Let’s get real for just a minute. Let me take you back to your wedding day, or think of the wedding of your dreams. You’ve been dreaming and planning for this day for a REALLY long time. You’ve thought of the color scheme, what your dress would look like, your bridesmaids dresses, the floral, your place settings, and all the tiny little details in between. You want all that documented, so you hire the best photographer that you absolutely adore, to capture one of the happiest days of your life. You don’t have your mom or aunt take pictures on their phone because, well…it costs too much. You put the money aside and pay for the best. So why is it different with the day you give birth to your precious baby that you’ve been dreaming of and carrying for nine months? The day you give birth will be one of the best, most rewarding days of your life! Whether it’s your first or fifth! Every birth is different and every birth story should be told. It’s important that your significant other and mom are in the moment. It’s a special time for all of you to experience and for them to support you in this time. With the ability to focus on you, and the baby. Supporting you and feeling every emotion they will feel that day…feelings they’ve never experienced.
Birth photography is not weird.
Birth photography is not gross.
Birth photography is not a fad.
Birth photography is:
Capturing the raw power and strength of a mother,
the awe and love of a husband,
the excitement and joy of an older sibling,
the beauty of the first time you held your baby,
and so. much. more.
The adrenaline fades and we forget these moments. We forget (or can’t see) the reactions of those around us. We forget just how tiny and pink they were.
The day you meet your baby does not happen twice.
Put the money aside and hire a birth photographer and allow her to capture the moments that you may not remember otherwise. You won’t regret it.
