The gift of life and the gift of giving life. The images of these births are beyond amazing, beyond bright lights and sterile hospital rooms. This is a new view of birth, for many of us in the western world. 
Picture
A mother gives birth to her son. This photograph captured a momentous introduction of a mother and baby's first exchange. The baby is suspended in time, half way inside his mother and the world; being guided out by his mother's own hands. Photograph was captured by friend and doula of the mother.
