A quick-acting dad helped deliver his own baby daughter, after she arrived in a hurry just as nurses stepped out of the delivery suite.And photographer Jennifer Mason was there to capture the incredible moment.

“We knew her birth was going to be be unique when she went into labor just shy of 35 weeks, but we never expected dad to catch baby himself in the hospital room with no one around!” Jennifer explained.

After (finally) getting into her room, the nurses stepped out for supplies. Mom had a strong contraction and yelled, “the baby’s head is out!” She was born into moms mesh underwear and her fathers hands in the hospital room alone! Baby girl let out a scream and we all knew she was good! Birth happens best when we are uninterrupted.
