Here is their birth story in photos:
Meet Wiley. After a quick labor, she was born into the water at Puget Sound Birth Center on her father’s birthday!
I met them very very briefly at their house just as they were collecting the final things and jumping into the car to head to the birth center. All Wiley’s older siblings ran out to say goodbye to mom and give her belly one last hug.
After approximately 30 mins at the birth center and 2 mins of pushing she was here! Covered in so much birthday frosting (vernix) that it ended up all over mom and dad too.
Just after she was born her grandmothers (her middle-namesakes) and great-grandmother arrived to greet her as well. It truly felt like a birthday party with so much joy and oxytocin flowing in the room.

SNEAK PEEK BIRTH PHOTOS
Are you expecting the arrival of your little one soon and contemplating whether to hire a birth photographer? Capturing the precious moments of childbirth can be a priceless investment, allowing you to cherish and relive those memories for years to come. However, if you find yourself in need of a birth photographer at the eleventh hour, fret not! Here's everything you need to know about hiring a birth photographer last minute.
Birth is a momentous occasion filled with raw emotions, anticipation, and joy. While some may opt for traditional photography, birth photography offers a unique perspective, documenting the entire journey from labor to delivery. These candid moments, expertly captured by a professional birth photographer, serve as a tangible reminder of the incredible strength and beauty of childbirth.
1. Online Search: Start your search by browsing through online directories, social media platforms, and photography websites. Look for photographers specializing in birth photography and check their availability (often best by reaching out to them).
2. Community Referrals: Reach out to your local parenting groups, healthcare providers, or friends for recommendations. They may know of photographers who specialize in capturing the essence of childbirth.
3. Check Availability: Once you've identified potential photographers, reach out to them directly to inquire about their availability. Be transparent about your timeline and express your interest in securing their services last minute.
Navigating last-minute bookings for a birth photographer requires strategic planning and a bit of flexibility. Here's what you need to know:
1. Explore Multiple Options: When seeking a last-minute birth photographer, it's crucial to cast a wide net. Reach out to several birth photographers in your area to increase your chances of finding one available on short notice.
2. Consider Proximity: While a photographer may be available, it's essential to assess their proximity to your birth location. Ensure that the photographer is close enough to realistically make it to your birth in time. Opting for someone local or within a reasonable distance can minimize the risk of delays due to travel time.
3. Open Communication: Once you've identified potential photographers, communicate openly about your situation. Clearly outline your timeline, preferences, and any specific requirements you may have. This ensures that both parties are on the same page and can make necessary adjustments to accommodate your needs.
4. Budget Planning: Last-minute bookings won’t incur additional costs, but instead will typically be a large one-time payment because most people book earlier and pay a deposit, thus lessen their final payment. While preserving these precious memories is invaluable, be realistic about what you can afford. Allocate a budget that reflects the importance you place on professional birth photography. If pricing is a concern and you need an extended payment plan, just ask! A professional birth photographer may be willing to work with you.
Hiring a birth photographer last minute is indeed possible with the right approach and resources at your disposal. By leveraging online platforms, community referrals, and effective communication, you can find a skilled photographer who can beautifully capture the miracle of childbirth, even on short notice. So don't hesitate to reach out and secure the services of a birth photographer to ensure that every moment of your childbirth journey is immortalized for eternity. You won’t regret it.
