SubscribeWelcome to my new and improved birth photography blog-site! Since my blog is updated every time I photograph a birth I thought that it was silly to have a completely seperate website that never gets any attention ~ from now on this will be where you come to view any new images, look back through the old ones (the gallery) and find info on how I work and how to book me (the FAQ.)
For those of you that haven't been here before, I'm Lynsey Stone, the original DFW birth photographer. I photograph births in the home, hospital or birth center environment all over the DFW metroplex. For those of you who HAVE been here before, it's nice to see you again and I hope you enjoy all the new features! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Since I am starting fresh with a fantastic new blog-site I thought I would show a sample of what is on the old blog! Please don’t forget to check it out if you are thinking of having me photograph your birth ~ there are hundreds of beautiful images over there…
I will keep this post at the top of the page for awhile, so if you are looking for the latest birth shots, you may have to scroll down.

Tori first called me at the beginning of her 3rd pregnancy. She said that she had 1st seen my photography when she was pregnant with her 2nd baby and planning her 1st homebirth. Before she could contact me though, she went into labor and delivered her daughter at 31-32 weeks. Not only did she not get the pictures she wanted, she didn’t get her homebirth either.
With this pregnancy she again planned a homebirth, but was put in the hospital on bedrest for weeks and weeks. When she made it to 36 weeks she was released to go home and have her baby. I was really expecting a call soon after that, but the days passed and I heard nothing from her. Today was her due date, but she gave birth yesterday at home in her bed. She finally got the birth she had been wanting and I am so thrilled for her.

Wednesday night at 10:08 I was driving home from dinner with a friend when I got a phone call from this families midwife saying that we were needed NOW. I turned around immediately thinking about how perfect this was ~ I was already on the road, with my camera and I was closer to their house than I would have been if I was at home! As I drove and talked to the midwife (who was also on her way) though I realized that I was probably going to be cutting it close and started worrying about missing the birth completely. When she was 1 exit away from their house she let me know and I told her to text me if she had time to let me know what was going on. (It is disheartening to try so hard to make it to a birth only to walk in and realize that you missed it, so I just wanted to be able to prepare myself beforehand…) Once she arrived she never texted me and I took that as a bad sign. (If you know me though, you know I take everything as a bad sign.)
I finally pulled into the driveway after what seemed like an eternity of driving, ran into the front door and could hear someone singing “Hallelujah” from down the hall. (This part is very important because last weekend Barbara Harper, the author of “Gentle Birth Choices” and founder of Waterbirth International, did a waterbirth seminar at a local birth center for birth professionals and one of the things she taught was to have these moms “sing their babies out” instead of push them out quickly and forcefully. This clients midwife was very inspired by the seminar and took everything she learned to heart.)
Anyways, back to the birth… I walked into the room and before I could really even process the fact that the baby had not yet been born, the midwife said “Lynsey, head!” and pointed down. I took a picture and as the mom sang “Hallelujah” one last time her daughter was born. The midwife waited for her to reach down and pull the baby up to her chest and as she did she said “It’s just like my dream” over and over. She was laughing and and it was all so LOUD! All I can remember was the laughter! It was so amazing, I don’t ever want to forget the SOUND of that birth.
I am so glad I was there. I made this incredible birth by only 1 minute and the midwife by 10! Here are a few pictures…

March 7, 2010 - 12:00 PM - Beautiful pictures and story!! I am Melissa's sister!! You captured the moment beautifully--thanks!
This mama had been planning a homebirth, but her little stinker baby was trying to be born face first (hence the swollen forehead!) so a cesarean was necessary. Thank goodness for awesome midwives that catch these issues, brave mommies who will do what is needed for their little ones even though it isn’t what they wanted and respectful OBs that still try to make the birth a good experience!

This little guy was born yesterday, on my daughters 8th birthday! He and his mama had to work hard for this birth and I was so impressed and proud of them. I haven’t seen many true posterior deliveries, but his was and his mom handled it like a champ.
Skye, like I told you before I left yesterday, don’t EVER underestimate yourself. You are STRONG.
