Welcome Rafael - an unplanned Cesarean birth at St. Joes in Denver
When I arrived, they were about to wheel Jenna back into the OR. They quickly threw me a pair of scrubs, and I managed to take a few images of her family saying goodbye before we headed into the Operating Room. There was some slight hesitation about allowing me back. Even though I've photographed dozens of cesarean births, most medical staff aren't immediately aware of my experience (especially when we're all rushing back to a surgery!) Thankfully, Jenna's OB was kind enough to advocate for me to come back. And so I did. And I was able to capture some of the most beautiful images for Jenna, Armando and Baby Rafael.


Boy or Girl? Finding out the sex of your baby at birth!
I put together a collection of a few favorite "reveal" moments. Some of these little ones were the first girl or boy to be born into that family, while others were the same sex as what they already had at home. Regardless, the moment they met their baby was absolutely priceless.
