What if you could show those moments to your child as they grow, so that they might always know and reflect on the love you’ve had for them, from the moment they were born?

 Elizabeth Dahl Photography immortalized the love of this family in a short film about the birth of their fist child, Kayleigh Mae.

What if your parents had been able to capture something like this from your own birth?
How would that impact your life today?

You can view more photography from this birth in the following slideshow:

And watch this couple’s review, here!

But when these little girls were born 2 months early, I simply wasn’t able to be there. I was happy to welcome them home with this photo shoot!

So blessed to be able to witness these moments.

This was my first birth with a mother who was using the hypnobabies technique.  She did a great job!! I was very impressed.

Before I start offering this additional service to my clients, could you do me a favor? Could you let me know what YOU think of the following video?

Is it worthwhile, is it moving…is it something you might want for yourself? Constructive criticism is so helpful to me at this stage in the game…so thanks you guys, I really appreciate it!!

This was an incredible birth… :-)

This is simply Life in the Dahl’s Front Yard.

Byron wanted to cross the street, but Debbie wouldn’t let him

He was a little frustrated.  Debbie keeps a good grip!

Debbie: “Help!!!

Byron: “Aaaaaahhh!!”

 Dad to the rescue?
Byron: “What the heck, mom? ”
Daddy successfully distracts Byron from his Street-Quest.
But now it’s time for a new adventure.
 Join us again sometime for more Adventures of Debbie & Byron!

(or those who would like to be) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EDahlPhotography/~3/06GETYj82Ao/ http://www.edahlphotography.com/?p=2404#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 20:10:38 +0000 Elizabeth Dahl http://www.edahlphotography.com/?p=2404 I just wanted to put the word out – we will be having a MN Birth Photographers meeting this weekend, and *anyone interested in birth photography* should contact me for an invite.  We will be meeting Saturday at 6:30PM in Crystal, MN.

We are working on some changes in our organization to benefit birth photographers worldwide – not just those here in Minnesota.  We want to help photographers with their businesses and uphold a standard of excellence for birth photography at large.  And of course – its just super fun to get together with other photogs who love birth! The support and inspiration has been invaluable to me. :-)

If you have not yet done so, check out the website and facebook page to learn more about MN Birth Photographers.

And as a little teaser…check out this lovely mama + newborn picture I was able to capture the other night.  I can hardly wait to finish up the editing, so I can share more!

…3 gorgeous ladies!!


Mother-daughter portrait sessions are the BEST.  These girls had so much fun helping their mom get styled, not to mention the pampering they got for themselves.  The chatting, laughing, (and this time, *dancing*) that occurs during the creation process is just priceless.  I love photographing great memories, but even more I love to help MAKE GREAT MEMORIES! :-)
