Birth Photography
Birth is an experience that demonstrates that
life is not merely function & utility, but form & beauty.
~Christopher Largen
We have recently added birth photography to our services, though we are not professionals by any means and consider doula support to be our main role and responsibility. However, we have added this service for no extra charge and would love to be able to capture this momentous occasion for you and your family.
Being birth doulas, we understand how important it is for privacy and minimal interruption. Therefore, we use a fast lens with a flash that bounces off the wall (instead of the laboring mama/newborn's face!) in order to minimize disruption and to allow us to work in low-light conditions.
Mothers who have had us photograph their births have actually said that, contrary to the assumption that the camera sounds are an annoying distraction, the soft background clicking is actually very comforting!
See examples of our photography by visiting our website galleries for black and white or our online portfolio for color. If you choose to have us photograph your birth, you will receive both black/white and color copies on a flash drive.
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
