"I can't believe we have a boy!" in Minneapolis | Rook Clayton's Birth Story in Photographs /  by Meredith Westin

Rook Clayton | August 7th, 2018 | 4:00 pm

Not only was Rook born on his big sister's birthday, he was born on the hour, just like his two sisters before him. His strong mama delivered him in one push after laboring down for a little while and his parents didn't clamp or cut his cord until a few hours after his birth so he could receive the full benefits of delayed cord clamping.

Welcome to the world, Rook! We're so glad you're here!

A Second-Time Mama Delivers in Minneapolis, Minnesota | Carson's Birth Story in Photos /  by Meredith Westin

It doesn't happen often, but sometime we birth photographers need to send a backup photographer to a birth if life gets in the way. In this instance, the lovely Bryanna of Swaddle Shots had a long-standing trip booked and this mama didn't go into labor until the day she went out of town. That's where I came in. Bryanna made sure her client was covered and I got to witness this sweet couple's amazing connection. You're going to see Mama beaming at her husband moments after she birthed their baby. You're going to see Dad looking at his baby and his wife in awe. And you just might tear up like I teared up in my time with these wonderful people. I'm so honored to have been able to document the birth of their second babe. 

Welcome to the world, Carson! We're so glad you're here!
