New Life - Birth Choice

A few weeks ago I had the privileged of documenting a few moments of a great journey in a handful of lives. At Eastside we have partnered with some great local organizations. One of them is Birth Choice. Birth Choice Health Clinics are licensed community clinics offering abortion information, pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, std testing and treatment. From ultra sounds to counseling, free resources and community; Birth Choice is impacting the journey of so many.
A friend of mine, Jessi, asked if I would join one of the clinics and their weekly class to provide portraits. I was happy to document this stage of the pregnancy journey or a new little addition to a family. More than that I was encouraged to see a community of people at different stages providing encouragement to each other, volunteers offering time to resource and support, free supplies like diapers and outfits and more.
Here's a few from our evening:
