Kristin Waner, a photographer based in Odessa, Texas, specializing in newborn, birth, and maternity photography, considers herself lucky to have witnessed the one-of-a-kind birth session of Brooke Ellington who had a special doula, a corgi named Ranger.
Brooke’s Family holds a special place in Kristin’s heart, since this was’t the first time she’s photographed Brooke during labor and giving birth. The previous time there was Ryder, Brooke’s Corgi, assisting her like a doula during the birth of her first child Boyd, while this time it was the turn of Ranger the Corgi to assist Brooke during the birth of Berkeley.
All throughout these difficult moments, Kristin witnessed in first person Ranger being by his mom’s side, comforting her during labor and birth pains
Just like Ryder, Ranger would show his love and care by letting Brooke hug him, kiss him, and just provide a calming presence for Brooke whenever she had contractions.
From the bed, to the birthing tub, until he finally got to see his human sister, Ranger made sure he was doing his best to support for the family being a good boy.
Luckily, Kristin took as many pictures as she could of such a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and now we can all get a glimpse of how it’s like to have a Corgi as a doula
