A: Absolutely. When you book with me, you will sign a legally-binding contract that will allow you to choose the level of privacy that you wish to have. You will also have the option of reviewing your birth gallery and videos before I post anything so you can note what you are comfortable with/not comfortable with sharing. 

A: C-Sections happen! They are still counted as a birth. We are grateful for the medical advancements that are available to keep everyone safe. Birth is birth, no matter how it occurs, and I absolutely can and have documented c-sections, as this can help you process your birth experience. I have a prewritten letter that you can share with your provider to advocate for having your birth photographer in the room. If this still won't be allowed,  I can grab the moments before and those precious moments after. If you know you are having a C-section, chat with your OB beforehand, let them know I have been certified and know how to handle myself in the sterile environment of the OR. You will most likely only be allowed one person in the room with you, so whether you want me there or your partner is totally up to you! 

A: Absolutely.  I can make a personalized payment plan for you. I also take most major credit cards and Affirm. I just ask that your payment is at least halfway complete by your 37th week.  I will not edit your photos until I am paid in full. 

A: I was certified and trained by the Birth Becomes You team, Jenn and Monet, in both birth photography AND videography, and I have photographed home births, epidural births, c-section births, surrogate births, unmedicated births in a birthing center, premature births, and births that happened exactly on their due date ;). I am also a DONA certified doula as well.  I am happy to help advocate for your birth wishes in the birth space.

A:This can happen, as well! Birth is so unpredictable! I do have backup photographers and doulas that are on-call as well, and we cover each other for births if we are out-of-town, but if baby comes super quickly, I'll get there as soon as possible and document all of the events following the birth. There are definitely no guarantees, as I will do my very best. Ill offer you a complimentary Fresh 48 if this is the case! :) You are essentially responsible for communicating with me in a timely manner, and I am responsible for being on-call and available within reason.
