Big Brothers and Sisters at Births

I never could have anticipated the joy of watching my oldest become a big sister. Easily one of the best moments of my life. I was so nervous about the transition from one to two that I forgot I was giving my daughter the greatest gift in the world - a sibling.

In my work as a birth photographer, I get to document other big brothers and big sisters at birth. And let me tell you...children get it. They understand birth better than most adults do, and they're seems to be this magical soul recognition that happens when they're introduced to their baby brother or sister for the very first time.

I sat down to put together a collection of sibling images at births I’ve attended, and I honestly could have kept going and going. There are just so many magical moments that I've captured over the years. I chose a small collection of some recent favorites to share with you all today.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do...and if you're an expecting parent getting ready to welcome your second baby into your home, I hope these images remind you that your family has SO much love and joy ahead.
