Donna Harris Photography

This week has been CA-RAZY! Three births to photograph in one week. If I start going gaga and want another baby, you could probably pin it down to this week being the cause of my baby fever.

I’m sure there are other rockstar photographers out there that do this every week, but not me. This was my first time shooting 2 births back-to-back. Good thing they were scheduled C-Sections, so we had some sort of idea of when baby would arrive.

Workday 1 & Workday 2:  Calling Dr. Donna to the OR!

BOTH of these births somehow involve phenomenal photographers. Day 1 was the birth of Lukas, his mommy is Anne Meintrup of  Shutterly Amazing Portraits. I’ll be posting WAAAY more photos of this birth next week.

Day 2 was a birth that Kelly Manno asked me to shoot. Shooting a birth in her place was a little nerve-wracking since I KNOW how awesome of a job she does.

That’s why she’s the only person who’ll ever shoot the birth of my kids.

Here are a few of my favorites from that day….

Dad waiting just outside the room as Mom gets prepped for her C-Section. 

Seconds old.

Chunky, happy, and ready to be loved. But could someone turn down those lights? It’s a little bright in here.

This evening, I’ve got another hot date full of hospital attire, waiting rooms, and baby blankets.

Yep, I’m off to shoot another birth. I’m not complaining. Not at all.

My job is awesome.

Happy Friday!
