WHY HIRE A BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER?
emotional • supportive • encouragement • raw • tenderness • anticipation • happiness • discomfort • remarkable • sensitive • strength • love • awe
These words begin to describe the birth journey. If you’ve experienced the birth of a child, you can probably identify with each of those words. They may even conjure visual memories in your mind representing each stage of labor, birth and those first moments of meeting your child.
Perhaps the most obvious reason for bringing a camera into the labor and delivery room is to document the birth of the baby. This is the only time that this child will be born. There are no second chances. Who wouldn't want to hear the story about the day they were born? If you have the event documented with pictures, you can show them exactly what it was like on the day of their birth. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing it is to have a picture of the first time your baby laid on your chest. I promise you, if you have a picture of it, you won’t forget that moment.
