Why hire a birth photographer?
Top reasons to hire a birth photographer
There are some truly special, wonderful, amazing stand out moments in our lives. Days like the birth of our children that we anxiously waited and dreamed of for an entire 9 months. Months spending wondering what your baby would look like, how your birth story would be, what it would be like seeing your baby for the first time, or how it would feel when you heard them cry for the first time. Moments you wish you could save and relive over and over. So why not hire a photographer and save those moments forever.
When asked what is the happiest moment of your life so far, most answered my wedding, and the birth of my children. Why is it only normal for one to be photographed but not the other?
The day your child arrives is single handedly the most life changing moment in anyone's life. Why not invest in having every moment of your birth story captured like you did for your wedding? You will want to remember every little detail. The strength you have as you bring your baby earth-side. The look on your spouse's face as they become a parent. The joy you feel as your baby is placed in your arms. Every tiny little detail of their squishy little body.
Birth is an amazing experience no matter how it occurs, natural birth, medicated birth, cesarean birth. This is the moment your family is made. So many emotions, so much joy, the reactions you can capture with birth photography are worth every penny!
“My partner can just take the photos for me” But what about them? Who captures their reaction as they see you so strong and so fierce as you bring your baby into this world? The dads reactions are always my favorite to capture, the way they look at their partner so amazed, so proud, so much joy. Their reaction matters too!
Birth photography is what helps capture and preserve all those memories of this special day!
