"No, I'm NOT Taking Pictures of your Vagina!" …Why Hire a Birth Photographer?

​When I tell someone I do birth photography, the first response I get is always a shocked face and, "people want photos of THAT?!?".

YES, yes they do, and let me tell you why!! Having a baby is one of the happiest and most important days of your life! We capture everything else from prom and graduation to engagements and weddings, so why not the very important day our babies are welcomed earthside?!

First of all, NO, it's not just a bunch of pictures of your vagina!!

Birth photography is all about capturing the moments of your birth. Those intimate moments while you labour.  Your partner's loving support,  the rush of the contractions, the amazing strength your body has and the power that is you! It is about remembering the details of your birth room, the moment baby was first laid on your chest, the first latch, dad's first glimpse of that sweet bundle of joy, and the moment that you realize you have done it! You have made the most perfect human!!

Let a birth photographer capture those once in a lifetime moments of your baby's life! You would be amazed by how quickly your new baby will change in just a mere few hours. Your birth photographer will capture that beautiful coney head, the slightly squishy nose, that gorgeous cheesy vernix, and all those moments you only get for such a short period of time!

​Doesn't that deserve the same attention as the other monumentous moments in your life?! Let a birth photographer take away the worry of missing a shot or the regret that you didn't capture that precious time together! Walk away with your birth captured in a collection of beautiful photos you can hold onto and treasure for the reast of your life! Photos that will tell the birth story of how you became a parent for the first, second or tenth time!
​

​A lot of moms only remeber their birth as a blur, and having a birth photographer will allow you to look back on your birth and remember the little moments that might otherwise be forgotten! Remember those first looks of joy, relief, elation and love! An investment in your birth is one you will never regret!

Giving birth is one of the most important journeys of your life, and to have your story captured from beginning to end is amazing! You may regret not hiring a birth photographer to capture the big day, but you will never regret actually hiring one...that's a promise!
