A cesarean birth is no less powerful, no less emotional, and no less worthy of being remembered. It is a birth story rooted in courage, medical precision, and a fierce love that brings a child safely into the world. Documenting a C-section birth offers families the opportunity to visually honor that strength, preserving the beauty, vulnerability, and first connections often missed in the moment. Kirsten Lewis is an experienced documentary photographer with a deep understanding of birth in all its forms—including surgical delivery. She works closely with families and care teams to ensure respectful, unobtrusive documentation of cesarean births when permitted by the hospital. From the anticipation in pre-op, to the first glimpse of your baby, and the quiet, intimate moments in recovery, Kirsten captures the full arc of this meaningful experience. These photographs serve as powerful reminders of resilience and love. For mothers, they validate a journey that’s too often minimized. For children, they tell the story of how they arrived—safely, intentionally, and surrounded by love. Kirsten’s images are not just beautiful—they are emotionally rich records of one of the most important days in a family’s life.
