…: welcome, baby Alan :… OHSU birth photographer, Portland OR

I met Helene for the first time when she was around 38 weeks pregnant. In a coffee shop in downtown Portland, towards the end of the first time I met Helene, I remember asking her: “Do you believe in your heart you are going to go home with a baby?”  To which she responded: “No.” […]
