She is what I like to call a birth photographer PLUS....she is helpful and encouraging, supportive during labour and postpartum, and knowledgeable about the birth and postpartum experience, which is so valuable during such a vulnerable and life changing time in a person’s life. She captures the details that you might have missed at the time, but are so thankful to be able to reflect on and cherish after the fact. Top to bottom, a genuine pleasure to work with.

Commonly Asked Questions about Birth Photography with Shea

 

How does On-Call Work?

I go on call for my clients the moment I receive a deposit and signed contract. No matter what time of day, no matter what gestation, I always want to be there to support you and document your baby’s arrival.

 

How many images do we receive with our gallery?

I guarantee a minimum of 75 images in a birth gallery. But I often exceed this. The number of images depends on a number of factors including the length of labour, how mobile you are, care provider preferences, etc…

 
 

Can we have you as a doula and birth photographer?

Yes! Absolutely. I love supporting and educating my clients just as much as I love documenting their birthing journey! Having less people in your birth space can be important to some people, so having a professional who can fill both roles is a great option for some families! 


 
 

How much does Birth Photography cost?

I offer an assortment of collections and payment plans to work with all different families, so please…
