You’ve decided that you’d love more information about birth photography or doula support (or both!) Great! Send me a message, and we will set up a free virtual consultation. After that call you receive my contract and photo release forms to fill out, an invoice, and an intake form if you’d like to move forward with booking! To get on my schedule I require a 25% initial payment and signed contract/release, with the remainder of the invoice due at 38 weeks.

We all know memories and family heirlooms are priceless, but unfortunately I have to put a price on my services providing these! A birth story package is $1,200 plus tax - doula support is $1,200 plus tax, and if you bundle the two together the cost is $1,800 plus tax!

I go on call when you reach 38 weeks, until your babe arrives. This means at that point I am 100 percent waiting on your “go-time” text or call. I stay close to home, won’t drink alcohol, won’t leave the house without my camera gear, and have a babysitter (or three) on speed dial (who may grumble but know I may have to contact them at all hours of the night!) Twenty-four/seven, day, night, in the rain or the snow, Fourth of July or at my own doctor’s appointment, I will drop what I am doing to come to you, to document your birth story and support you during this transformative moment in your life.

I am not at your birth to be in the way, to upstage you, or draw your attention away from the hard work you’re accomplishing. In fact, I’m there as a hand picked member of your birth team, and am always aware of the vibe in your space so I blend in with the rest of your support people seamlessly. I’m very conscientious when I’m documenting, and carefully choose my images to provide the least amount of distraction.

I am a trained and certified doula, and a human being, and if you need someone to hold your hand, give you a massage or hip squeeze, get you a drink, tell you how much of a freaking rock star you are, or hold space for you while you do the hard work, I’m your gal. Oh, and the cool part? I can document AND support you at the same time, so you don’t have to choose one over the other.

If your birth involves a cesarean section, I continue to document as far as hospital permissions allow. If you REALLY want me in that OR you have to advocate with the hospital for me to join you! If I’m not able to follow you, I will try to send my backup camera with your partner or a nurse to continue to document your story. Regardless of what happens, I’ll be waiting in recovery for you and your babe to continue to weave your story with photographs.

Because birth is so unpredictable, and every birth is unique and weaves its own story, I don’t promise a set number of images, however I would expect to deliver at least 100.
