Why hire a birth photographer?

You are about to meet the love of your life..

Birth hormones and exhaustion naturally makes us forget a lot of the experience, and just like a wedding, a birth is a day you want to remember for the rest of your life. I will capture your journey, the different phases, your partners touch and support, your embrace, and finally you looking in to the eyes of your sweet baby, counting the toes and smelling the neck.

QUESTION

What does it mean to be on call? When would you begin photographing my labor?

ANSWER

I am on call 24/7 from week 38 and I plan to be with you when you enter the phase of active labor. If your care provider is doing cervical checks - I usually like to be with you from 6 centimeters onward. I will be in touch with you, your partner or birth supporter to determine when it is time!

I stay and document the bonding, baby’s first exam, and introductions to family and friends who are at the birth place. This is generally around 2 hours after delivery. If you want me to stay longer, we can arrange for that too!

I love social media but will ONLY share what you allow me to. Nothing will be shared without your approval.

Anything from $500 - $1400. Let me know what you are looking for and we will find a perfect match.
