Birth Story

Birth Story

Birth Story is a documentary-style photography experience created to gently preserve one of the most powerful and intimate moments in a family’s life — the journey into birth and the first moments of meeting your baby.

This is not about posing or perfection.

It’s about presence, emotion, connection, and memory.

Birth Story can be booked as two separate chapters or as a complete experience.

Before the Moment

Quiet strength. Focus. Breath.

Before the moment your baby arrives, there is a space filled with anticipation, closeness, and inner power.

Before the Moment documents the early part of labor — the time when parents are still together in movement, support, and connection. Gentle touches, deep breaths, quiet conversations, and the emotional preparation for what’s coming next.

What’s Included

• Documentary-style photography during the labor period

• Up to 2 hours of coverage

• Calm, respectful presence

• Natural, unposed storytelling

• 40+ edited images delivered to the client

This chapter is about the journey — the emotional and physical space before everything changes.

⸻

First Moment

The first breath.

The first cry.

The first touch.

First Moment captures the most powerful point of the birth story — the arrival of your baby and the first moments of life outside the womb. The raw emotion, the release, the connection, and the quiet awe that follows.

This is intimate, honest, and deeply emotional documentation of birth and the very beginning of your baby’s life.

What’s Included

• Presence during the active phase of labor and birth

• Coverage of the first hour of your baby’s life

• Documentary, non-intrusive approach

• Respectful, quiet storytelling

• 50+ edited images delivered to the client

Every image from this chapter is carefully edited and delivered as a complete story — no image selection required.

The Full Birth Story

Clients may choose to book Before the Moment and First Moment together for a complete birth narrative — from anticipation to arrival.

Together, these two chapters create a full, honest, and deeply meaningful story of how your baby came into the world.

A Note on Birth Photography

Birth photography is deeply personal and built on trust. I work quietly, respectfully, and intuitively — always honoring the space, the mother, and the medical team.

This experience is about holding memory, not interrupting it.

Booking & Timing

Birth Story sessions are booked according to your due date as well.

Because birth is unpredictable, this type of session is reserved on an on-call basis around your estimated delivery window.

Once labor begins, you simply notify me, and I arrive to document your story with care and respect — whether your baby arrives earlier, later, or right on time.

This booking structure ensures that your birth story is fully supported and thoughtfully documented, without stress or rigid scheduling.
