Capturing Your Birth Story: Understanding the Cost of Birth Photography
“Birth is a life-changing experience that you'll never forget, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.”
Are you interested in birth photography, but you're worried about the cost? I get it; birth photography can be expensive, and it's important to understand why. Let's talk about it!
Birth photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.
As a birth photographer, I'm not just a skilled photographer, but I also have a deep understanding of childbirth and the birthing process. I know how to work with low light situations, respect your privacy and intimacy, and most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most.
Birth photography takes a lot of time.
Births can last a few hours or even up to a day or more. As your birth photographer, I'm on-call 24/7 leading up to your due date, and I'll often spend several hours editing and processing the photos after the birth to ensure that the final product meets my high standards and your expectations.
The cost of birth photography includes more than just the time spent at the birth and editing the photos.
It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. Additionally, as a birth photographer, I invest in ongoing training and education to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.
How much is birth photography in Kearney?
The cost of a birth photographer can vary depending on experience and the services and products offered. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000. This can be a package for a birth photography package that includes digital files with a print release (which means the ability to print an unlimited number of images at the lab of your choice). It may also include an album.
I always include an album in my birth packages. As a mom, I know how hard it is to find the time to print an album yourself. I am a little embarrassed to say it took me four years to print my oldest son’s birth album. Printing just falls to the bottom of a to-do list. I am so glad I can do this for my clients so they can have an album in hand to enjoy.
I have also had six couples lose their digital files from their birth. Thankfully I have always been able to reunite the families with their images. However, I do not guarantee to hold a copy forever, so if anything happens to the digital files, I want to make sure my clients still have their memories preserved in an album to enjoy. I personally love looking at my children’s albums every birthday.
Birth is a life-changing experience that you'll never forget, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.
These photos are not just for you; they're a gift to your child. They'll show them how loved and welcomed they were from the very beginning, and these images will be cherished by you, your child, and your family for generations to come.
I want to make sure that everyone who wants to capture their birth story through photography has the opportunity to do so. That's why I offer payment plans to make the investment more manageable. I'm committed to making sure that you can have access to the beautiful, timeless images that you deserve!
Birth photography may seem expensive, but it's an investment in preserving memories, celebrating life, and honoring the birthing process.
So, if you're considering birth photography, know that it's worth every penny and more!
Don’t just take my word for it ;) Here is what one of my clients had to say about their investment:
Birth is such a transformative time. I wanted to be able to look back at my birth. I love that I have an album to always look through the beautiful photos. It’s honestly one of the most cherished items in my home. It was worth every penny we invested. I am so happy with our investment.
