What to Expect
What is birth photography?
Birth photography documents labor, delivery, and the first moments after birth as they naturally unfold. It focuses on connection, strength, and emotion rather than posed images, capturing your story in an honest and respectful way.
Do you photograph in hospital settings?
Yes. I document births in hospital settings and work respectfully alongside medical staff, following hospital policies and your comfort level at all times.
Will you photograph everything?
No. You are always in control of what is documented. Before your birth, we’ll talk through preferences and boundaries so I know what feels comfortable for you. My priority is to honor your experience and your space.
What if my birth doesn’t go as planned?
Birth is unpredictable, and that’s okay. Every story deserves to be honored — whether labor is long or short, medicated or unmedicated, or includes unexpected turns. My role is to document your experience with sensitivity and care, whatever it looks like.
How long do you stay during labor and delivery?
There is no set time limit. Coverage begins during active labor and continues through delivery and the immediate moments after birth, as agreed upon beforehand.
How will we receive our images?
You’ll receive a private online gallery with fully edited, high-resolution images. From there, you can download, share, and preserve your photographs.
When do I need to reach out?
It’s best to inquire during your second trimester if possible. I accept a limited number of on-call clients each month to ensure availability, so reaching out early helps secure space around your due date.
What is a Fresh 48 session?
A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first 24–48 hours after birth, usually in the hospital. These sessions are calm and unposed, focusing on tiny details, quiet moments, and the beginning of your baby’s story.
How soon will we get our gallery?
Galleries are delivered within the timeframe outlined in your agreement. I take care to edit each birth story thoughtfully and intentionally.
What does being “on-call” mean?
Being on-call means I remain available for your birth during a specific window around your due date. Once labor begins, you or your support person will notify me, and I’ll come to the hospital at the agreed-upon time.
Do you pose babies or families during Fresh 48 sessions?
No. Fresh 48 sessions are lifestyle-based and gentle. I’ll offer light guidance if needed, but the focus is on natural moments and connection.
How do we get started?
You can begin by filling out the inquiry form with your due date and hospital information. I’ll follow up to confirm availability and walk you through next steps.
