Documenting your child's birth is an honor. There is a whirlwind of emotions going on during this time. Allow me to capture them for you while you and your spouse/significant other enjoy these moments together. I feel like the birth of your child should be a story told to you and your family throughout a lifetime. And that is what I will do, capture the story. While shooting I know where to stand, stay out of the way of the nurses, and how to keep the photos modest. When you go into the hospital give me a call, and I will make my way to your location. From this point we wait. I will stay and photograph up to 2 hours after babies delivery.

 

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 as well. 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!

I like to meet with the couple before hiring me to go over what I do during a typical labor and delivery session. It's also a chance to meet each other in person. And go over what types of photo's you do or do not want.

What's included.? Travel time to and from hospital, birth center, or home. Unlimited coverage of labor, delivery, and two hours of photo's following delivery. A CD with 150 edited black and white photos.If you are not interested in having me in the room for the labor and delivery I can also come within the first 24 hours to capture photo's of you and baby, along with family members, siblings, and friends that come to visit during that time. This is called an afterglow session. It can also be done in the home.

This is also a good option if you are having a c-section.

Also included with both Labor and Delivery, is a slideshow of your special day. It's the birth story of your little one set to music of either your choice or mine. Additional services are available such as birth announcements, and prints for an added cost.
