What an exciting journey you are on!
Birth photography is still very much an up-and-coming genre of photography, but soooo incredibly special and an amazing investment. Many people don't know Professional Birth Photography exists... and if they heard of it, they might not truly understand why a woman would want a complete stranger with a camera present when she's giving birth.
"Gross, why would anyone want THAT captured?" - I've heard it countless times. What you might not understand, is that Birth Photography is not just about a picture of a baby physically being born. It is that, and SO MUCH MORE!
Birth Photography is about telling a story. It is about documenting the anticipation of those hours before your baby is born. Birth Photography is about documenting that exact moment when you look at your baby for the first time, hold them in your arms, smell their smell for the first time, hear their cry for the first time.
Your partner might be a great photographer, however, giving your partner the role of photographer will deprive him of more crucial roles: your support during labor and delivery and his participation at the moment of birth.
Who is going to capture that part of your story? Who is going to capture the moment when your partner lays eyes on his child, and finally holds that little baby for the first time? By hiring a Birth Photographer you are giving the whole family the gift of being in the pictures, and being a part of the story!
This shoot includes a mini Fresh 48 session directly after the birth. It is important to find out before you book this shoot if your hospital allows a photographer in theatre. This shoot is so special as Dad can focus 100% on the mom, and not be on his phone trying to capture the moments.
