Fortunately the reward was equally extreme&#8211;seeing this couple&#8217;s joy when they finally gave birth to their first baby, a boy they&#8217;ll be calling Buster, all the releif and the outpoaring of love, it was amazing to be present and I felt so happy to be able to be there documenting it in photographs. I know they will be amazed to look at and remember all the work they did to get this boy out into the world.
