Should I Hire a Birth Photographer?

May 29, 2025

Do I really want someone taking pictures while I’m pushing a baby out of my body?”

Short answer? Yes, love. Long answer? Yesssssssssss.

Birth photography isn’t about perfectly posed pics—it’s about the real, powerful, once-in-a-lifetime moments that deserve to be remembered. Take the pressure off your partner so they can be truly present for you as a support person.

What I Capture as Your Birth Photographer:

  • The strength in your eyes during a contraction
  • The way your partner holds your hand
  • That first cry, first breath, first “I did it!”

You won’t remember every detail. You’re too busy, you know, birthing a human. But I’ll remember it for you—through photos that honor your story.

And bonus? As a doula AND photographer, I blend in seamlessly. No strangers. Just quiet presence, fierce respect, and a whole lot of love through the lens.

Guiding birthing people to be strong and empowered through their birth experience and beyond.
