4 Reasons to Hire a Birth Photographer
Birth photography documents the experience of giving birth, from labor to delivery to those first golden moments with your baby. Birth is a raw and beautiful event that deserves to be celebrated. Every type of birth is worth documenting, from home births to cesarean sections in the hospital.
Capture and preserve a transformative moment in your life.
Just like an engagement or wedding, giving birth is a major life milestone. There’s no greater identity shift than becoming a parent, or adding another child to your family. You will want to remember and honor the incredible process that brings your newest little love into the world.
Allow your support team to be present.
Your partner, family, and doula should be in the birth space to support you, not worry about taking photographs. Labor and delivery can be an intense and overwhelming, and your support team might forget to take photos of moments you’d love to remember. Hiring a birth photographer can relieve the pressure and allow you to be fully present in every moment.
Your birth story is unique.
Every birth is unique, and your story deserves to be told. A birth photographer can tell your story of raw transformation into new mother (or mother of 2+) in emotional images for you to cherish forever. Your birth story is a chapter in your life that changes you forever, and it is worth documenting. No matter how many times you give birth, this birthing experience will only happen once in a lifetime. Your birth photographer will notice the small details that help tell your story.
Birth photographers are experts in capturing quality photos. Birth spaces (hospitals, birth centers, or homes) are not standard photo spaces. Lighting is usually not ideal. Birth photographers know how to work in a variety of lighting situations to produce quality images for you to look back on time and time again.
