birth photography Arizona FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

When do you arrive during birth?

I am on call beginning at 38 weeks, but clients have my phone number and I strongly encourage sending updates once doctors appointments and checks begin so that I am kept in the loop. I typically like to show up to the hospital once clients hit 7cm and I stay until around an hour after birth to capture all of those sweet fresh moments..

What if I have a C-section?

If allowed, I’ll photograph in the OR. If not, I’ll capture all the surrounding moments before and after with the same care.

What if labor goes fast?

Call me as soon as labor starts! Even if I miss delivery, there are still so many powerful moments to capture after. I typically like to arrive around 7 cm though just to decrease the risk of missing the birth.

Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely! The retainer to book is 25% and then the balance remaining won’t be due until a month prior to your due date or for regular sessions it is due day of. Clients who want to make payments aside from that can make a plan that works best for them wether that is monthly payments or whenever you’d like.

Will my photos be shared?

Only with your permission. Your privacy and comfort always come first.

You only give birth to this baby once.
