More Info Below
As early as you feel comfortable! Due to the ‘on call’ nature of birth photography I take a limited number of births each month, so space is limited.
A non-refundable hold-the-date retainer is required to be added to my calendar.
When should I book you?
When will you show up?
I like to arrive sometime during your active labor. If your care provider is doing cervical checks - ideally I'd like to be with you from 6 centimeters onward. If you are not being checked, I come when you have an active pattern of contractions:
For first time moms, this means a pattern of contractions 3 minutes apart, lasting for 1 minute, consistently for about an hour.
If you’ve given birth before, we look for contractions that are 5-6 minutes apart, lasting for one minute, consistently for about an hour.
What if I have a fast labor and you miss the birth?
If you're having a super fast labor, I'll make every effort to arrive with enough time to capture your full birth story, but in the unlikely event I miss your birth, I'll still come to your place of birth and take photos and document your story as it unfolds.
I will not attend your birth if I am showing contagious symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and new cough. If I am recovering from a cold, I will voluntarily wear a mask.
In case of sickness or family emergency on my part, I work with two other wonderful photographers that serve in the Charleston area who could be my backup for your birth.
In the unlikely event that my backups also miss your birth, all fees paid to date will be refunded or converted into a series of family sessions at your discretion.
What if you get sick at last minute or have an emergency and can’t make it to the birth?
What about payment plans?
I work with you to create a payment plan that works for you. There is an initial, “save-the-date” retainer of 50% with the balance paid by 38 weeks of your pregnancy.
Will you share my birth photos online?
