I met Kim and Adam last spring when baby Katie was brand new. In April we met to get some one year photos of Katie and update their family photos. Kim’s parents joined us, which was a blast. We laughed to much. Every time I get to photograph a family for a second or even third year my heart feels so full. There is something special about being able to capture a family as they grow and change. Thank you Lincoln Family!
As someone who has given birth four separate times I understand the importance of deciding who is and isn't invited into such a sacred space. I understand the amount of energy each person in the birthing room can fill and how it can impact the mental and emotional energy of the person in labor. I take it very serious when I am entrusted to help tell the story of the arrival of a new member of a family into this world.
That is why my approach to birth photography may be different than other birth photographers. To me, it is not all about "doing what it takes" to get the shot. I prefer to be a fly on the wall, with a calm and quiet energy. I will always do my best to capture beautiful images that help tell your story. However, I never want to interfere or encroach on your space, your energy, as well as the birth workers, hard at work in the room. I pay close attention to what is needed and not needed from moment to moment. Sometimes that means I can step in for a photo, and other times I just need to step back and give you the space you need for the hard work of your labor process.
Every family I photograph is a very different story. Some stories. Some a long drawn out stories that capture your journey, others have been over in minutes. But each story I capture is unique to you and your family, as well as your needs. If you invite me in to capture your birth story, I want to make sure to get to know you to understand your personality and expectations of the me as I step into the birthing room.
I provide birth photography as well as videography services, depending upon your preferences. I am available to clients giving birth within 30 minutes of the City of Tacoma. I do hospital, births a birthing centers or home births. If you choose me as your birth photographer, we will set up a meeting to get to know each other, discuss your comfort levels of what you do and don't want captured in the photos, as well as create a plan for the day of your birth. Each birth is unique, some may emphasize the labor process, some have more focus on postpartum photos. It depends on the story of your journey.
*If you would like me to stay longer to capture additional family members meeting baby or a Fresh 48 of you and baby after you've had time to cleanup, let me know in your inquiry form.
* If you would prefer a film over photos, contact me for more details.
