Professional book of birth photos? Does one exist?

[treehugginhippie]

I'm looking for a book that would have photos from natural birth settings like birth center or homebirths. Pics of moms in labor. Pics of the birth. Pics of the newborn. Big beautiful color or black/white photographs. Does such a book exist?

I have never heard of one but I think its a great idea. I would love to see/buy one.

There is a book I have wanted but haven't gotten yet. It is called, "Brought to Earth by Birth" by Harriette Hartigan. It is all black and white birth and baby photographs, I heard about it from Midwifery Today. Here is a link to it on Midwifery Today (you can also see some photos if you click excerpts). http://www.midwiferytoday.com/books/BirthPhotos.asp

However, it is not strictly homebirth and birth centers births (from looking at the reviews). I still want it though!
