What led you to decide to open your birth photography business in Seattle?

I have always loved photography and when I gave birth, I hired a birth photographer for both of my births. I really cherish those photos, and my kids love to look at them as well. Sidenote, did you know the story of how your baby was born is a great bedtime story? After giving birth, I decided not to go back to teaching but to do photography instead. Eventually, I knew I had to do birth photography. I just love the emotions and all the "firsts" (ie. first time dad holds baby skin-to-skin, first latch, first weighing/measuring) that I can catch in a photo! I think my favorite moment to capture is the moment you first see and hold your baby. It's powerful!

What kind of services do you provide?

I also offer birth films. It's one thing to look back and see your birth photos to help you remember, but birth films help you to relive the experience! In addition to birth photography and birth films, I also offer doula services as well as maternity, newborn and family photo sessions. I've even done several high school senior photos! Imagine that, from birth to graduation!

What is your favorite part of your job?

But my true love is birth photography. Whenever I get the call, even if it's in the middle of the night, I'm so excited!

What happens during a consultation with you?

If you want to learn more about birth photography and how it works, I offer free consultations to answer all your questions. We go over your preferences in what type of images to capture, and how to contact me when you go into labor.

What do you wish people knew about services with you?

I promise you will never regret hiring a birth photographer. However, you may regret NOT hiring one. It's one of the most important days of your life, and you won't want to forget it! (Birth photos also help you to process your birth!) You only give birth a few times, so you deserve to capture it in photos/video. I mean, it's up there with wedding photos/film, and maybe even MORE important than wedding photos.
