We had a birth photographer with our last chuld, and I must say it was the best money we spent. She captured so many beautiful moments, it shows all the emotions you are feeling while your waiting for your little one yo arrive and then all the love once they are here. I recommend it to everyone. I cherish my birth photos and am so glad we made the decision to do it. Our photographer was awesome, we had gone over what we wanted, and the calm atmosphere I wanted while laboring. And there were times I forgot she was even there. It was just an amazing experience all around

In reply to Pam. Thanks so much for commenting Pam. I agree that we do need a new birth narrative in our culture!

Those are gorgeous photos! I didn’t have a professional photographer at the births of either of my daughters.. The first time I didn’t really consider it, the second time I figured I didn’t want an extra person present for the birth. The pictures we do have, though the quality is mediocre, are very special to me. If we do it again, I would definitely want a professional photographer. Not just to capture the moment, but also to show my girls that birth doesn’t have to be scary, it can be beautiful. We need more of that kind of birth narrative in our culture, as far as I’m concerned.
