The Best Of 2018: Birth Photography in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Surrounding Suburbs by Meredith Westin

What. a. year! In 2018, I had the honor of documenting 21 hospital births, 10 births at birth centers, and eight home births. 15 baby boys, 25 baby girls. Four surgical births, one surrogacy delivery, and one set of twins. Most of my clients allowed me to share images from their birth and a few chose to keep their images private. Additionally, I captured six births for other birth photographers as a backup and took a few months off to travel! The joy, strength, and love that I felt and witnessed at each of these births was heartwarming and immensely fulfilling. These are some of my favorite moments of my birth photography career in 2018 and some of the very best moments of my life. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

Bonus Real Postpartum images are at the bottom of this post! I absolutely adore these intimate motherhood sessions and the collection of images that I make at each session commemorates a bit of your postpartum time.
