The Schauer Family: Tacoma Family Photographer

My session with the Schauers may take the cake for being my favorite family session yet. It was really important for Nicole to have some yummy golden light, which I’m pretty sure golden light is my love language. But what I loved even more about it was they wanted the photos done at home, where most of their family memories are made. And we all know with kids in photos they aren’t going to be perfect, but that’s what made it so perfect, because the kids were just kids. They were silly and fun, and maybe a teeny cranky. But that’s what makes it so so so beautiful. This is what we remember about our kids. And that light just wrapped it all up into such a sacred beauty of how we wish to remember our family life with our kids while they are little. Thanks Schauer family, you guys were wonderful!

    Birth Photos that Bring to life the Epic Story that you will tell your children over and over again.

    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.

     

     

     

     

    Raw and Honest photos that capture your journey to parenthood

    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.

    Birth Photos Include:

     

    - The Labor Process

     

    - Details of the room

     

    - Your support team

     

    - Babies Arrival

     

    - ONe hour of Postpartum Time getting aquainted with Baby

     

    *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.
