Think we might be a good fit? I'd love to chat with you about it! Please fill the form with your birth details and I'll back to you asap.
If you've hired me to wear the birth photographer hat you can expect a minimum of 100 finished images, which you'll receive in an online gallery from which you can download high-resolution files (and low-res ones for sharing online).
I give a handful of previews within 3 days. The entire gallery within 4 weeks.
This might be hard to believe, but you'll probably be so euphoric about your smooth, quick birth that you won't even mind in a way.
Even so, if I miss a birth due to it being too quick, I reallocate your investment toward other photo shoots or extra postpartum support.
I have never missed a birth due to my own negligence.
I have purposefully refrained from going through official doula-certification programs because I desire to be beholden and shaped by my relationship with birthing families more than by obligations to credentials.
That said, I have learned to do what I do by apprenticing with a midwife, observing many births as a photographer, reading lots of birth-related material, giving birth myself... and a gifting/calling from God!
Then I stick by your side. I won't abandon you if for some reason your baby's or your own wellbeing require a transfer of care. This is true whether I'm just your birth photographer or your doula, too.
I hope to carry peace into those undesired turns of event, and provide a sense of safety and love for you there.
