| Lindsey Ellis | Birth in the Everyday |  |
| Sarah Koehler | All hands on deck / A mother holding the newborn, cord and placenta still attached, safely stepping out of the birth pool with the helping hands of their two home birth midwives and her partner. |  |
| Sarah Koehler | The gaze / Minutes old newborn and mother gazing into each other's eyes, after an early morning autonomous home birth. The midwife who didn't make it in time, had just arrived. |  |
| Crystal Dorothy | "Profound Solace" This image was taken a few moments after we arrived. This was the birth of a very close friend that had moved almost 2 hours away after she asked both me and Heather (doula) to be a part of her birth team. I feel this image so accurately captured the extreme relief that not only were we able to make it on time, but that she finally felt ready to relinquish control and allow the birthing process to take over. The love and connection between everyone present was almost as intense and beautiful as her birth was. |  |
| Erin Beth Stetson | Please, God, Give Me Strength/ A midwife birthing her first child. It was more than she imagined. She wasn't sure she had the strength to finish, but her husband was there grounding her and helping her stay present as they labored in their backyard hot tub. |  |
| Erin Beth Stetson | Acrobatic Baby/ Labor went from barely anything to a baby coming out, so mom didn't make it to the birth tub and had baby standing in the bathroom. Baby was born completely tangled in his cord, so the midwife skillfully somersaulted baby and untangled his cord before passing to mom. |  |
| Erin Beth Stetson | Passing to You/ A precipitous home birth where the midwife barely made it. The midwife is passing baby through mom's legs as baby is being born so mom can catch her own baby. |  |
| Erin Beth Stetson | She's ok?/ An unplanned hospital induction where baby was immediately taken away and mom and dad didn't know if she was ok. This was the moment that everyone was together again. |  |
| Erin Beth Stetson | It's a girl/ A surprise 4th baby, everyone assumed it would be a boy, especially dad. When the moment came and mom said "it's a girl" she was elated and the boys were in shock. |  |

| Patrycja Drozd | She was stunned for a moment. As her lungs filled with air, she let out a big cry to let everyone know she was there. |  |
| Patrycja Drozd | As her parents prepared for her arrival, she shocked everyone with an early surprisal. |  |
| Patrycja Drozd | There were times when she saw no end and doubtful thoughts filled her head, but the moment she held him, time simply stood still. In that instant, she knew she would never let go. |  |
| Patrycja Drozd | She was between waves; the room was quiet. They were all still and resting, patiently waiting for another wave to arrive. |  |
| Patrycja Drozd | Upon seeing his beautiful wife deliver their first baby boy, he fell into his own mother’s arms, overwhelmed with joy. |  |
| Emily Santi | To the Heavens / She never made a sound during her very short labor, and when she made one grunt and the team knew it was time for her to meet her baby. She gently got into a tub, and only a few pushes later, her son was in her arms. It was over, she looked up to ceiling, exclaiming “Thank you, Jesus. Thank you” It was over, it was won. |  |
