It’s an incredible thing to meet a person for the very first time…I mean that literally–a brand-new person. I had such a privilege a couple of weeks ago when I photographed the birth of baby Jackson. Jackson’s mommy is a midwife herself, but this was her first time to give birth. She was amazing.
Words fail me when I try to describe what it’s like to photograph something so powerful and raw…in many ways, I feel so helpless with my camera. I cannot feel the pain, and yet I get to witness the joy. And what joy there is. I will let the photos tell the story. (All photos shared with permission).

Karey - Love these! I especially had to comment, since that’s the same room where my little Jack was born!
Beth Kukucka - So, so beautiful, Mary. Really outstanding … even more than usual.
Milla - Wow, Mary, these are INCREDIBLE! I especially love #8, and #10 brought tears to my eyes! Amazing. What a gift for this family to have these photos.
