I love Maggie. She is an amazing person. Last year I had the honor of photographing her son's birth (you can see images from that birth on my website in my portfolio... click on "birth"), and this year I got to do it all over again when she welcomed her second son (and sixth child!!).
The little guy was quite comfy inside mom... she is pretty sure she was at least 2 weeks past her due date. Fortunately that didn't keep her from smiling...
Maggie's plan was to labor in the tub (like last time) and then deliver on the stool just outside the tub...
Her husband Allen was as supportive as ever, staying by her side throughout labor.
Then when she was fully dilated and it came time to push, the contractions would not stop - and next thing she knew, she was pushing in the water...
And baby Ransom was born.
There was a bit of an audience to welcome the little guy... 
who was absolutely adorable and squishy!
And once again, their hearts grew as they marveled in their beautiful creation...
The time was just before 3 am... and this little guy was pretty exhausted.
Welcome to the world, little guy!
... and in the end, Maggie was all smiles again. Congratulations Maggie and Allen! And thank you, once again, for letting me be a part of your amazing day.
