The Birth of Kennedy | San Antonio Birth Photographer - Mamarazzi Photography

I am finally making some time to blog!  Yay!  I have been gathering some birth stories that I wanted to share and today I am sharing Kennedy's birth.  I met Destiny a couple of years ago when I was working on my "seasonal mommas" project for my studio.  Basically I wanted to photograph one woman for each season, and since the seasons are so different, I wanted to use different ethnicities to represent each season.  DJ was exactly what I was looking for to represent my spring goddess, and she accepted.  As we planned for the session she became interested in a birth story.  Before long I was on call for her! 

The morning of March 22, 2015 I was getting ready to head out for a pregnancy reveal session when DJ let me know that she was at the hospital.  We still figured it could be a while so I told her to keep me posted and notified my clients that we may need to reschedule depending on when baby decided to come.  I was en route to the session when DJ's mom called to let me know she was 6cm!  I called my clients and let them know what was going on and headed back towards SAMMC.

I walked in and DJ was happily visiting on the phone with friends and family and enjoying the company of her mother.  Things were moving right along, I think I was as excited as she was to know that we would be meeting miss Kennedy soon!

I asked DJ to share her birth story with me so I could tell it from her perspective.    :)
