I am a firm believer that Maternity leave has to be better in the USA. I just came across this article and I though I would share with you.
Very inspiring!

I’ve been one of Nike’s most widely marketed athletes. If I can’t secure maternity protections, who can?

Where my hands where used I called God’s name. I Praise the Lord for this Home Birth being as beautiful as parents’ wishes.

Onde minhas mãos foram usadas eu invocava o nome de Deus. Oi u louvo a Deus por este parto em casa ter sido como os pais desejaram.

Being a Postpartum Doula I have the pleasure to teach parents how I give the baby a bath. Everyone will have their own way and customize as they go!

A birth Story! Be ready to smile! After many hours of labor mom had this amazing 9 pounds baby without medication, and I was her support doula and birth photographer. It is so amazing and thrilling to be both! To see the images and to show mom how she was so courageous and strong. Thank you Katherine and Justin! I will always be grateful to be there with you and see Jackson come to this world.

It has been two weeks that I got to witness this birth as a doula and a photographer. A moment to remember!

In these images I can describe so many things like:
*love
*strength
*resilience
*companion
*acknowledge
*boundaries
*family, etc…
What do you see it here? Please write in the comment bellow.

I am so lucky to have clients like them! Thank you! I get to see God’s divine work in birth!

Just before birth! She was prepared, she was supported with her husband all the time with her. Even thought, there were doubts, fears, scary moments, but she went through and did an amazing job and had the joy of accomplishment! Great Job Mama! This is an image from a birth that I was a doula and a photographer a week ago! What an amazing experience! The images can heal, can reassure what a mom can’t remember about the birth! Amazing!

The wait is over and it is the best feeling having the baby in my chest! “I did it”. I couldn’t believe that I did it”. ✨
These are mom’s words!
The image shows empowerment of…
…become a mother,
…become stronger
…become resilient
…believing it.
…courage
…believing in her body
✨
So many things happens at this moment! It is so magical, to me DIVINE.
✨
God has a way of showing us how He made us perfect.
I am so proud of this mom! And I got to witness and help her and her husband get through! What a feeling!
