Some moments in life stand out.

As a Winnipeg Birth Photographer, I am honored to give families the opportunity to permanently preserve these important birth moments for years to come. By hiring a Birth Photographer, you are able to capture the tiny details, and the big moments, that may otherwise fade from memory. The soft touch of a favorite nurse, reassuring words your partner whispered into your ear, and moments of both focus and frustration take stage beside the first look exchanged between mama and baby, a new latch, the meeting of older and brand new siblings. Each is unique, each is important.

 

Birth photography tells your story organically as it unfolds. No props, no posing, just a beautiful look at the strength and love shown as your family grows. During your pregnancy we will talk about which images you are most excited about capturing- and which you'd rather not! Not all birth stories feature baby emerging, and that's ok! Some families prefer to focus on the emotions, connection and new baby love of the day. All of this will be discussed ahead of time. The end result is a collection of photos that tells your unique story in a way that is tailored to your preferences.

 

Birth photography and Fresh sessions are offered for the Winnipeg area, at all home, hospital and birth centre births. I am currently accepting clients for Spring 2019 and onwards.

 

Contact me today, I'd love to be your Winnipeg Birth Photographer!

Embrace Birth Services offers Winnipeg birth photography as both a standalone service and in addition to your Winnipeg doula services. Personalized packages are available upon request. 

Capture

Capture is your dedicated Winnipeg birth photography package, focused solely on documenting each memory as you move from labor through birth to first moments with your new little one. Capture includes continuous attendance at your birth from active labor until two hours postpartum and allows me to document the big moments-- moment of birth, first glances of baby, parent reactions, as well as the work, dedication and connection showcased during labor. Sometimes the story is all in these simple details.

Investment for your Capture package is offered at a discounted portfolio building rate of $700 (Regular investment of $1000).

Complete

A combined birth doula and birth photography package offering a full complement of support. I work with your family to provide both doula and photography during these sacred hours. With experience as both a doula and professional photographer, I know just how to balance birth support with discretely capturing the memories you never want to lose, freeing up your partner to support you, without worrying about all the extras.

Complete includes a minimum of 50 images, freezing those precious early moments for years to come. Investment for Complete doula and birth photography package is $1000.

Fresh is a documentary style newborn session, held within the first two days after birth. Often called a Fresh 48 package, Fresh showcases newborn details, early snuggles and feeding, sibling meetings and new family moments in an authentic, natural way. Document these details before they change!

 

I realize that photos are an investment in your future. I would be pleased to speak with you about ways to make birth photography affordable for your family.

Photography "Gift Certificates" are a wonderful option for baby showers, especially if this is not your first baby, or you've already done a lot of preparing!
