A couple months ago I was invited to coffee with one of our city’s birth photographers, Jackie Parr-Akiona. As we visited – and it was such a lovely visit, as Jackie is a pure joy – she birthed the idea of a film interview explaining a bit about homebirth. Initially, she wanted to interview me, but I wondered if we ought to rustle up a few clients instead, for who could be better at explaining why they chose homebirth than those who actually did?
Join us today as the Olivero and Halsmith family describe their experiences birthing at home!
