Emotional photos: 2 moms, a son, and their deeply-touching birth plan
by Melissa Willets posted in Pregnancy
Married wedding photographers Amanda and Candyce recently welcomed a baby boy, and Jessica Thomas from Under My Heart Birth photography was on hand to capture every emotional, beautiful moment.
Perhaps the most touching aspect of this birth story is that Amanda, the mother who carried the baby, wanted her wife to enjoy the first skin-to-skin contact with their son.
But before that life-changing moment, Candyce's main priority was making sure her wife felt loved and supported.
?She would help Amanda with some comfort measures I showed her, and would sing and whisper words of encouragement into Amanda's ear when birth was more intense," Jessica recounted to BabyCenter in an email.
She added, ?Candyce was also very excited for me to capture a special letter that she had written for Amanda during birth to help her out. It was the sweetest thing ever.?
?They were so connected and were a perfect team," Jessica says of the couple during the labor and delivery.
?They were so emotional and thrilled from the birth of their child.?
?After Candyce cut the cord, she received their baby boy and they were able to get all that they wanted with the skin-to-skin."
Amanda enjoyed a first breastfeeding session with their son.
Jessica also says the family?s birth team was beyond supportive and amazing. Clearly this was one room filled to the brim with so much love, joy, and awe over a new life.
Thank you to Amanda and Candyce f...
