Birth Photography is a wonderful way to remember some of the most precious moments of your life. Whether capturing them on vide0 or photographing the once in a lifetime experience of bringing a life into the world.

As a birth photographer, I am there to capture the candid moments of your labor, birth, and the bonding done afterward with your new little one. I do this within the boundaries that we will have previously discussed.

The photos are done in black and white and in color. I do recommend that black and white be done at the time of the delivery as it portrays a more intimate feeling.

If hired as your pregnancy and/or birth photographer, that will be my one and only responsibility at the birth. I find that I do better work if I’m not worrying about the mothers needs, and am able to catch those precious moments surrounding birth in a better light.

I offer a free meeting for you to come and see a portfolio of my work and to talk to me about what you would like in capturing the moments of your birth.
