A Homegrown Love Story Shep’s Birth Day | A Southwest Virginia Home Birth Story Birth rarely goes the way you expect. I fully expected to not go into labor until after the New Year. My reasoning for this? There is so much pressure surrounding the “due date” and I have learned that it is best […]

I love all births but this one is extra special. You see, Caitlin and Tyler are my first bride and groom to book me for their birth story.

I was greeted with a very perky, “Hey Emily! How ya doing? You ready to take some pictures?!”
