Are you interested in birth photography, but you're worried about the cost?


As a Fort Sill and Lawton, Oklahoma birth photographer I get it; birth photography can be expensive, and it's important to understand

why.

Let's talk about it!

My first son was born in 2016, we were stationed right here in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I knew I wanted it documented. I heard about the blur, of the brain fog of birth. I wanted to see that photo of when I first saw our baby. We were having a surprise gender and I wanted to know these images held this moment when Tony and I found out together.

Birth photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.

 

As a birth photographer in Lawton, Oklahoma, I'm not just a skilled photographer, but I also have a deep understanding of childbirth and the birthing process. I know how to work with low light situations, respect your privacy and intimacy, and most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most.

Birth photography takes a lot of time.

Births can last a few hours or even up to a day or more. As your birth photographer, I'm on-call 24/7 leading up to your due date, and I'll often spend several hours editing and processing the photos after the birth to ensure that the final product meets my high standards and your expectations. To capture your labor, delivery, and staying for the weight check and the details of your first family photograph, babies stats, and first time nursing, meet and greet if they've been waiting in the lobby. Making this a complete milestone that you and your spouse get to be fully present in the moment of meeting your little one.

The cost of birth photography includes more than just the time spent at the birth and editing the photos.

It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. Additionally, as a Lawton, Ok birth photographer, I invest in ongoing training and education to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.

Our story did NOT end with a birth photographer like we planned. The big Army moved us to another state while 8 months pregnant.

We did not get to have this moment I dreamed to hold.


Because of this I'm so passionate to preserve your story.

Additionally, I'm open to bartering services occasionally, so it never hurts to ask about these options. I'm committed to making sure that you can have access to the beautiful, timeless images that you deserve!
