The pictures are absolutely stunning (as you’ll see in our slideshow), but the experience wasn’t without its own unique difficulties, as Brown tells CafeMom. “What made photographing this birth story unique was the lighting,” she explains. Lighting is always a challenge during birth photography, Brown says, because usually there isn’t enough. But during this birth there were a few times where there was simply too much of it — and Brown had to act fast! “Lincoln was just born and the sun was perfectly rising behind him,” she recalls. “I looked up and saw the second midwife standing right in the path of the beautiful glow! I had to tell her to shift to the right!” “We had a lot of laughs after the birth about how I was directing her where to stand,” she added. “I am so lucky to work with such amazing midwives!” And we’re so lucky to see the results of this amazing photo session!
