Back in May, I documented Kennedy Leigh Darkins birth. š¤
A few weeks postpartum, she had Alyson and her son over for a playdate. Leave it to Kennedy to ask Alyson if she had a birth photographer for her upcoming birth.
Her response? š āHeck no.ā
Well, I guess Alyson started thinking about it more, looked up my IG, and next thing you know, having birth photos was a MUST š
I love stories like this. I love when friends encourage friends. Itās one thing for me to tell you that you need birth pics, but when someone who has nothing to gain from it encourages you to do it, thatās a whole different level.
And Iām so glad she listened. š¤
ps: when alyson reached out she asked that no birth photos were shared online. I always respect this!!! 2/9 births in the last month asked me not to share. But after seeing this photo, I HAD to ask if I could share this beautifully raw image. She said āyou can def share it.ā So I hope this images touches someoneā because I was brave to ask āŗļø
pss: in July my family and 2 family friends were in austin eating pizza and someone walked up to me and said āare you whitney??? youāre photographing my birth in sept⦠its me, alyson!ā how crazy is that?! I love small moments like that. Just further confirmation weāre both where we need to be.
welcome, buddy. Youāre really wanted and lovedš„¹
