It was another fabulous year for birth across Canada. Women are becoming educated about options available to them in the birth room and more families are choosing to hire professional birth photographers.  Likewise, more photographers are choosing to photograph births and are spreading inspiring birth stories in their cities and provinces.  Popular trends in birthing rooms this year have included dad's catching their babies, more family centered cesareans that encourage immediate skin-to-skin in the OR and the use of clear drapes so mom's can see their baby's birth.  Enjoy looking through this collection of images that show us just how incredible the birth journey is.
