I was thrilled yesterday to drop off the final 12 prints from the Skin-to-Skin photography project made for St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. The images were done with the cooperation of some fantastic participating families over the course of a few weeks where I was “on call” to come to the hospital as soon as the babies were born. I was lucky enough to meet these new bundles very soon after they met the world.
The photographs are meant to encourage new moms and dads to focus on “skin-to-skin” contact and natural breastfeeding with their newborn. We made sure to include dads in this as their role is very important in both aspects; even more so when the woman undergoes a C-section as it is the dad who gets to do the first skin-to-skin while the mom recovers.
The 20 x 30 Lightjet C-prints, mounted on Dibond, will be on display permanently in the hospital’s Labour & Delivery ward.

So stunning. I hope to see these in the hospital before we leave for Newfoundland.
You just filled me up with inspiration. Thank you!
