Free birth photography, is there such a thing? Well for one lucky person there is. I have decided to branch out from my regular newborn photography sessions and start offering birthing sessions and I am giving away a session to one lucky person!
So what is birth photography? When I talk to most people their response is ewe, gross, why would you want photos of that? Well my response is, why wouldn’t you? Then I explain what exactly birth photography is. If you have had a baby you know that those memories of the day they are born fade, and you are left with a few mental images of that first time you hold that little miracle in your arms. Birthing sessions are not about capturing the “mess” of birth, they are about capturing those special intimate moments, those memories that fade over time. It is about capturing each little detail, that first breath, the first time you see and hold that little person that has been growing inside you, that first moment when a couple becomes parents, when a boy becomes a big brother, when a girl becomes a big sister, when a Mother becomes a Grandmother. Who wouldn’t want moments like this to cherish forever? I can tell you after having two children that I fully regret not capturing the day I brought my children into this world.
So now that I have hopefully changed the way you think about birth photography, I want to tell you about what I am looking for. I am looking for someone in the Austin, Texas area that is due within the next few months and who is preferably doing a home birth or delivering at a birthing center to allow me to be there during the birth and capture all of these beautiful memories. The session will be completely free and you will receive the images from the day with printing rights. All I ask in return is that I can use a select few images in my portfolio. If this is something you are interested in please contact me through my website or Facebook page for full details. If you know anyone who would love this opportunity please be sure to share this post with them!
