From the unpredictability of natural childbirth to the planned nature of a C-section, new mothers and fathers are preparing for an experience that can never be replicated, and birth photographers help them capture this special moment.

Birth photos can seem a bit strange at first. But if you had a photographer at your wedding, why not have a photographer there to document your baby’s first moments of life?

A couple of reasons why you might want photos of that:

1. To look at each year as your child grows and remembers.
2. To create family heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation. What better way to convey your child’s first story?
3. To record THAT moment. That first moment when you finally hold your baby in your arms.
4. Remember. You’d be surprised at the degree of trance you’ll go into during labor. You may not remember many moments of your birth, and photos will help you process them later.
5. To document your strength in childbirth.
6. To document the first moments of this incredible new journey that you and your partner are on together.

Have you thought about hiring a birth photographer? Why did you want to document these moments? Or if something holds you back, what scares you about birth photography?
