Birth story photography

You are an absolute badass - your body built another body out of itself with nothing more than the raw material of a little DNA.

You’re only going to give birth once, twice… maybe a handful of times. Regardless, the act of introducing a brand new human into the world is worth remembering.

That personal journey through childbirth is one of the most transformative experiences in life. It’s also one that historically hasn’t gotten a lot of attention. Luckily, that’s starting to change. We’re proud to be part of a movement to shine a light on childbirth and recognize it as a time to celebrate the unrivaled power of women and birthing bodies.

Labor photography for the wild at heart

There’s a child growing inside you and someday soon they’re going to be drawing their first breath and looking into your eyes for the first time. If there’s an event in life worth capturing, that’s it. You’re about to make a work of art, we’re going to make it timeless.

We embrace birth photography as powerful tools for change. Documenting this time in a human life honors the power and sacredness of that experience. One day soon you will sit with your child as they flip through the story of their own birth — their very first and very real birth day. Your child’s birth photos will serve as a reminder of your strength and the love around you as you brought your baby into this world.

 
 

Birth photography 101

First, we’ll meet to connect and discuss the way you want your story told. As your labor photographer, we will then go on call from 37 weeks on until your baby announces they’re ready to enter the world. Once active labor begins, your birth photographer will meet you wherever you’ve planned your child’s birth — at the hospital, at a birthing center, at home, at an airbnb, wherever — as a calming presence, ready to document the unique details, beauty, and power of you basically doing magic.

I could tell from that first meeting that Elizabeth and Vera would be wonderful to work with, and I was right… I would 100% recommend these amazing women to anyone who wants beautiful and thorough documentation of the birth of your baby.
