Why Birth Photography?
The story of the birth of your child is an important one to tell. Because of the adrenaline and excitement of the day, it can be extremely hard for parents to recall all of the details and the memorable moments. As an observer, I have the ability to focus in on all of those things that your family will want to cherish forever. It also allows the father or birthing partner the ability to be 100% focused on you. They won't be worried about getting the first picture or capturing your new baby getting measured, they will be providing you with the love and support you will need to get through your labor.
What is included?
All births include a meet and greet where I can introduce myself in person and get to know more about your birth plan.
In addition, it includes 24/7 on call coverage within the 2 weeks around your due date, travel, unlimited time leading up to your delivery, and 1-2 hours after delivery.
Each gallery is delivered via an online digital download. I will also provide a 30 page photo book for you to keep!
What if I am having a C-Section?
All birth experiences are worth capturing! Depending on the hospital you deliver at, I may or may not be allowed into the operating room. However, there are still plenty of memories worth photographing during your time at the hospital.
How many images will you take?
Obviously, every birthing experience is different. If your labor is longer, I will have more photos to take. With that being said, I typically deliver around 175-225 digital images.
What if I go into labor in the middle of the night?
No problem at all! I am on-call 24/7 around the 2 weeks of your due date.
How long until I receive the images?
Typically a few sneak peeks will be provided within 36 hours, but depending on the size of the gallery and my schedule at the time, the rest could take up to 2 weeks. Albums will take slightly longer to be printed and delivered.
What if there are things I don't want captured?
Great question! When we meet before your birth, please provide any details of things you DO NOT want photographed. I will do my best to capture your story the way that you want it to be told.
