Last week was a whirlwind! A client's extraordinary second VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) unfolded in the most unexpected location: the backseat of their family's SUV, right outside Boca Raton Regional Hospital's Toppel Family Place. The media frenzy that followed has sparked important conversations about birth choices and the power of professional birth photography.

As a dedicated birth photographer, my primary focus is always on my clients and their sacred birth journeys. I adhere to the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers' (IAPBP) code of ethics, prioritizing respect, privacy, and non-interference during labor and delivery.

How a Private Birth Story Became National News

This birth was undeniably unique. Babies aren't born in car backseats every day! When media outlets reached out, my client and I had a crucial conversation. It was her choice to share her story, a decision rooted in her belief that Birth Matters.

Birth Matters: Empowering Women's Choices

Every woman deserves an informed and empowered birth experience. Paula's VBAC journey highlights the importance of finding supportive providers and building a birth team that trusts and respects a mother's wishes.

Challenging the Status Quo: VBAC Awareness

Paula's story isn't just about one birth; it's a call for change. By sharing her experience, she's advocating for VBAC awareness and empowering women to make informed choices about their births, even when those choices defy conventional norms.

“No matter what kind of birth you want, it should be your decision at the end of the day. Birth is beautiful and should never be turned into a traumatic event. For me sharing my story was definitely for vbac awareness, know that vbacs are safe and very much doable!”

— Paula, Greenacres, FL birth client

A Global Conversation: Media Coverage

Paula's story resonated worldwide, with over 30 media outlets sharing her powerful birth experience. This viral moment has ignited a conversation about respecting birthing mothers and supporting their choices.
