Born at Willow Birth Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota | A Preview of Faith-filled Water Birth in Photographs
September 28, 2024
Midwives: Willow Birth Center
Birth Doula: Doula Duchess
Birth Photography: Gather Birth
I love when I show up to a birth, only to be amazed by the support system present for someone in labor. As a birth doula and birth photographer, I have seen an amazing variety of support while attending births in the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and greater Twin Cities area.
What’s amazing is great support can be found anywhere, regardless of if you’re giving birth in a hospital, at home, or like this family, at a birth center. For this amazing birthing person, they looked to their family and their faith.
I was truly in awe at the innate way their partner supported them physically, mentally, and spiritually. On top of that, her mother was there, providing the loving care only a mom can. To round it out, they chose a birth doula and the midwives at Willow Birth Center to create the perfect team.
It was easy to document this beautiful birth. What wasn’t easy was narrowing down images to give a sneak peek of this peaceful birth was like. Not a bad problem to have.
