The Value of Your Investment

Birth story sessions are not similarly priced to other photo sessions because birth photography/film by nature is expensive, unpredictable, and requires skill and expertise to finesse. I go on call for five weeks surrounding your estimated due date, with the industry standard being 4. I'm ready to join you at a moments notice, day or night, be it on your due date, at 37 weeks, or 42 weeks. If your baby is born on Thanksgiving Day (it’s happened!) you can trust the holiday won’t keep me from you.

By charging what I do, I can stay with you as long as your labor takes & provide you a meaningful, personalized experience. I accept 2-3 birth clients per month to minimize the chance of overlapping births, purchase and maintain top-notch photography equipment, and my cameras/lenses are uniquely chosen to handle the immense demands of low light situations. Three cameras (2 Nikon D800s & a point & shoot) accompany me to every birth along with various other backup equipment in case technology fails.

I've also spent 12+ years behind the camera and countless hours learning from local Midwives, OBs & Doulas & other birth pros. I continually invest in various educational courses & workshops to expand my skillset and more wholly serve my clients. Course training includes the Birth-Worker Inclusivity Training Series, Know your Rights: Legal & Human Rights in Childbirth, and Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss.

There are no redos with birth and you deserve a photographer who is equally invested in preserving your story. When you hire me, you are getting so much more than a person behind a camera snapping pics hoping a few turn out in focus. You’re choosing a skilled artist & documentarian who is dedicated to making sure your needs are met and your images are glorious.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, ask questions or schedule an in-person meet up!
