Last July, Jes Hogan, a mother from Manhattan, Kansas, welcomed her sixth child into the world—a precious baby boy whom she affectionately named Maxwell. The significance of the number six extended beyond just the addition to their family. It took an extraordinary six days from the onset of Jes’s contractions for Maxwell to finally arrive, although it wasn’t until the morning of his birth that her delivery truly began to progress.
When Maxwell was ready, though, he was ready. Hogan and her husband Travis rushed to the hospital after her waters broke (she didn’t even have time to put her shoes on, Hogan told Popsugar) and they still didn’t make it to the delivery room! After only 25 minutes of labor and only one “intentional push,” Hogan ended up giving brith on the floor of a hospital corridor while her photographer, Tammy Karin, the founder of Little Leapling Photography, caught it all on camera.

“I could feel my body pushing the baby’s head out,” Jes wrote in a blog post Tammy’s website. “I reached down and could feel his head crowning with my hand. I looked at my husband and said, ‘Travis, catch him!’ Without any hesitation he did just that as I felt my body involuntarily pushing his head the rest of the way out. At that moment Tammy began snapping away!” Way to go, team!

“It was my craziest birth, but also, the most perfect,” Jes wrote. “It was not at all what I had planned, but it ended without any intervention, a healthy baby, and amazing support people by our sides. It was beautiful and I’ll forever love every memory of it.”
“People seem shocked that I was able to get these dramatic delivery pictures, but this is what Jes hired me to do. As a professional birth photographer, it is my job to be there,” Karin told People afterwards. “I was on call, I was in contact with her and I was prepared.
