Birthing Photography? 


I read a very interesting article on Yahoo about "birthing photography". It talks about how woman now want a photographer in the birthing room, whether its a home birth, a scheduled c-section or hospital. I was really excited about this controversial pneumonia: the photographer takes tasteful photographs, mostly of expressions: fear, joy, pain, anticipation and does not take pictures of the birth itself (unless at mother request) rather the expressions, the bonding, the moments of first breath (could anything be more spectacular?)  Birthing is a private and special moment but think its wonderful if you can have someone document this miraculous occasion whether its your first birth or 19th. If ever I have the opportunity to take part of this movement, I would be a fly on the wall, very discreet. Keeping it private, intimate and sincere.
