When I first learned about the cost of birth photography, I was a little nervous about providing it as a service. Is this feasible for families? Would I want to pay for this service? But once I learned more about everything that goes into the cost, and the value of this unique service, it all made so much sense!
Birth photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.
As a birth photographer, I know how to work with low light situations, respect your privacy and intimacy, preserve the specialness of your birthing space, and most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most. As a mother, I understand the birthing process and the life-changing moment of childbirth.
Birth photography takes a lot of time.
Births can last a few hours or even more than a day. As your birth photographer, I'm on-call 24/7 from 37 weeks until your child’s birthday. You might compare it to the work that goes into photographing a wedding, without knowing exactly when that wedding will take place! I spend several hours (more than a several, if you’re asking my family 😉) editing the photos after the birth to ensure that the final product meets my high standards to become heirloom quality keepsakes for you to treasure forever.
The cost of birth photography includes more than just the time spent at the birth and editing the photos. It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. As a photographer, I invest in ongoing training and education to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.

The cost of a birth photographer can vary depending on experience and the services and products offered.

Birth is a life-changing experience that is often a hazy blur, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.
These photos are not just for you; they're a gift to your child. They'll show them how loved and welcomed they were from the very beginning.
I want to make sure that everyone who wants to capture their birth story through photography has the opportunity to do so. That's why I offer payment plans and gifting registry options to make the investment more manageable. I'm committed to making sure that you can have access to the beautiful, timeless images that you deserve!
