Bangor Birth Center Photography

Early Monday morning, I got the call! I was so excited to attend and document Gabrielle & Caleb as they worked and welcomed their daughter into the world at Holly No 7 Birth Center in Bangor! I absolutely LOVE documenting births at Holly No 7! As a birth photographer, these brick walls and big windows, well let rooms, one can only hope for a daytime birth in one of these spaces. Lucky for me this was baby number 3 I’ve documented here! When I arrived to the birth center, I chatted briefly with Chris and her assistant student midwife, Grace. We gave the family as much space as we could as to not ‘watch’ her as she labored. This is important to practice being a birth worker and knowing to respect the birth space. Gabrielle hired me with two requests. Capturing moments of Caleb supporting Gabby, and then the moment her baby girl was placed on her. We certainly got many more moments in between all of these moments as well of course, but these are the few I was given permission to share!

Gabrielle bounced on the ball, she video chatted with her sister and her mom throughout as well! Gabrielle also had a doula, named Gabby as well! She was an incredible source of support for them. Gabby decided to labor in the bath for a bit until ultimately moving back on the bed to deliver her daughter. Gabby was on all fours when her baby’s head emerged and then she moved into this super human-like pose like a runner starting a race to deliver the rest of her babe. It was ferocious and incredible to witness the power she channeled and delivered to bring her baby earthside. Congratulations to the family! It is my honor to offer Bangor Birth Center Photography to those who are planning home births or birthing at the birth center.
