Jules Morlet

Birth + Newborn Photography

Birth is something you can be the most present for and have the least remembrance of.

I’ve done them all. C-Section, VBAC 1 all natural long labor, VBAC 2 all natural baby out in two hours and two pushes. I’ve seen the chaos of a hospital room and yet the peace of medical professionals, midwives and doulas. And the thing I treasure the most from each birth are the snapshots and quick iPhone captures of those blessed blurry days. Every woman should be able to look back, whether to smile, cry, heal or remember how powerful she is when bringing life into this world.
