I will never forget the day that my sister Michelle caught me outside of the high school cafeteria wearing her shoes and demanded that I take them off and give them back to her. I smile when I think about how I used to fall asleep while she was talking to me at night and...

Kerry joyceSarah how flipping awesome! I love how everyone was there to witness the beutiful event…Michelle makes it look so easy! ( dont tell my sister please that you were there) lol
DeirdreWhat gorgeous photos of a gorgeous time in a woman’s life! I had a natural birth using hypno birthing. I wasn’t allowed to be at home but it was still an enriching time!
BerkshireMomYou also captured the very important, empowering experience of your niece. Never will she fear birth, or question what her amazing body can do. She will forever know her mom as a woman in charge of herself, and what a role-model that is1 She will always see her dad as a partner parent – not the back-up parent. She is stronger in her connection with her entire family.
Jess CadenaThis is absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful sister you are to capture such a pure sweet moment?
Keri BryantOh my gosh these are precious. So glad I found these from your post on Clickin MOms. Love the sweet words about your sister and the photos are priceless…especially sister upside down peeking into the action. 🙂 Well done.
