Would you like a special keepsake of one of the most important days of your life? A birth photographer is a special treat!
Birth Photography
Hiring a birth photographer frees up your support people and ensures you get those important moments captured. Birth and labor is very unpredictable and therefore these are not typical portrait sessions. The lighting may be dim, and planning what’s going to happen can be difficult. I will shoot your labor and birth as it unfolds, in a photo-journalistic style. As a trained birth doula, I am sensitive to your needs as a laboring woman, I understand my role to document quietly and unobtrusively. Being on both sides of the birth process, I also understand which special moments you may want. Without a birth photographer, you may be left with just a few snapshots of the baby after delivery. I will help you to capture the amazing labor process and the incredible miracle of birth.
My Birth Photography Packages
- Consultation: We will discuss what to expect, what moments you wish captured, etc.
- I will arrive at your birth place when you are in active labor and will stay up to two hours after the birth
- 50 (or more) very high quality edited photos on CD with the copyrights that you may have printed anywhere you like at any size you like
- Your photos will be available to you within 2 weeks

I have two options, one for those who would like to feel more secure that I will be available and the second for those who like to gamble a bit.
On-call just for you: $400
- I book your date just as I would a doula client, virtually guaranteeing my availability at your birth (barring emergency situations)
Open option: $250
- I do not book your date, if I am not already at a delivery (or other emergency), I will be available to photograph yours
$100 due at contract signing, the remainder due anytime up to my arrival at your labor. In the event I do not make it to your birth, all monies will be refunded.
