Fifteen Years of Birth Photography

I cannot believe that I have been documenting births for 15 years!! It sure has evolved significantly over this time. Photos from a birth used to mainly consist of a few casual snapshots taken by family members or staff, often limited to posed moments after delivery. Today, birth photography includes everything from the labour process, the actual birth, and all those beautiful first moments following birth. Ya know, the moment you lay eyes on your baby, their sweet cry, cutting the cord, learning to latch, along with so many moments that would be otherwise forgotten due to the overwhelming rush, especially from the birthing mother’s perspective who gets a limited view of everything. Having your birth photographed by a professional birth photographer allows everyone to be fully present in this magical life changing moment and it leaves you with the entire birth story documented in a way that is so flattering and intentional, highlighting those real raw emotional connections.

Here, grab some tissues and watch this beautiful birth story so you know what I am talking about.

What has changed over the last 15 years to make this form of photography more sought out than ever before? I think the transformation is fuelled by the rise of social media. Not only do we have this new level of appreciation for authentic storytelling which has made us value documenting major life events with professional artistry. It has also helped normalize and celebrate birth in all its forms, encouraging more openness around what was once considered a private or taboo topic. If you are someone who shared your birth experience whether through words and/or pictures, know that you have contributed to this incredible change which has given expecting parents the gift of empowerment.

Because births are unpredictable, I can only book a limited amount, so it’s always best to contact me sooner rather than later. But for all you people reading this who are due soon, don’t fret! Reach out anyway! Each birth books a 5 week period in my calendar. Once baby is born, I open up that spot, so last minute inquiries are possible.

A Spooky Mario Party

These 4 have such an incredible bond that together they can take on the mad sun, wild turtles, and any other obstacle that gets in their way. But on Halloween they went up a level and braved the spooky world to collect candy instead of coins.

And oh boy! As they walked that spooky path they accumulated so much candy. But as it got darker and spookier they needed some extra help. Without Yoshi they were not confident they could get to the creepy castle at the end. Luckily they met up with some sort of wild rooster who joined forces with Mario, Luigi, Princess, and Toad. However, a few blocks before entering the creepy castle, Mario got a game over. Womp Womp! The others weren’t sure they would make it to the end without him. Especially when they lost the rooster at the entrance of the creepy castle. But they did it! So with bags full of candy, these cute gamers headed home to spend the next few days indulging in all the sugar!

Now that I have pretty much completed 12 years of documenting my children’s childhood trick or treating adventures, I think it’s time to offer this special holiday adventure to other families. So sign up to receive the quarterly newsletter if you want to participate in the halloween adventure draw next year! Who will be the lucky family who wins and gets their Halloween adventures documented?! It will include a fun halloween themed creative portrait too!
