A mother photographs her own childbirth and the images are spectacular

Megan Ann Mattiuzzo, 29, is a professional wedding photographer who as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she knew she wanted to capture that special moment herself with her camera. The result is spectacular images taken from an angle that we do not usually see in most birth photos: from the eyes of his mother behind the lens.

She says that in her work she is “used to capturing moments you can’t re-take,” which is why she also wanted to capture the first moments of her newborn son , Easton, when he poked his head out and opened his eyes to the world for the first time.

On March 6, she gave birth to her baby. When they got to the delivery room, her husband, camera in hand, set up, supported Megan as she began to push.

The doctor was consulted by Megan about her crazy idea, and considering that her delivery was low risk, she did not object to her wish. She gave birth with epidural anesthesia, so when the time came, the obstetrician told her that her baby was being born and that was when the mother took her camera to photograph that special moment.

The most special session

The result is this stunning sequence of photos that Megan was kind enough to share with us.

She made sure her camera settings were ready to go so that she could capture the most special moment of her life herself.
