IMAGINE WHAT IF…
1. You didn't have to worry about fumbling with the camera throughout your baby's birth day.
2. You had each and every detail artistically and professionally filmed and photographed.
3. You had no regrets when it came to giving birth to your baby.
There are moments in life that change everything.
The moment your baby takes their first breath. The moment your partner sees your child for the first time. The moment you realize your family will never be the same again.
Birth moves fast. The emotions are overwhelming. And when it’s all happening, most parents are simply trying to stay present in the experience.
That’s why many families choose to work with a Professional birth photographer and filmmaker: so they can relive the story later.
Through birth photography and cinematic birth films in Palm Beach County, your baby’s arrival becomes something your family can return to for the rest of your lives.
Not just the moment they were born… But the entire story of how they were welcomed into the world.

Suzane! I feel at a loss for words because there aren’t enough words to describe just how incredibly grateful we are for you. We watched your masterpiece last night and we were both absolutely blown away and in tears the entire time. We could not stop saying how amazing it was and better than we could’ve ever imagined. There is no way we can ever thank you enough for documenting that beautiful night and giving us this to treasure and cherish for a lifetime. It is absolutely priceless and the best money we’ve ever spent without a doubt. We will be sharing it with family and friends and can’t wait to show Elijah when he’s old enough. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU!

Why Documenting Birth Matters More Than Most Parents Realize
Most parents assume they will remember everything. But birth is emotional, intense, and incredibly fast.
Many mothers later realize they don’t remember many moments:
Their partner’s reaction.
The exact second their baby arrived.
The first time they held their child.
That’s why professional birth photography has become one of the most meaningful investments families make. And when cinematic birth films are added, something magical happens:
You don’t just see the moment again. You feel it again.
Your baby’s first cry.
Your partner’s voice.
The room filled with emotion.
Years from now, your child will be able to watch the story of how they entered the world and how much you loved them from the first second.
And that is something photographs alone can never fully capture.

Birth Films & Photos FAQ
-
Absolutely, I am on call 24 hours.
-
No. A professional birth photographer works quietly and respectfully with your medical team. Most parents say they forget the camera is even there.
-
Definitely, we will go over exactly what you are and are not comfortable with and you may ask any other questions you might have when we get together.
-
Each birth experience is unique and different. A longer labor and delivery will result in more imagery. You can expect to receive around 100+ edited images.
-
You will receive digital images (film and photos) via online gallery for download up to 8 weeks after giving birth, however, my goal is to deliver as fast as possible. You will likely receive the photos before the film. The images will include black and white, as well as color.
The Birth Premium Package includes some Announcement Photos + a social media Mini Film delivered within 48h.
A range of professional print products sourced from the best professional print labs will be available for additional purchase at the Shop tab in the online gallery. If you need any additional help with prints, I'm more than happy to give you advice.
-
Because of the intimate nature of birth videography and photography, you absolutely have the opportunity to approve all images before they are shared with family and friends.
-
Most hospitals in Palm Beach County allow photographers as long as hospital policies are respected.
-
Yes, I can. However, you have to work with an OBGYN and a hospital that will allow me to go with you inside the OR. Unfortunately, some hospitals do not allow videography or photography for liability reasons. Every birth experience is worth documenting and I will go anywhere you go. There are still many important moments I’m able to capture during your hospital stay, even if I’m not allowed in the OR.
-
Birth stories are unpredictable, and coverage is designed to adapt to hospital births, home births, and birth center deliveries.
-
Documenting a birth is like having a bride saying that she wants you to come to photograph her wedding, but isn’t going to set a date. She’ll just call you whenever. And when you ask her how many hours of coverage she would like, she says she’s not sure, probably around 24, but maybe only 2. And you ask her when she’d like for you to start coverage and she says she won’t know, but probably around 2 am. And also, that she doesn’t want any use of flash. And, she’s going to want the images right away to send out announcements.
Life is lived in motion. Your memories should be too.
We’re available for births at homes, birth centers, or at hospitals in Palm Beach County, but we only take two births per month. A typical birth with film and photos includes:

“Wow, thanks so much! I’m in tears crying like a baby. It’s amazing that I will have this for life! When I first started watching the video I thought I was going to be able to keep it together, but seeing the birth from a third person’s perspective was emotionally overwhelming and I could take myself back to that moment. It was beautiful to be able to look back and see all that!”
