Birth Photography Pricing

I’m so happy you are interested in birth photography! Hopefully you have had a chance to read through my Birth Photography Information page, and also to view my Blog Posts from some of the births I have had the joy of photographing.

Birth Photography pricing includes me being on call 24/7 beginning at 38 weeks, photography during your active labor, the birth, and an hour or two postpartum, for the first time nursing, you and your partner bonding with the new baby, and in some cases siblings meeting the baby for the first time. I provide you with at least one picture within 24 hours of the birth, and some of my clients use that to announce their baby’s birth on Facebook. Approximately four-six weeks later, you receive an online slideshow set to music, a gallery for ordering low priced prints from a professional lab, and the edited high resolution photos via e-mail download. As a birth client, you will receive 50% discounts on expecting baby, just born, and newborn documentary sessions. The regular price for those is $1085 each, including the relaxed 1-3 hour session and 50 or more pictures (slideshow + online gallery with high resolution file download).

Birth Photography: $2,200

Birth Photography + One Session (Expecting Baby, Just Born, or Newborn Documentary): $2,742.50

Birth Photography + Two Sessions (Expecting Baby, Just Born, Newborn Documentary): $3,285

Birth Photography + All Three Sessions (Expecting Baby, Just Born, Newborn Documentary): $3,827.50

While I do request the full birth photography fee prior to being on call, I am happy to offer flexibility with payment plans prior to the on call date, and would be happy to discuss those with you.

I would love to schedule a time to chat on the phone with you and your partner or meet you both in person to talk about your birth plan and your questions. Please let me know your preference and when is a good time for you!
