The post A Practical Guide to Birth Photography appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Lori Peterson. Few things in this world are as joyous as welcoming a new baby. Seeing such a tiny and perfect little human being stirs emotions in everyone. It’s no wonder that there has been a significant rise in the number of photographers offering their services not only for pregnancy and newborn images but also for photographing the birth itself as a way to tell the story of that particular moment in time.
