Welcome to episode 50 of the MyMaine Birth Podcast! Todays birth story guest is my good friend Kally and she shares about her experience birthing her oldest daughter Iris in a hospital and also about the home birth of her youngest daughter Lois with the incredible care of Sarah Ackerly from Northern Sun Family Healthcare in Topsham.

I have been photographing Kally and her family for a while now, and I am so excited to share this episode with all of you because the birth of her daughter Lois was my first birth as a professional birth photographer. I had attended several births as a doula before then but this was my first birth with my new camera and using a flash in the birth space.

When Lois was born I was in the middle of training to become a certified birth photographer and it was a good thing too because I was prepared. Kally gave birth in the middle of the night and the only other light available besides some small LED candles was her midwives flashlight.
