Photographer Hailey McNeal has shared the moving moment she captured a young mum welcoming twin boys into the world. While her husband and son Emerson were present to support the young mother Sarita as she gave birth to Amos and Noah, Hailey snapped a number of touching pictures that she later posted on Facebook.
“It was so peaceful and powerful,” Hailey wrote. “It took me a few days to process all its beauty. She was so calm and gentle and kind.”
She shared: “I sent her tons of screenshots as I was doing the editing and was so happy and in love with the photos.”
To lift his mother’s spirits during the more difficult parts of labor, baby boy Emerson made an appearance in a few warm moments, tenderly kissing her mother’s forehead and cheeks. “There were so many sweet moments,” Hailey said. “Definitely when her son keeps coming to check on her and love her.”
Meanwhile, many mothers have taken to social media to praise Sarita and Hailey for offering a candid glimpse into the birthing process. The images capture significant moments throughout Sarita’s labor, from the early stages when she practices breathing techniques and takes a bath to ease the pain to the twins’ arrival and the couple’s first opportunity to bond with their precious bundles of joy.
When asked about witnessing the momentous occasion for the family, Hailey said she was “trying to find some words” to express how amazing the experience felt.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to let the photos do most of the talking for me on this one, because I’m still trying to find some words that can describe the beauty I saw when Sarita brought her twins into the world,” she wrote alongside an album of the photos, posted on her official Facebook page, WildEye Photography.
“She was peace. Her husband was kind. Her son, Emerson was loving on her. I felt the Holy Spirit there. Sarita was Strong.
“She was surrounded by her birth team who was thinking of every possible detail and was so unbelievably prepared and thorough. Then Amos arrived! I feel tremendously blessed to have been able to document it and share the experience with them.Thank you, Sarita.”
