Your sacred story, documented with care, reverence, and purpose.
Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most profound and holy moments a family can experience. As a Kansas City birth photographer and videographer, my mission isn’t just to take pictures—it’s to honor the sacred, preserve the fleeting, and serve your family quietly and reverently as you step into the miracle of new life.
If you’re curious about documenting your birth story—and what it’s like to invite a photographer into that intimate space—here’s a gentle walkthrough of what you can expect.
1. Presence, Not Disruption
Birth is deeply personal, intimate, and raw. My role is never to intrude or “direct,” but rather to quietly observe and document your story as it unfolds naturally. I work in near silence, using available light and subtle movements so you often won’t even notice I’m there. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or birth center delivery in Kansas City, I enter your space with deep respect—ready to begin documenting your birth story the moment you invite me in.
2. From First Waves, to First Cry
Every birth is different. Some families want me there as labor begins to intensify, while others call when they’re settled in their birth space. I remain on-call for birth photography from 38 weeks until baby arrives—day or night—ready to come when you say it’s time.
Once I arrive, I document:
- The strength and support of your birth team
- Quiet moments between contractions
- Encouraging touches from your husband
- The raw intensity and sacred quiet of labor
- The moment your baby takes their first breath
- Those tearful, joy-drenched first looks
And every now and then—when invited—I capture the holy stillness of prayer or a whispered “Thank You, Jesus” as new life enters the room.
3. Modesty and Boundaries Matter
You’re never exposed for the sake of a photo. We discuss comfort, privacy, and vision beforehand so your story feels safe, respectful, and true to you. Documenting your birth story doesn’t mean sharing every detail—it means honoring what matters most. I believe modest birth photography can walk hand-in-hand with powerful storytelling.
4. Photo + Video = Legacy
You’ll receive both still images and video, edited with intention to reflect the beauty, emotion, and spiritual atmosphere of your birth. Your gallery will be more than a timeline—it will be a visual testimony of your birth story and God’s faithfulness in your family.
As a Kansas City birth videographer, I create emotive birth films that preserve the movement, sounds, and sacred rhythm of the day you became parents.
5. We Connect Before Documenting Your Birth Story
I never walk into a birth cold. We’ll meet before your due date to talk about your hopes, your birth plan, your fears, and what moments are most important to you. This helps us build trust —ensures that documenting your birth story feels deeply personal, not performative, and it helps me capture what matters most to your heart.
6. A Ministry of Memory
This work is more than a service. For me, it’s a ministry. I’ve seen God’s hand in birth too many times to count. Whether your birth is fast or long, loud or quiet, peaceful or intense—there is glory in it. And I want to help you remember it, frame by frame., long after the tiny diapers and sleepless nights fade.
