Photographer captures enchanting photos of babies seconds after they’re born

"I have the most rewarding job ever!”

A midwife-turned-photographer has made a name for herself by capturing enchanting portraits of babies just seconds after they’re born.

Marry Fermont, 35, is a professional birth photographer whose speciality includes snapping the perfect photo of babies before they have even realised they’re out of the womb.

“The most rewarding part is that I’m allowed to be part of one of the most beautiful moments in life,” Marry told The Mirror, “When parents receive the photos they are so grateful.”

“I have the most rewarding job ever,” said Marry.

“The most difficult part is that you are always on call. It affects your whole life and your lifestyle,” she said of her ‘stand-by’ lifestyle, “You can never go far away from home, you can’t drink alcohol and you always have to keep in mind that you might have to go to document a birth.”

“But having said that, it’s worth it.”

We think so, too.
