Sister, lover, French major, radical birth doula, cheerful barista, feminist, pagan (goddess-centered folk magic & traditional witchcraft), anti-oppression, queer, white, polyamorous, kinky, French Canadian, Hufflepuff, in love with pizza and my cat.
No yelling or screaming or blaming or fighting…nothing like the Hollywood portrayals of birth.
“A mother gives birth to her son. This photograph captured a momentous introduction of a mother and baby’s first exchange. The baby is suspended in time, half way inside his mother and the world; being guided out by his mother’s own hands. Photograph was captured by friend and doula of the mother.”
