Why Hire a BIRth PhotograpER...
Why hire a birth photographer?
The photos from your labor and delivery are a beautiful reminder of one of the most important days of your life. Allowing a photographer to handle this important task will not only free up Dad or your other support person to be more available to you during your labor and delivery, but it will also ensure that his or her participation is captured on film. Dad won’t have to worry about taking photos, so he’ll be better able to enjoy the moment right along with you. He can be a more active participant on a day worthy of documenting! What's great about having a birth photographer, is as mommies we can sometimes get so caught up in all that is going on with labor we forget what actually went on. When we are told to push we close our eyes and we sometimes forget to open them when all the birth of the baby is actually happening. not only will hiring me as your birth photographer allow you to live in the moment, you can also look back on it for years to come and relive that moment.
What’s Included..
All births include time, travel, unlimited coverage of labor and delivery, and an edited flash drive of anywhere between 75-125 images in black and white and color. Albums, canvases, birth announcements and slideshows are also available for an additional charge.
I love to get together with my moms and dads to be somewhere around 35 weeks and introduce myself in person before the big day, we can also go over what I do during a typical birth and it’s a great opportunity to go over your birth plan and ask me any questions you might have.
What if I go into labor at 2am? Will you still be there?
Absolutely, I am on call 24 hours. i await your delivery 1 weeks before and after your EDD.
What if I am having a c-section?
Every birth experience is worth photographing. While it depends on the hospital you’re delivering at whether I can be in the operating room with you or not, there are still many important moments I’m able to capture during your stay.
There are certain things I do not want photographed, is that OK?
Definitely, we will go over exactly what you are and are not comfortable with and you may ask any other questions you might have when we get together.
How many images will you take?
Each birth experience is unique and different. A longer labor and delivery will result in more images. On average, couples receive around 75-125 finished images on a flash drive.
How long will it take to receive the images?
I will email you 10-20 teasers within 48 hours and you should receive the rest in about 2-3 weeks but it varies on my schedule and the number of images taken.
Do I have to share the images you take?
It is totally up to you on who you choose to share your images with. I will ask for permission to use graphic images with potential clients.
What if i have the baby in the car/ or before you get there? (super fast delivery)
IF that were to happen and i missed the birth, i will make the session immediately to a Fresh48 session. This where i will capture most the firsts of the baby being born.
