WHY HIRE A BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER?
The birth of your child is one of the most important and miraculous days of your life, filled with emotion, intensity, and unforgettable moments. Yet, in the whirlwind of labor and delivery, many of those moments can become a blur. Hiring a professional birth photographer ensures that this extraordinary experience is documented with care, so you can revisit it with fresh eyes for years to come.
Allowing us to capture your birth also frees up your partner or loved ones to be fully present in supporting you, rather than behind a camera. Our goal is to preserve your story with sensitivity, beauty, and intention.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
Birth photography is, at its core, documentary storytelling, raw, real, and deeply personal. No two births are alike, and I approach each one with a quiet, artistic presence that allows your story to unfold naturally.

WHEN DO YOU ARRIVE AT A BIRTH?
I typically join you once you are in active labor. For hospital births, I usually arrive after you've been admitted and settled into your room. Since this is Los Angeles and timing is everything, I stay in close touch throughout early labor. I’d much rather arrive early and capture more of your laboring journey than risk missing those first magical moments

DO YOU OFFER BIRTH ALBUMS?
I’ll be there for as long as your story takes to unfold. Typically, I stay several hours after your baby is born to document those powerful firsts: skin-to-skin, feedings, cuddles, and sibling introductions. These quiet, tender moments are some of the most cherished.
The longest birth I’ve photographed was 3 days. Every journey is different, and I'm committed to supporting yours with patience and presence.
Because of the unpredictable nature of birth, I accept only a limited number of clients per month, usually up to three, ensuring I'm fully available and have backup support in place if needed.
As soon as you know you’d like to have your birth documented, I encourage you to get in touch. My calendar fills up quickly due to the limited number of clients I take each month.
That’s completely fine. Many of my clients prefer to keep their birth images private, and I always respect that. I'll never share your images without your explicit permission, your comfort and privacy come first.
Yes! Birth albums are one of my most loved offerings. You’ll select your favorite images, and I custom design a beautiful heirloom album for you to treasure and share with your child as they grow.
