It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera.
They are made with the eye, heart, and head.

Sarah and Andy
Choosing Aimee as our birth photographer was the best decision we ever made. She is such a caring and positive soul, that we felt immediately comfortable for her to be present at what turned out to be some of the most challenging and intimate moments of our lives.
Memories are worth everything
Why hire a birth photographer?
I liken birth photography similar to getting your wedding photographed. Your wedding day is special, is an important moment in your life that you want documented so you can look back over it and remember every little detail. Why wouldn't you want the same thing for the day your babe comes earthside? This is the day that everything changes. For me, the person before each of my babies were born is PBA (pre baby Aimee) and having the instance where my world shifted on its axis is so sentimental to me! You grew this baby, you birthed this baby like a warrior, and birth photography is a testament to your incredible strength.
In birth do you take photos of everything- even down there?!
Yes and no. Prior to the birth, at one of our many meetings, we will sit down and work out a shot list. If you want images of the baby crowning, amazing, if you don't want any shots of the birthing part but rather the small moments and emotions, that's totally a ok! I am a part of your birthing team, so your preferences and comfort is important to me.
What happens if you can't make my birth?
In the very unlikely, though not impossible, event that I am covering another birth or unwell, I will arrange a backup photographer. I have a list to pull from and they will capture your birth but I will still edit the gallery.
Will having a photographer there interrupt the intimacy of birth?
Nope. I have never experienced or felt as though my presences has impeded the tender loving moments between birthing women and their lovers. In fact, it's the opposite. Having someone else there to capture all those moments allows your birthing support to focus entirely on you and the babe.
Do I need to let my care providers know I have hired a photographer?
Yes, absolutely. Usually, I will pass on my details and reach out to introduce myself so we aren't meeting on the day of the birth. Birth photography is still rather new, and many medical professionals worry that having a photographer means I will get in the way. I will never get in the way, I respect the job your birth team needs to do. I also respect the privacy of the team and avoid shooting identifying details unless I have their consent.
