Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire a birth photographer?

Birth can be a whirlwind. I know in my experience after giving birth, I only had a few concrete memories of my experience. I hope to change that for you. Birth photography allows for you to see and remember all the big and small moments of the journey. The concern on your partners face, the intensity you experienced, and, of course, those first moments when you finally meet your baby and hold them for the first time.  

How does this session work?

You will notify me at the start of labor so I can prepare to come join you. Updates are key. I’ll be waiting to be notified that you are in active labor or 6-7cm. Once I am there, I will be with you for the rest of labor, and 1 hour after your baby is born.

Will you be capturing intimate and private details throughout the session?

Yes! Ultimately I am with you to capture the raw and real moments. I aim to get both modest images as well as ones that will tell the full story of your birth. Upon your delivery we will discuss what you do or don’t want shared publicly.

How long till I get my images?

You can expect a 2 week turn around for images to be digitally delivered to you.

What if you miss the birth?

Birth can be wild and unpredictable. I have a great track record for making even the shortest of labors, but in the unlikely event that I miss your birth, I still aim to tell your story. I aim to capture the moment just after delivery and will return the next day to do a complementary fresh 48 session.
