Birth, in all its raw, ecstatic, savage glory, is the most terrifying thing in the world to behold. An immense privilege to capture some of the most precious, intimate and powerful birth stories.
From the preʋisiƄility of normal childbirth to the depicted look of a cesarean section, few mothers and fathers prepare for an experience that will never be repeated, and birth photographers help them capture this special moment.
Birth photos can seem a bit strange at first. But if you had a photographer on your Ƅoda, why wouldn’t you have a photographer there to document the first few moments of your ƄeƄé?
A couple of reasons why you might want photos of that:
Watch each year as your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 grows and remembers. To create family heirlooms that can be passed down for generations. What better way to spend the first story of your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥? To thank THAT moment. That first moment you finally hold your ƄeƄé in your arms.
Remember. You’d be surprised how much trace you’ll have in the labor of delivery. You may not remember many moments of your birth and the photos will help you process them later. Master your strength at work. To document the first moments of this incredible journey, you and your partner are together.
Have you considered or hired a nativity photographer? Why did you want to document these moments? Or if something holds you back, what scares you about the birth photograph?
