Birth Photography FAQ
I don’t want lots of people at my birth, will a Photographer be too much?
As your birth photography I endeavour to be as unimposing as possible, a bit like a ‘fly on the wall’. My role is to capture your story as it unfolds, with minimal to no interference. Some of my clients have said they didn't even notice me documenting their birth.
When should I book?
Generally you should get in touch as soon as you know you want a photographer. I only take 1-2 clients each month to ensure my availability so spaces are limited. Your booking is not confirmed until you have signed your contract and paid your deposit.
How much is the deposit?
To confirm your booking I require a signed contract and a 20% non-refundable deposit.
What areas and hospitals do you services?
I accept homebirth clients between Mandurah and Perth, and service clients birthing in hospital at Armadale Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, King Edward Memorial Hospital, Peel Health Campus, Rockingham General Hospital, St John of God Murdoch Hospital and Family Birth Centre at King Edward Memorial Hospital.
I can service hospital births outside of these, but may need to charge an additional travel fee.
What is your turn around time for images?
You will receive several sneak peek photos within 48 hours of your birth. You will have your final birth gallery within a maximum of 6 weeks, but my turn around time is usually closer to 2-3 weeks.
Do you have a question?
Have I missed something? Complete my contact form below and I'll respond to your question within 24 hours.
Can I have a Birth Photographer at the Hospital?
Birth photography is increasing in popularity and most hospitals are comfortable having a photographer in the room. Mutual admiration and respect means that your birthing team and photographer interact in a way that makes the most of your experience. It’s good practice to inform your care provider during your pregnancy, and to have your Photographer listed as a birth support person.
Generally speaking, a Photographer will not be permitted into theatre in the case of an in labour/emergency caesarean section.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yep! As long as full payment is made by 35 weeks you can pay in as many interest free instalments as you like. In special circumstances you can even continue to make payments after your baby is born. Although you wont receive your images until full payment is received.
What if I go into labour in the middle of the night, on a weekend, or on a public holiday?
I will be there. No matter the day or time, once you have booked with me I have committed to being on call for you 24/7 in the weeks surrounding your estimated due date. Things like peak hour or holiday traffic may mean it takes me longer than expected to reach you, but I will get there no matter what!
When do you get to the birth and how long do you stay?
If you’re birthing in hospital I generally meet you there shortly after you arrive. If you’re having an induction you should phone me when it starts, and ask me to head in once you are in active labour. If you’re birthing at home I’ll arrive once you’re surges/contractions are well established and you’re in active labour. Its important I don’t arrive too early as this can cause disruption and slow or stall your labour, and may mean that by the time you are birthing I am not working at my best. I will generally stay for 1-2 hours after your birth to capture your magical golden hour. If you'd like newborn or family photos another day, these can be accessed at 10% off.
What happens if you are sick or injured?
If reasons beyond my control mean that I cannot attend your birth you will have a back up photographer replace me. I will complete the post-production editing process to ensure the final images are so aligned to my portfolio as possible.
