Why hire a birth photographer?
There are so so many reasons you may decide to hire a photographer to document your birth. The moments you don’t ever want to forget. To look back on the beauty within your birth. How you were so loved, how much power you displayed, and the first few moments of meeting your new baby. Here are 5 top reasons to hire a birth photographer in Kansas City you may not be thinking about.
You may never love your husband more than while he is supporting you through your labor.
I see it all the time, snapshots of pure connection, of pure love in between contractions and moments of intense labor. There will never be a time where your husband can support you so intensely. He will provide for your wellbeing effortlessly. Your connection will grow and your love will intensify. Where it’s almost palpable.
“I wish I had done that!”
When meeting new people I am often asked what I do. After the initial shock and a quick explanation that birth photography isn’t just “down there” photos, the next comment I am often told is “Ohhh, I wish I had done that!” or some variation. Mostly the knowledge of birth photography wasn’t known to them and they missed out on having their birth photographed.
What if you had an image of when you met the love of your life?
You hire a wedding photographer to capture the moments you don’t ever want to forget. It makes sense right? We are used to the idea of hiring a wedding photographer for one of the biggest days of your life, marrying your best friend. But what if we did the same when we prepare to meet the love of your life? THE moment you meet your new child. The moment after 9 long months of preparing, you get to meet this new life. The newest addition to your family. It is also the moment where you meet the new you and your new husband.
Women can look beautiful while giving birth.
A friend of mine recently found out she is pregnant, and of course being her friend, I will absolutely be there to document her birth. She asked if she would look as beautiful as the women she sees in birth images, if she would be depicted in the same way. Birth isn’t just one moment, it is full of moments that are beautiful. Showing you how strong you are, how supported you are, and how much love was in the room.
Allow each person to truly experience your birth with you.
I get it. It may be easy to just have your husband, your doula/friend, or your midwife take a few quick photos. In my experience seeing these photos, the angles are not flattering, the images are usually blurry, and it distracts the person taking them, from their role in supporting you. Hire a birth photographer who is focused on capturing each moment.
