The photos and the story of Sienna Grace's birth have gone viral online and in national news outlets including The Huffington Post.

Bennett said she was astonished when she saw the pictures.

"They were just beautiful," said Bennett. "[As a photojournalist] how can I ask people to invite me into their lives and share their intimate moments with me, with our readers, and then turn around and say I'm not willing to do the same."
