These are absolutely beautiful. You managed to capture the feelings of the moment and documented this wonderfully. I'm sure your friends are thrilled!

Beautiful set! So much emotion. I love the last one (how could you not?) and the image with her resting and the crosses in the background.

I really like the series. I looked at the pics from my first childs birth last month and they were terrible. Granted I was worried about a few things at the time

Wow, what an amazing series. I thoroughly enjoyed these images.

I REALLY like the first one. It's a great concept, and a very powerful photograph.
