Best Birth Photos of 2020
What a year - for our world and for birthing people. The strength, determination, and beauty that ALWAYS exists in birth was amplified during a year where EVERYTHING changed so quickly. As 2020 comes to a close, I’ve spent the day reflecting 70+ births I was able to attend in the past year. The images I share below are only a small collection of an overwhelming display of the courage and power that existed in the birth spaces across Denver and Colorado. I tried to include an image from every birth I attended…but some births were excluded due to requests for privacy (which we ALWAYS honor).
And I can’t post this collection without also saying THANK YOU to the hospitals, birth centers, and home birth midwives who allowed doulas and birth photographers to support their clients during this pandemic. You are true heroes in so many ways, and the care you provided your clients during such a scary health crisis is beyond admirable. Thank you for holding space, holding hands, and holding hearts in 2020.
PS. A huge thanks to Rebecca Walsh, Lindsey Bartell, and Danica Donnelly, who supported both me and my clients during 2020. Your art and heart is unmatched.
