The Birth of Sawyer Glenn

On October 21st I got the call.

"She's pushing and has been pushing for a bit!"

In a panic I woke my sleeping 1.5 year old and grabbed my Ergo. (I hoped she would go back to sleep, but was excited to see her reaction since she will be a part of her baby brothers birth in January/February 2017.) We flew to Robyn's house to find her already in the tub, surrounded by her beautiful support team of women. Sadly, Robyn's husband was out of town on business, but was on his way home. This made me photographing this birth all the more special. It was my goal to make sure he felt every amazing emotion when he saw the photos.

With my toddler on my back (who did not go back to sleep, and was so excited to see a baby be born), I photographed Robyn push for about an hour or more. She pushed with such ease, and was even able to hold small conversations and smile in-between contractions. She encouraged baby to come and listened to her Hypnobabies tracks. At the time, we didn't know what the gender was of sweet Sawyer.

Once Sawyer arrived, new Mom, Robyn called her husband, Michael, to announce their little one had arrived. The gender was not told over the phone, but Dad said baby sounded like a Sawyer.

Welcome to the world little man!

Mom was helped to the couch where she rested and snuggled her new baby boy. Big sister's Honey & Bella were eager to meet Sawyer as well.
