Crystal Dorothy | "Unity" I chose this image because I loved how you could see each of their hands as baby Luz starts to crown, in particular, Heathers hand, where you see the red yarn-a visual reminder of unity from Christians blessingway (a part of the cord ceremony). And while the red yarn inspired the "Unity" title, this birth was also the very definition of unity. Everyone in this birthing space knew their "job" and worked together flawlessly. It was beautiful to watch. |  |
