HOW DOES BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY WORK?
1. Schedule a call
We will start by hopping on the phone to get a feel for one another. I'll walk you through my process and everything I offer, and you'll have the opportunity to ask all of your burning questions. If we decide we're a good fit to work together, we'll move on to step 2!
2. Book your due date
Save your due date with a signed contract and a retainer. Due to the unpredictable nature of birth, I only book 2-3 births per month - and this step ensures that no one else can take your spot! I offer flexible, interest-free payment plans. I'm happy to discuss a payment schedule that works for both of us - so just ask!
3. Relax & enjoy...
Once your due date is officially booked, I will walk you through each step of the process so you're never wondering what's next. We will meet in-person at least one time prior to your birthing day so we can get to know each other a bit more before you go into labor. My goal is to NOT be another stranger in the room!
Birth Packages
When you add me to your birth team, I will be ready to drop everything for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the weeks leading up to your baby's arrival. Your investment covers 2 am wake up calls, false alarms, and unlimited hours at your birth. I will be there to capture your story - whether it happens on a random Tuesday in the middle of the day, or in the wee hours of Christmas morning.
All of my birth packages include:
- A prenatal consultation to discuss your unique preferences and customize your experience
- A gallery of 100-150 digital images (with print release) that tells the whole story
- The option to add an album and/or keepsake box to enjoy your photos in printed form
Services
I specialize in birth photography but also offer maternity, newborn, milestone, and family sessions. This allows me to capture the evolution of your family’s story from the very beginning, and throughout the years. You won’t need to find a different photographer for each new chapter; I'm here to document it all.

Milestones
Starting at $195
I LOVE capturing my birth babies as they grow! Look no further for a milestone photographer. And don't worry - I'll remind you when it's time to schedule so you never miss an important milestone!
Family
Starting at $195
Whether you're looking for a lifestyle session or more documentary, real-life moments - I'm your gal! No stuffy poses or fake smiles around here.
You'll never divorce your baby.
The typical couple will spend $2,500 - $4,000 to document their wedding day. The national divorce rate is about 42%.
I fully support investing in capturing your wedding day, but I would argue that the day your baby is born might be even more important.
You deserve to have beautiful photos to remember the next best day of your life.
Leslie captured our dream birth perfectly. She was the perfect energy in our home, exactly what we had envisioned. These photos tell a beautiful story, and that was most important to me. Would recommend this to anyone on the fence about it- birth is the biggest life event, why wouldn’t we capture it?
