Felicia and Sheldon invited me to photograph their second birth. I love home births for many reasons, but one of my favorites is that it allows birthing families to make their birth space entirely their own. When I walked into Felicia and Sheldon's home, I found twinkly lights, beautiful flowers, and a loving network of support surrounding Felicia. She still didn't believe she was in super active labor, but because I lived all the way in Denver (and they lived in Colorado Springs) I'd decided to drive down early just to be safe. Within just 30 minutes of my arrival, it became very apparent that Felicia WAS in active labor.
