy to work with. His father was a bit apprehensive, but once he got to know Chuck and I, he really came out of his shell and we captured some great photos of him with his son. Hakan’s mom was a pure pleasure to photograph! During both her pregnancy and when the baby arrived, she was just radiant!
Lux's Story Part 2 | Labor: they ain't joking, it’s WORK.
My dream labor was to be at home, surrounded by candles, in a birthing pool, with music I love, a midwife who respects my needs and my body and being unmedicated… unfortunately that wasn't gonna happen for me. I knew early on that they were going to induce me. I did all that I could to try and induce labor on my own, but it didn't work. In fact it ended up taking a long time even with inducing me.
Lux’s Story Part 1 | In pregnancy, nothing goes the way you would expect
I had a beautiful idea of what my pregnancy would be like. Cute morning sickness, adorable food aversions, some minor body pains. Baby kicking and twirling inside you, having your partner feel his child move from the outside. A labor and delivery at home, with a midwife, in candlelight or daylight, in a birthing pool.
Oh boy was I wrong.
