If you’re here to learn more about Gypsy Fern Photography and the beauty of birth, it’s probably because you’re expecting or know someone who is! Congratulations!

 

As a birth photographer, it fills my heart with so much joy to hold space for each and every mama as she meets her baby for the first time. I have photographed births in birth centers, homes, and hospitals, including vaginal births and cesareans. Every birth is unique, powerful, and transformative and I’m never left without a sense of awe and wonder after each birth. So here are a few details of how Gypsy Fern Photography will help document the beauty of your birth:

 

-First and foremost, let’s chat! It can be over the phone, maybe over a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop, or even over breakfast at your favorite hole in the wall, pregnancy craving-got-to-eat-it diner. I want to get to know YOU, your journey to motherhood, and what you want captured from this experience. I also want to share with you about why I don’t just click a camera, but I pour my heart and soul into creating stunning art from your motherhood journey.

​

-I’m on call for you from 37 weeks of pregnancy, 24/7, until you deliver. Yes, even if you don’t deliver at or before 40 weeks, I’m still on call for you. Your baby is staying cozy and not ready to meet the world yet? No worries! I’m still on call, 41 weeks and counting...42… When the time is right, I will drop everything to come to your birth location and document this amazing time.

​

-I will document the moments that matter most to you that day while staying as out of the way and “fly on the wall” as possible. I want you to remember your sweet baby and their first cry, not the photographer in your face. After baby is born I typically stay for 1-2 hours to capture the first feeding, APGAR, weights and measurements, and even first meeting with older siblings or extended family.

​

-You’ll receive a sneak peek from your birth session within 24 hours. Approximately 3-5 weeks after the birth of your baby, I’ll deliver 75-150 gorgeous, hand edited, high resolution images on a custom USB drive. Depending on your preferences, I also offer beautiful Italian hand made leather albums, photo books, and custom gifts to further document your birth session.

Mama, I’m so EXCITED to meet you and your sweet baby! Call me soon so we can chat about your motherhood experience!
