Birth Photography

“The day everything changes”


There is no other day quite like the day your child is born.


The hours leading up to it. The breath, the focus, the strength you didn't know you had. The hand that held yours through every contraction. The first cry. The first time you heard your own voice say their name out loud.


Birth photography is a quiet witness to all of it.


WHO THIS IS FOR


Birth photography is for the woman who knows


Not every mother wants her birth photographed — and that's completely valid. Birth photography is for the woman who already knows she'll want to remember this day in detail. The fierce concentration of labor. The exact face her partner made when the baby arrived. The way the light fell across the room at 4am.


If you've ever read another woman's birth story and wished you had photographs of your own, this is for you.


WHAT THE EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE


Quiet, present, never intrusive


When you book birth photography with me, I'm on call for you starting at 38 weeks (or earlier, if needed).  When labor begins, you call me — and I come.


I work quietly. I stay out of the way of your medical team. I'm there to document, not to direct or interrupt anything. You labor as you would have without me there. I simply make sure that this moment, the most extraordinary moment of your life, doesn't disappear.


I document the hours of labor, the moment of birth itself, and the first golden hour with your baby — when everything in the world becomes still.


Or — Fresh 48


If full birth coverage feels like too much (or your baby is already on the way), I also offer Fresh 48 sessions. These take place in your hospital room or at home within 48 hours of your baby's arrival — before you've left the bubble of those first quiet hours, while everything still feels brand new.


Fresh 48 sessions are gentle, intimate, and capture so much of what makes the first day unforgettable: the baby's tiny hospital bracelet, the way you keep staring at their face, the older sibling meeting them for the first time.


WHAT'S INCLUDED


Every birth photography package includes:

  • On-call availability starting at 38 weeks
  • Coverage of active labor, birth, and the first hour after
  • A curated gallery of professionally edited images
  • Video Highlight with the best moments


Because birth photography is by nature unpredictable, all packages are quoted individually after our consultation.


WHEN TO BOOK


As early as you'd like — and no later than 32 weeks


I limit the number of birth clients I take each month, to ensure I'm fully available when your labor begins. Please reach out as early in your pregnancy as you'd like — many clients book in their first or second trimester.
