Frequently Asked Questions
01. WHY HIRE A BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER ?
By hiring a photographer to document your birth, your husband or significant other can step back and live in that birth space with you without worrying about finding the camera or documenting those first moments instead of being IN them.
02. WHEN WILL YOU ARRIVE AT MY BIRTH SPACE AND HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY?
I will arrive when you are in active labor (usually 6-7 cm). I am prepared to arrive in your birth space at any time day or night.
I will stay through your delivery and then 1-2 hours after to document those first moments such as skin-to-skin, newborn exam, feedings, bath, weight, etc.
If I cannot capture those first moments following birth because of your baby being transferred to the NICU or newborn nursery, I will come back to document those moments when you are ready for me.
03. HOW MANY BIRTHS DO YOU SCHEDULE A MONTH?
I only schedule two to three birth stories a month. When I book a birth, I am 'on call' for you from your 39th through your 41st-week gestation, meaning I am available for you 24/7, day or night.
04. WHAT IF I HAVE A CESAREAN?
Most hospitals allow two people in the operating room with you. I will do my best to be able to be allowed back with you and your support person, but if I am not allowed in, I will be waiting in your recovery room as soon as you arrive back from surgery, and still capture those tender moments with your new arrival.
05. WILL I HAVE IMAGES I CAN SHARE WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY?
Absolutely. You have complete control over what others see. Your gallery will be set to private and you will have the option to mark photos that you approve for public viewing.
06. SHOULD I TALK TO MY DOCTOR/MIDWIFE ABOUT HIRING A BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER?
I suggest discussing your choice of hiring a birth photographer with your doctor and making sure your facility allows them. Some doctors and staff do not allow video footage of your actual delivery. Discussing options with your team ahead of time often resolves any issues before they come up. I can capture beautiful images while respecting the staff and delivery team.
Often, merely having a conversation with staff is appreciated making them more welcoming of me. Giving your nurses a heads-up that I will be coming is also very helpful. I will also provide you with handouts for your doctor and nursing staff.
07. WILL YOU BE POSTING MY IMAGES ON THE INTERNET?
Most of my clients find me through my website and social media sites, and showing beautiful images of what birth photography looks like helps families find and trust me in documenting their births beautifully. I ask my clients to sign model releases to allow me to do this. All images I post are always approved by you first, and I would never post an image you are uncomfortable showing. These images are ultimately for you and if you would like to discuss this further I am more than happy to set up a plan.
08. WHAT IF I DELIVER BEFORE YOU ARRIVE, OR HAVE TWO CLIENTS IN LABOR AT THE SAME TIME?
Birth is unpredictable! I rarely miss a delivery, but it is always possible if things are moving very quickly. In this circumstance, I would start documenting as soon as I arrive; there are still so many beautiful moments to capture. We can also discuss scheduling a Fresh 48 or newborn session to ensure the delivery of a full gallery of images.
09. WHAT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT TO MY DELIVERY?
If for some reason I cannot attend the birth due to illness or something out of my control, we can discuss options to transfer your payments to another session or I will give you a full refund.
10. HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
You will receive all images, 80+, in color and black & white in an online gallery that will be private.
