FAQs

Do you accept payment plans?

Yes! I do require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your due date in my calendar. The rest is due by your 37 week mark, when I officially go on call. We can discuss a payment plan that works for you.

how will i receive my photos and how long will it take?

All galleries are delivered via online link through Pixieset. You will receive a “Sneak Peek” gallery within 48 hours of your session. Your full gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks of our session.

how does birth photography work?

First, we start by booking a free phone or video consultation. In this call we will go over what it is you are looking for in a photographer and overall experience, any labor history, and just get to know each other. Next, we sign contracts and put down a deposit. After that, we keep in close contact throughout the remainder of your pregnancy, I go on call at 37 weeks and shortly after that we meet your baby!

do you travel?

I travel up to 2 hours. (I will travel further than 2 hrs for non-birth sessions for an additional travel fee). Given the unpredictable nature of birth, traveling more than 2 hours is really just playing with fire. Mayyyybe for a first time birther, as those tend to be lengthier labor and deliveries. But I want to ensure I can make it to your birth, so especially for subsequent births it’s best to stick close to home!

how do you know when to come?

Good communication is really the special ingredient here. Ideally I’d like to know as soon as you think you are experiencing any signs of labor. That way I can ensure my bags are packed and start arranging childcare to be on standby. I aim to arrive once active labor is established (contractions are stronger, regular, and close together).

what happens if you miss my birth?

Hopefully, I won’t. Again, communication is of the utmost importance. Yep, even if it’s 2 a.m. and yep, even if you’re not sure. I’d rather be there for a false alarm than miss the real thing.

But, sometimes life happens. Especially in our current climate with Covid-19; some things are left out of our control.

If I miss the moment of birth, I will still arrive as soon as possible to the place of birth to document the moments after.

If I miss the event all together, we can choose to put the balance towards other sessions, such as Welcome Home, Postpartum, Newborn and Family.

do you offer bundle packages?

Yes! If you are interested in bundling Maternity, Birth and Postpartum, or any other variation of sessions I offer, I will gladly offer a discount and provide package pricing upon request.
