*tears*

Congrats! Beautiful.

welllll sheeeez….I’m bawling my eyes out!! AMAZING STORY!

In a puddle of tears over here. Those are BEAUTIFUL!

The pictures of you and Mike holding August are adorable. My Goddaughter just turned 3 and she is becoming a big sister today! Being a Godmother is THE BEST.

WOW! Stunning images! Very hard to watch without crying. What a beautiful day you captured for this very special family. PS. Bobbi you look gorgeous in the photo of you and Baby August!

What beautiful pictures and an even more beautiful family!!! Congrats to them and to the new godparents:)

that slideshow is priceless, great music
I love the shot of the big sister kissing her head, amazing, blow that up and put it in the baby room

this made me cry, how precious these images are!

I am a huge fan of your photography~ thank you for sharing!

Wow, that was amazing. I am just speechless. What a journey to capture!

So so beautiful. I teared up. My brother just had a baby 4 days ago. I was going to photograph it, but they went into labor the one day I had to second shoot a wedding. Bobbi you did an amazing job!

Beautiful Bobbi…..so moving.

so beautiful!!

such an incredible and emotional journey aint it? you did a magnificent job!! and I especially love the last two :*)

i started tearing up at the damn flashcards! it didnt stop. beautiful

So amazing. The beauty of the mother through the pain just took my breath away. Gorgeous family, gorgeous images. Congratulations, godparents! 🙂

Ok…I’m leaving another comment. when I left the previous one, I hadn’t watched the slideshow yet. I have never been a fan of video/cameras in the delivery room (with the exception of photographing the baby) but this just changed my mind. These are STUNNING. It’s very rare that you capture “love at first sight” on film.

Congratulations! You look so content holding that little one.

Just breathtaking…nicely done!

tears welling up… what a beautiful thing to capture. Life is such an amazing miracle. It makes my heart yearn for the day when I can experience this too! I believe this is your best work- what a treasure!

these photos, as usual, are magical. even through the obvious pain, it makes me so excited to experience birth myself. bravo.

Simply breathtaking.
There is nothing like watching new life be born. Makes you really look at the world differently, and you brought all those emotions and love into your images. ♥

beautiful story and images! congrats to all! (and Bobbi — seriously gorgeous of you and miss august!)

OH MY! Absolutely amazing!!

Bobbi, I have been a fan of yours for a long time, for many reasons. I have followed along with the healthy train and been inspired to change my life as well. I have always thought that you were so adorable and would be so fun to know – that smile of yours is contagious. BUT – that last image of you absolutely takes my breath! So sweet & serene and so very, very authentic. YOU ARE STUNNING!!

I’m in complete awe right now. As an expectant father that just took me on a whole other journey of emotions. Wonderful job! Thank you so much for sharing and congrats to the whole family.

Wow! I just had a baby, naturally, in July and I cried watching this becuase I just went through it. I wish I had someone photograph the story for me. these images are beautiful and really put you there. I think I am going to do this next time.

timeless photos, great job bobbi…and now i’m guessing you will go natural too so that you can have the same wonderful experience with mikey, no? 😉 congratulations ryan and andrea!

Amazing. Made me cry.

I cried. wow.

so precious! and definitely the highlight of your year! congrats to the family and to the new godparents! thanks for sharing the video and taking the time to put it together – i’ve never seen anything like it!

Wow these images are breathtaking! You guys did an amazing job! What a beautiful family!

Every child begins the world again. — Henry David Thoreau

Perfect friend, just perfect.

I Have been following your blog for awhile and this is the first time that I cried. Amazingly beautiful!

Amazing! What an amazing way to use your gifts. Mom and baby will treasure your images forever!

These just almost knocked me out of my chair…truly amazing. They made me want to have a baby and I don’t even have a boyfriend. You are an ultimate dynamic duo and you have inspired me as a photographer in ways that I can’t even explain. THANK YOU!

WOW! You SHOULD be proud Bobbi! I was bawling only 5 images into these!! aaamazingness! They are all so beautiful! I would love to do something like this someday 🙂

Oh holy cow! These are stunning, moving, and beautiful. They are also so…emotional. How do you do it? And Andrea, so powerful and full of grace. I’m amazed. Congrats to all!

LOVE this. so sweet. and.. i must say i love your big grin BUT you look so at peace at the end with your godbaby in your arms with that “ahhhh happiness calm smile” 🙂 congrats to all of you!

there is an amazing amount of emotion in these images. awesome job guys! beautiful. just beautiful.

oh and bobbi, you look great! keep up the good work 😉

What an amazing gift you gave Ryan and Andrea. These photos are breathtaking! Congrats!!

Do you know how good you are? Do you know? Your heart comes out in every image you take; the love you have for your friends shines in these images. After having 2 natural childbirths myself, this slideshow brought back so many emotions and memories….and I was also so thankful to have had a friend present to record each moment. The gift you have given them is immeasurable! To this gorgeous family: congrats on a beautiful birth and best wishes to you all!

These are so beautiful and something that they will all cherish forever. They *almost* made me want to have another baby.

I’ve been a faithful reader for years and I love all your posts…but this one…WOW. Maybe it’s my own pregnancy hormones but I think this is the best work that you have ever done. Congrats to Ryan and Andrea from their friends at IU Rec Sports.

Great images. So, Bobbi, how does this compare to your weddings? Do you see yourself in the future doing more delivery shoots? After posting this beautiful story, I can definitely see many expectant mothers knocking on your door.

<3 steph

Absolutely AHHH-MAZING! I want to have another baby so you can come photograph the birth. You two have such a talent that is beyond any words. Congrats on godparent status too. 🙂

These were beautiful! 🙂 I love birth photography, you did an amazing job! 🙂

I don’t normally comment, but I can’t keep my mouth shut about these. What an amazingly emotional, passionate, sacred event, captured with such care and dignity. I was in tears from start to finish. This family is blessed to know you — what a beautiful gift you’ve given them. Congratulations.

Simply AWEsome!! Took my breath away!

just beautiful! a great visual storyteller!

Made me cry…you captured something so special and beautiful. Thank you. congrats to everyone.

All I can say is…I don’t know these people, but after watching this slide show, I feel as if I do. These photos are so intimate and so filled with emotion. (I love the note cards.) Also, I’m crying like it’s my baby being born! So, amazing doesn’t cover these pictures guys!! You never disappoint! 🙂

Lush, gorgeous images as always, full of story, heart, and place.

Oh wow. Chills and tears is the only way I can describe how I feel when I look at these photos. My pregnancy hormones are kickin waaaaay in! Beautiful, Bobbi and Mike. You have outdone yourselves by a mile this time.

Incredible….so beautiful. What an experience for you two, and the most special gift imaginable for this family.

Unbelievable. An amazing mom + your amazing images = perfection! A huge congrats to you, Mike, and August’s family!

what an incredible experience to capture so wonderfully…wow.

im a HUGE fan of yours… im always checking out your work and just fall in love with it everytime… but im not much of a commenter, lol
but i had to this time… i think you are so beautiful bobbie, but i have never seen you look so beautiful as you do holding that baby 🙂

these are amazing – such emotion captured so beautifully! welcome to the world august rose! and congrats bb+mk on godparents!

amazing… simply amazing…

What a gift to them Bobbi!!! You’ve got this pregnant woman in tears! And to top off the slideshow…the photo with Addi?!!! I’m a mess, in a good way. August is so blessed to have Andrea and Ryan as parents…they are just amazing! And of course to have you guys as godparents!

So good, seriously so incredible good. This is capturing life in a whole new way for you guys 🙂 and I LOVE this so much and I have to agree with someone else who posted, that last image of you, WOW, gorgeous!!!

There’s nothing more magical than the first few days between Mommy Daddy and new baby. Love them 🙂

I don’t know anyone else who puts this much heart and soul into their photography. Beautiful…absolutely beautiful.

These pictures make me want to have another baby! What an amazing experience it must have been for you. My favorites are the pictures of her nursing August Rose for the first time, and you holding the baby. What a wonderful thing to have these pictures of her birth.

perfect.

Beautiful!

Come on, now, with that ridiculousness. Seriously gorgeous and what a great gift you’ve given them. I was furious at Rich for running around the hospital room taking photos instead of holding my foot like a good husband, but the minute I saw the shots from then, I knew they’d be some of the most important I’d ever had. Gorgeous and congratulations!

well done, you chose the perfect music to compliment the beautiful birth story! Congrats on being godparents! Hope you pencil her in from the start. The best thing you can give babies & children is your time! 🙂

That is amazing!!! Bobbi you look absolutely gorgeous holding the little one 🙂 Proud godparents 🙂

Amazing! You are such a wonderful and giving friend, the people in your life are very lucky to have you! Congratulations to everyone!

This brought up so many memories and emotions that I didn’t realize are still so raw, having gone through childbirth almost one year ago. Amazing work, once again, Bobbi. You captured so many of the most important moments. Wish you had been there for ours!

wow Bobbi, this is amazing. What a beautiful set of images. These parents will cherish these forever.

Made my cry… Bobbi, they are simply beautiful and I can see your heart in the images. Truly special…. magical.

Absolutely gorgeous, Bobbi. Not much else to say. 🙂

absolutely utterly beautiful…. 😉

I cried when I saw the wedding pictures you took of them and now I’m crying seeing the baby pictures. (I’m not stalking them, I’m friends of her mom & aunt)

There are only a few of these moments, tiny fragments of time so pure that the world instantly reinvents, resets, enriches itself. It takes a special kind of artist to do these experiences justice, to share a story so powerful that everything either happened before or after this moment. Bobbi and Mike: Thank you a million times for sharing your love, talent, souls and passion with us. You have always been family, now it is just official.

I never cease to be amazed at the miracle of new life. You all captured it so beautifully!! They explode with love…
Congrats to the new parents!!!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL images!!! and That last picture of you Bobbi is stunning!

I think my womb contacted when looking at her in labor. And only a new baby can make people smile so big. Congrats to everyone.

Beautiful!! And can I just say I love that last picture of you! It has a quiet fierceness about it…

This is amazing! These photos were amazing. Beautiful. You captured wonderful moments. The love and support between the couple is so clear and vivid. The first photo with her holding her baby made me tear up. Thank you for sharing these with all of us, thanks to the brave parents for letting everyone see such an intimate moment of theirs… AMAZING

OH MY GOSH, she looks STUNNING all the way though giving birth…this is INCREDIBLE. So beautiful.

I love that you used black and white. During labor, it kind of seems like everything is in black and white and in slow motion…these images really took me back to my own experience. SO beautiful. What a wonderful gift you have given them. And what a SMOOSHY baby!! 🙂

so beautiful. i’m totally in tears..

You know I love this and just posted it on Facebook. But just had to chime in and say how blessed I feel to have gotten to see their story through your eyes.

Love everyone in this show!!!!

Welcome baby August!!! Love you Hunley fam!

Seriously these are amazing. They will cherish these forever I am sure. I love that they are in B&W it just cuts right to the emotion. The two pictures of each of you at the end are lovely too. Bobbi you are a beautiful godmother.

Oh, my god! Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this moment with us! I am at work now (yeah, I know…) and it’s hard to see it without getting teary-eyed… It’s amazing to see such a sweet look in your eyes… Thank you again, and congratulations, Andrea, you are my idol!!

HOLY SHIT!! You are so the real deal.

Oh my, I’m on my third watch of the slideshow……I’m due in two weeks with bump number three. You have captured it perfectly, the pain, the emotion and especially the love. Well done Mummy and Daddy and to you the godparents. I love your weddings but this surpasses them all. Denise

bobbi, that slideshow is absolutely amazing!

Oh wow–what a moving collection of images, and a beautiful baby girl 🙂

Just incredible, emotional, painful, hard, beautiful, amazing. You have to fight for the best things in life, and thats what you showed here… a baby is the best thing 🙂

Oh that is an amazing show. What a special treasure!!

SOOOOO Beautiful! My husband is going to be mad at you for giving me a case of baby fever, haha. Seriously though, this slideshow was so full of emotion. Amazing job … and that baby is ADORABLE!

Oh my! I work as a nurse in labor and delivery, and these are the most beautiful photos! And kuddos to that husband who was there beside his wife’s side the whole time! Back massage and all 🙂 Love your work Bobbi and Mike 🙂 Thanks for this post!

Out of this world amazing.
Not only were the photographs just perfection, but you chose music (the last two songs) that are so near and dear to my heart. Have been in my life for many years – and I just sat here sobbing as I watched. I haven’t heard them in a long time, I am so happy they will be in my life again.
Amazing.

it is just amazing…. i too recently had the honor of photographing a birth. one of the highlights of my life.
christine

So I have watched this a few times now and it does the same thing to my heart every time, wells up so big it could explode. I love these photos, I love this love. I also love that she has my doctor so for some reason it makes my heart feel like all will be well for me in the future too…. and today that’s a blessing for my heart 🙂

how seriously beautiful. thanks for sharing.

OMG! These pictures gave me chills. What’s more, are the expressions! I could feel the labor. I cried with happiness at watching the picture show. The music was so appropriate. Fit like a glove. Bobbi, you and Mike are just so extraordinary, it’s unbelievable. Congrats to the parents, their families and especially the godparents.
PS You both look great holding the baby. So very natural!

I have 5 kids. My last was finally the natural childbirth I wanted. The emotions and sensations you caught bring back exacts memories from 4 months ago. What a blessing and honor for you to have shared in an amazing event like this. There is nothing more beautiful than the experience of this life process. And…you and Mike look ready to have one yourself 🙂

Simply amazing…

Simply Beautiful. A very precious memory captured.

Bobbi! These made me cry. I can’t wait till that’s me one day. And might I add that you look absolutely breathtaking in that last shot!

What a beautiful story and documentation of the gift of life. You have given this family the most precious gift. What a blessing this child is. And I love the black and white.

What beautiful pictures. Sigh. So lovely. And I dare say Mike looks adorable holding a baby and Bobbi, you look gorgeous in that picture on the right. Gorg!

Stunning images. I was a total, complete puddle watching that slideshow. You couldn’t have captured the raw energy of child birth any better than that – seriously amazing images! Watching her husband apply counter pressure during labor reminded me of my own labor!! Congrats to the new parents – she’s beautiful!

Unbelievable! I’m speechless. You gave them the best gift you can give a parent. Great job!

Loved every picture. This was breathtaking.

That was a beautiful, intense and emotional slideshow! Nicely done! Love that first song too!

P.S. – Holy hotness on the right there Bobbi! You look awesome in that picture!

aw bobbi you did such a wonderful job. babies are the besssst! 🙂 how excited that you got to be there during such a special time!!

Bobbi- I rarely ever comment but I follow you religiously. I know that you are always self-conscious with the healthy train and all that jazz, but not only are you doing an amazing job with your crazy busy job, but also?

THAT PICTURE OF YOU WITH THE BABY AT THE END OF THE POST?! HOLY CRAP ON TOAST YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL. i mean, don’t be self-conscious. not only would most people DIE to have red hair (at any shade), but it wouldn’t look good on most of us. Not only does it suit you, but you personify it. You wear that hair, and not vice versa. AND ALSO- THAT PICTURE IS BEAUTIFUL! let me say it again. STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL Godmother.

And also, they couldn’t be a more gorgeous family. They’re one of those families that you see loving each other and almost weep.

Oh my, that was beautiful. I guess I needed a good cry tonight!

Bobbi, I am bawling over that beautiful amazingness! You are so amazing. Birth is so amazing. I love it! I just wish that I lived closer to you so that you could be there when it is my turn.

P.S. You look gorgeous!

This was amazing. I cried it is so beautiful. This family is clearly a wonderful family and you did such a fantastic job of capturing this birth so beautifully. It is just so awesome!

More! More! I was crying at the first pic. You are so special, Bobbi and Mike 🙂

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Birthstories are addicting!!! 😀 I love them all–big HUGS!!

P.S…can I first off say you look so young in that pic Bobbi!! Secondly–I’m thinking you guys look like natural’s holding a wee one! 😉

i too, cried my little eyes out.

simply beautiful in sooooo many ways! fantastic work!!!! <3

this is overwhelmingly beautiful. *sigh*

I’m a huge follower but not a big commenter but I couldn’t not on this. Wow. You’ve documented this just so beautifully, not just their love and determination but with yours also. What an amazing gift. Bobbi, you’ve touched a LOT of hearts today. You’re just beautiful. Don’t forget it. 🙂

I can feel her contractions! Truly a beautiful experience. I’m glad you got to be there. While I do not love labor pains, I do love the product and your photos make me excited to meet my last baby, and they make me dread the pain 🙂 Congratulations to August’s mommy and daddy and godparents!

strong women. may we know them.
may we raise them. may we be them.

breathtaking images. breathtaking experience.

Simply…wow.

wow.

stunning and amazing…

I am going to show this to my Goddaughter’s parents and beg them to allow me to photograph their next baby’s arrival.

Wow, so amazing, so beautiful, they will cherish this gift! Truly amazing!!! Congratulations to the adorable family, and to you, Godparents! August is so incredibly blessed!

simply beautiful. the parents, the journey, the precious new life, the images and the love that is so evident through it all. congratulations hunley’s, she’s perfect.

this totally took me back to when i captured my sister’s birth. what a life changing thins to capture, huh? love to you all!

All I can say is…. AMAZING!!! I was fighting back tears, witnessing a birth is such an emotional event and as usual, you guys captured it perfectly.

Long-time follower; it is through tear filled eyes that I make my first comment ever to this blog. Your photos of this entire life-changing event are intimate yet tastefully done. The endurance, the pain, and the sheer joy that everyone experienced was evident through your photos. I am two and a half months pregnant, and seeing these photos made me eager to meet my child more than ever.

Kristi

Beautiful Bobbi! Absolutley Beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes as I watched this. Congratulations to the parents and, of course, to the new godparents!

wow…so powerful and amazing and beautiful and totally perfect.

Absolutely beautiful images!

What incredibly intimate pictures to share. I felt like I was right there. The mom is definately a warrior woman. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she was through the whole process. Thanks for the private moments, it was one of the most moving things I have ever seen.

Soooo I’ve watched a couple times and I keep getting teary-eyed…these are beyond awesome!

As I sit here crying, I have to say that this is the most beautiful birth experience I have ever seen on film. Bobbi, I am so glad that you have such an awesome relationship with Andrea and Ryan that they would share August Rose’s “Birth”day with you. I so want to be a Grandma.

Congratulations Andrea and Ryan.

Happy Birthday August Rose.

And a special hello to her Godparents, Bobbi and Mikey.

I cannot wait to see the August. Live and in person.

Love you,

Momba

such a precious family, and such a beautiful story. simply magnificent, Bobbi. blessings, jesh *

i just wanted to say that this was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. i teared up as soon as you could tell it was “time.” this is what i wanted for the birth of my son, but i actually told my husband to stop it with the camera! haha you guys are amazing and i felt like i was right there, too. 🙂

speechless. i’ve never seen anything quite so beautiful. wonderful, inspiring work.

Bobbi,
Beautiful witness to an amazing event…the photo of you holding her is hands down the best photograph I have seen of you. Serenity:)

AMAZING. truly. as a labor and delivery nurse and a photographer, i don’t feel like you could have captured this any better. just perfect.

incredible. amazing. {tears}

priceless!

there are seriously no words. They are very lucky to have such a gift. The last two pictures of you and Mikey holding her – goosebumps x1000000

Capturing a miracle! Fantastic Bobbi and Mike!

Amazing, Bobbi! You must be so proud of that precious little god daughter.

ummmmmm, I totally cried on this one!! Especially since we will be celebrating our new little one in two and a half months! Now I am even more excited and impatient!!! Awesome job guys!!!

This photo shoot was AMAZING! So beautiful!
And Bobbi, you look so pretty in that last pic!! 🙂

I love, LOVE birth photos…maybe because I love giving birth. Gah! So amazing. You both have the most tender expressions in those last 2 photos. And Bobbi, you are a pretty lady. For reals.

(And your comment on my blog made my and husband’s week!)

Tears….happy tears. =) These are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing!

Makes me want another baby!!

Just beautiful images, one right after the other. The picture of you holding the baby is just breathtaking.

Beautiful photo story.Thanks for sharing.

i don’t think you could have done a better job capturing the whole thing. little august rose is so lucky to have her story documented by you guys.. especially as her godparents! 🙂

the hug between her and her dad(?) i lost it. also, how incredible is the daddy trying to ease her discomfort. that’s a good man right there. what a beautiful & blessed event you captured perfectly.

AHHHHH!~ Bobbi, that that last image- of you. Is the best shot I have ever seen of you! So effortlessly beautiful. 🙂

I was able to photograph the birth of my friend’s baby girl this past spring. It was to be a home birth that ended at the hospital with a C-section, but a healthy family. I was with them for over thirty-two hours and I think it might just be the highlight of my year. Wonderful photos, you two. Congrats all around.

that was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen! what a TREASURE!!! and I totally agree that the last picture of you amazing!

Andrea and Ryan are so beautiful together. You can see that connection that was so evident all those years ago, is stronger than ever. Gives me massive goosebumps.

Bobbi, your work here is just stunning. You have absolutely captured the amazing beauty of a woman giving birth.

Please give my congrats to the beautiful family. I am so very, very happy for them!! She is GORGEOUS, just like her parents!

I have watched birth story slide shows before and I must say that this family’s story has touched me the most and brought tears to my eyes. I love the way they are in it together every step of the way and Dad is there with Mom from the tub to the hospital bed, literally!

What a beautiful relationship they have and what a lucky baby to have parents that love each other so much. Imagine the love their little one will be blessed with!

Beautiful and amazing photographs!

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!
My husband and I found out we’re expecting our 2nd little one and this made me that much more thrilled about it!
CONGRATS!

Wow this is absolutely phenomenal!! great work!

I just recently found your site through a friend’s recommendation. Last night I was LOST in it……loving all your pictures, your funny comments, the joy that you have in your “job.” This morning I came back for more and came on this post and I am now in a puddle of tears! The beauty and emotion of this photo session are simply stunning. I cannot even imagine the how the family feels when they look at these. Absolutely *priceless* pictures. Well done!!!

Breathtaking. This has to be the most beautiful birthing experience I’ve ever seen documented. Amazing job capturing such an important event.

Bobbi- I just watched this again, with tears streaming down my face the whole time… so beautiful, breathtaking, such a miraculous event captured flawlessly… oh my baby in my belly is dancing at the thought of the excitement of being born 🙂 Thank you for being amazing as always!

i just watched this again… i love it. so. much. i love it even more now that i’ve met ryan. and you for that matter. so touching.
again, you’re amaze.
and she was born on my 30th birthday.. good girl. =) xoJB

This is beautiful. What a gift to have these pictures.

This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I have joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!

watching this for the first time after my own birth of Ezra and can I just say you captured it so incredibly perfectly, beautifully, so much emotion- so much pain- but completely erased with pure joy! Wow!

I just flipped through these photos with tears of joy shedding the entire time. Thank you so much for sharing! I am currently 17 weeks along with my fourth and final child and had been considering hiring a professional photographer. This was the deal sealer.

[…] Amazing Birth Photography […]

Is this the girl from that “worry about yourself” video you posted???

Adorbs ❤️

I remember the images from the birth!! Also the wedding and the family sessions. The ice cream shot at the diner is one of my all time favs. I love this family!

No WAY she’s six!! She’s so cool! And beautiful 🙂

i cried here!! Thanks a lot bobbi !!!!!
