Because birth can be unpredictable. A professional is ready and able to document in any situation, to read the room, and to work along with the rest of your birth team to keep you and baby's health and safety the first priority.
After photographing the births of my older nephews, just because I was there and documenting is what I do, I was in awe. While they weren't the first births I had been present at, they were the first that I had photographed in an effort to tell and remember the story. And I wanted more.
While the pandemic slowed down my goal for a time, I am excited to now be offering birth photography! Soon I will be officially certified and I look forward to being able to help busy Mamas who want this incredible miracle documented.
