Capturing Life’s Most Precious Moments: Birth Photography

Birth sessions hold a special place in my heart—they're truly some of the most rewarding sessions I photograph. While I can't always guarantee my availability due to the unpredictable nature of births, I make every effort to be there to capture your journey into parenthood.

I schedule sessions around your due date and maintain close communication as the big day approaches. Knowing details about doctor appointments and progress helps me plan effectively. If you're delivering in Mankato or New Ulm, I'll do everything possible to be there on time. However, for locations farther away, there's a higher risk I may not make it in time.

My birth photography package is priced at $450+tax, which includes up to three hours of coverage and a minimum of 25 edited images with print release. Additional hours are charged at $75/hour, but I'm happy to stay longer if needed, even if it means quietly working in the background.

Transparency is key—I don't want to promise something I can't deliver. If circumstances like my son's football game two hours away on a Friday night coincide with your rapid labor, there's a chance I may not arrive in time. It's a scenario I prefer to discuss upfront to manage expectations.

I'm dedicated to documenting your birth story with sensitivity and professionalism. Your trust means everything to me, and I'm committed to capturing these irreplaceable moments as they unfold.

If you're considering birth photography or have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'd love to chat about how I can help preserve this extraordinary moment in your life.

Warm regards,
