Welcome Malcolm :: Birth Photographer Vancouver

Shot in Vancouver Photography — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:50:25 +0000

Welcome, baby Malcolm!

Mom Jozi’s friends arranged for me to be present at this most amazing event. Jozi is also a photographer in Vancouver so I am especially honoured to provide the photos of her second son’s birth. We started on Friday night a few hours after the induction in St. Paul’s Hospital’s maternity ward. Jozi was surrounded by family and friends the entire time.

I returned the next day when the action picked up…

Newborn & birth photography project: The final Skin-to-Skin images for St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver

Shot in Vancouver Photography — Wed, 19 May 2010 17:03:29 +0000

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.

In-hospital birth photography, twins, newborns, and growing families

My series of in-hospital birth photography continued last week with some very lovely families. I’m called to come in to the maternity ward’s delivery and recovery rooms soon after the babies arrive and the parents are just getting to know their new arrivals.

I have a special place for the skin-to-skin photos with dads:

And we had an amazing delivery of twins! They were barely four hours old when I got to make these photos:

Here are my other favourites from three more of these special events:

Charlie (or “CoCo” as her dad called her) was born yesterday at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. I was honored that I got to meet her and her family a few hours after her grand entrance. She made a wonderful subject.

Owen was my amazing first subject for a much larger project that I’ll be showing on the blog as it progresses. He was born yesterday at St. Paul’s Hospital in downtown Vancouver and I got to meet him and his lovely mum early in the evening.
