“We made it just through the doors.
I said, ‘Travis, this is it. He’s here. You have to catch him. And he looked and he realized I was right. I could feel his head crowning with my hand, and he reached in without hesitation. I pushed one time and my body did the rest.
And there he was, right there in the emergency room floor. She gently pulled him up to my chest and I just remember my husband putting his hand on my shoulder and eventually grabbing a towel to slide up under my head because he was worried about me being uncomfortable.
That man is amazing. He is the best father and the best husband and I don’t know what I would have done without him that day.
I remember settling in and thinking, ‘This really happened. He’s on my chest. We just had a baby within five minutes of being inside the hospital.’ We had our five sweet, sweet daughters come in and they were so excited. This was the first boy for us and they were unsure, but the moment they laid eyes on him it was just perfection.
Karin said she loves capturing births, adding: “I have this incredible opportunity to capture women at their strongest and men when they are the most in love.
A woman in labour made it to hospital just in the nick of time, but she didn’t quite make it to the delivery room before her baby was born.
The fast birth would have been a whirlwind for Jes Hogan, but thankfully her birth photographer, Tammy Karin, from Little Leapling Photography in Kansas, US, captured the moment she gave birth in the hospital hallway on camera.
