Birth Stories
Documenting your emotional transformation into parenthood
With Birth Story coverage, I will unobtrusively photograph your unique birthing experience from active labor all the way up through the incredible special firsts of your newborn's life: first cry, first time in his/her loving parents’ arms, and so forth. Prior to your birth, we will meet in person (so we are not strangers on your delivery day), and have an in-depth discussion about your photography needs/desires as well as your comfort level with the photographs taken. I fully respect your privacy and needs as a laboring woman, and aim to provide you with a comfortable experience alongside images you are going to look back on for years to come with undeniable joy. Whether you're planning to birth at home, the Coit House, a birthing center, or at a local hospital here in WNY, I would be incredibly honored to be there to photograph your labor and the first moments of your child's life into this world.
** I fully respect the privacy of my clients, and only show client approved images. **
“Dawn captured the moments beautifully – the quiet moments, the painful moments, my husband caring for me, and the little details to truly provide a birth story... [these] photos provide with us with precious memories that I will cherish forever.”
