BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY LOS ANGELES
The birth of a child is one of the most incredible things you will ever experience. From that moment on you, and your partner, will be changed forever.
We would be honored to document this beautiful change. Much like a wedding, the birth of your child happens so fast, and often, you miss things. We make it our mission to preserve every moment of your child’s birth so that you can relive them over and over (and over and over) through a beautiful photographic record.
Once you hire us to capture your birth, we are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - ready to photograph your newest arrival. We strive for the utmost in creative and sensitive birth documentation. We get so much joy in capturing your journey into parenthood and older children meeting their new siblings. We also photograph many other important milestones including taking your new baby home from the hospital or, in the case of adoption or surrogacy, capturing a child’s special entrance into your family.
WHY HIRE A BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER?
The birth of your child is one of the most important and miraculous days of your life—filled with emotion, intensity, and unforgettable moments. Yet, in the whirlwind of labor and delivery, many of those moments can become a blur. Hiring a professional birth photographer ensures that this extraordinary experience is documented with care, so you can revisit it with fresh eyes for years to come.
Allowing us to capture your birth also frees up your partner or loved ones to be fully present in supporting you, rather than behind a camera. Our goal is to preserve your story with sensitivity, beauty, and intention.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
Birth photography is, at its core, documentary storytelling—raw, real, and deeply personal. No two births are alike, and we approach each one with a quiet, artistic presence that allows your story to unfold naturally. We photograph with the eyes of mothers ourselves, capturing the kinds of fleeting moments we know we’d never want to miss.
You can explore our birth photography portfolio [link to gallery] to see the range of intimate and powerful stories we’ve had the privilege to document.
WILL I MEET YOU BEFORE MY BIRTH?
Absolutely. We schedule a phone call and in-person or virtual consultation with every birth client to walk through the process, discuss your preferences, and answer any questions. Whether you have strong opinions about what you do or don’t want photographed, or you just want to get a feel for our approach, we’re here to make sure you feel completely comfortable.
WHEN DO YOU ARRIVE AT A BIRTH?
We typically join you once you are in active labor. For hospital births, we usually arrive after you've been admitted and settled into your room. Since this is Los Angeles and timing is everything, we stay in close touch throughout early labor—we’d much rather arrive early and capture more of your laboring journey than risk missing those first magical moments.
How Long Do You Stay?
We’ll be there for as long as your story takes to unfold. Typically, we stay several hours after your baby is born to document those powerful firsts: skin-to-skin, feedings, cuddles, and sibling introductions. These quiet, tender moments are some of the most cherished.
WHAT’S THE LONGEST BIRTH YOU HAVE ATTENDED?
The longest birth we’ve photographed was 3 days. Every journey is different, and we’re committed to supporting yours with patience and presence.
WHAT IF I HAVE A CESAREAN?
We’ve been able to photograph every cesarean birth we’ve attended (knock on wood!). In most cases, we’re allowed into the operating room with your partner to document the experience discreetly—from your first look at your baby to your partner’s first embrace.
That said, hospital policies vary. We’re happy to talk through your options and create a plan tailored to your birth and your hospital’s guidelines.
HOW MANY BIRTHS DO YOU BOOK A MONTH?
Because of the unpredictable nature of birth, we accept only a limited number of clients per month—usually up to three—ensuring we’re fully available and have backup support in place if needed.
HOW FAR N ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
As soon as you know you’d like to have your birth documented, we encourage you to get in touch. Our calendar fills up quickly due to the limited number of clients we take each month.
WHAT IF I WANT TO KEEP MY PHOTOS PRIVATE?
That’s completely fine. Many of our clients prefer to keep their birth images private, and we always respect that. We’ll never share your images without your explicit permission—your comfort and privacy come first.
DO YOU OFFER BIRTH ALBUMS?
We do! Birth albums are one of our most loved offerings. You’ll select your favorite images, and we’ll custom design a beautiful heirloom album for you to treasure and share with your child as they grow.
