You're probably thinking that these pictures will be one of a cat giving birth... well, you are wrong! To show off her amazing photography skills and to let the world know she also shoots births, Elizabeth Woods- Darby, aka Barefootinthefog, captured her friends special moments with her cat...
Woods-Darby stated on her websit, "I had the sweet (and hilarious) honor of photographing the beginnings of a brand new family on Friday. This little man was adopted from Soul Dog Rescue. He is 22" long, 6 pounds 7 oz and man is he the sweetest cuddler. Thanks to Lucy Schultz for trusting me to be there to capture these special first moments[...]As a photographer and videographer, capturing birth and those raw first moments as a family, are incredibly rewarding. Although this shoot was unconventional, I've always been impacted by the beauty and raw strength of birth and adoption."
