Talbot Creek Midwives

On April 17, 2010, Trish had the honour of photographing the birth of Kristy and Chris’ son, Thomas Clarke. Kristy and Chris are 2008 wedding clients (married at the McMichael Gallery) that we love and were thrilled when they asked Trish to do her Bellies and Babies sessions with them (coming soon to the blog). We suggested they consider Birth Photography also to fully capture the whole experience from Maternity to Delivery to Newborn photos. They now have an incredible coffee table book of their delivery to compliment their wedding album that have both recorded the beginnings of their new family legacy. With all that goes on during a birth, an album like this truly captures the emotions involved. You can’t help but feel the love and pain both Chris and Kristy felt during her very long labour and delivery of Thomas.

Kristy and Chris choose to use the services of the Talbot Creek Midwives and did the delivery at the St. Thomas Hospital. Their midwife was Janet along with Student Midwife, Kate.

I have to mention, Trish and I used the services of the Stratford Midwives for both of our boy’s deliveries. It is a great experience and the pre-delivery and follow up care is remarkable.

The following images are the 20 pages from their Debut of Life album for Thomas. If you are interested in a similar photographic recording of your babies delivery please contact the studio for more information. We are available for both hospital and home births.

Thank you Kristy and Chris for letting us share in some of the most special and intimate moments of your life. The question now is, what’s the biggest day of your life? The day you got married or the birth of your son?

Every Mom has her own “Birth Story”. For me, the memory that will always remain is the smell of burgers and fries. You see, a good friend of ours delivered dinner to us at the hospital, and between contractions, my husband was enjoying his dinner before it got cold. I’m sure it was the smell that coaxed Sterling, our carnivore, out. To this day he loves his burger and fries! Funny that wedding clients of ours, that own the Stratford Boston Pizza, kept the tradition alive and sent 4 pizzas for Tristan’s birth to the hospital when they heard we were enroute. Fortunately, Tristan arrived before the Pizzas did so I got to enjoy a warm dinner. Tristan must have smelled the pizzas coming down the hall!

Kim, it’s hard to believe that 7 months has past since I photographed the debut of your twins, Callum and Ava, April 6, 2009. I thought I would share with our Custom Concept Photography family the precious images from their “birth story” that I was invited to capture. Here are the pages from the album Custom Concept Photography created for them to look back on during their lives. I can’t wait to photograph Ava and Callum next week.

Thank you for allowing me to record your “Birth Story”. I’m sure you will fondly remember Andrew texting to keep the family up to date during the delivery.
