Your Birth Story Matters:The Value of Professional Birth Photography

The day your baby is born is one of the most life-changing days you will ever experience. The emotions, the love, the strength—it all unfolds in a way that can be hard to fully remember once the whirlwind has passed. That’s where birth photography comes in.

As a Seattle birth photographer, I am passionate about helping families preserve the story of their child’s arrival through timeless, heartfelt images. Birth photography is about more than photos—it’s about honoring your story, your strength, and your baby’s very first moments.

Every Birth Story is Unique

No two births are the same. Some babies make a quick and surprising entrance, while others take their time. Some stories unfold at home in the soft glow of lamplight, others in the support-filled space of a hospital or birth center.

Birth photography captures the details that make your story unique:

• The quiet moments of labor

• The support of your partner or birth team

• The first time you hold your baby

• The tiny details—wrinkled fingers, soft hair, brand-new cries

These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.

*I have attended births in client’s homes, hospitals, and birth centers in the Seattle as well as surrounding cities. Your birth (even c-section births) can be documented.

Be Fully Present in Your Birth Space

One of the greatest gifts of hiring a professional birth photographer is that you and your partner can be fully present. There’s no need to fumble with a phone or worry about missing the first breath, the first cry, or the first look of love.

As your photographer, I move quietly and respectfully. I honor your space and your wishes while documenting your story as it unfolds naturally. My goal is always for you to feel supported and at ease, knowing that these once-in-a-lifetime moments are being thoughtfully preserved.

Memories That Grow More Meaningful With Time

The beauty of birth photos is that their value only deepens with the years. In the early days, they remind you of your strength and the love that surrounded you. As your child grows, they’ll be able to see the story of their arrival—the joy and anticipation that welcomed them into the world.

Birth photography creates a legacy, a way for your family to look back on the very beginning of your baby’s life and feel that love all over again.

Why I Photograph Births

For me, this work is deeply personal. As a Seattle birth photographer, I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and worthy of being documented with tenderness and respect. I want mothers to see their strength reflected back at them, and families to have tangible reminders of the day their lives changed forever.

Your story deserves to be remembered. It would be my honor to capture it for you.
