I’ve photographed every major milestone of Julian and Heather’s life together, but getting to witness and document the birth of their first child was by far the sweetest of all of them. I’ve watched them prepare for this moment for the past nine months and every ounce of preparation paid off when Heather brought this sweet girl earthside early on Tuesday morning. Seeing them work together as such a beautiful team with their doula and midwives is something I will never forget.
Heather, you are so incredibly strong and brave. Seeing you work so hard and with so much grace to bring your daughter into this world was an absolute privilege.
If anyone needs a doula, Dana Cluff with Bump to Baby Birth Services is AMAZING. Seeing her work together with Heather and Julian to create such a peaceful, safe, supportive environment during such a vulnerable time was so inspiring. I was trying to tell a friend just how amazing she was and the only word I could think of to describe Dana was “gifted”. She has a gift.
