New Jersey Birth Photographer
Specializing in Free Births and Home Births.
It would be my honor to witness your power, photograph your birth experience, and stay out of the way while YOU bring a new life into this world.
I believe birth is a ceremony; a sacred space. My calling is to protect birth, empower women to trust themselves, as well as capture birth’s raw unexplainable magic. Birth is perhaps the most profound moments in human existence, so let’s elevate birth together.
The power is already inside you.
And in any moments of doubt, you will be witnessed, and held.
and you WILL…
Bring Your Baby HOME!!!
A quick note:
I am no longer offering my services in the hospital setting.
“Seeing myself in these pictures is so empowering and I am so grateful I have them. Sarah was calm and collected the entire time, going with the flow and offering support when I needed it. I truly enjoyed her presence and knowing that she was part of my birth team brought me comfort in both the days before labor and during birth.
My husband was impressed at how unobtrusive she was in the whole process. She stayed out of the way of my midwives and was still able to capture great candid shots of everyone.
I will cherish these amazing photos of my birth and I cannot recommend her enough!”
The birth photography package will capture three parts of your birth story. 1 Active Labor, 2 Delivery, and 3 magic hour. Scroll through photos of Hannah’s beautiful home birth, to see examples of the three stages of labor and deliver that we can capture.
Birth Photography | Part One
Active Labor
The love and support, the deep deep breaths that get your through each wave, as you get closer and closer to meeting your baby.
If it is your first baby, it can be hard to know how soon the baby will come. As contractions get closer and closer, you will notice a change. When things start to really heat up, have your support person give me a call, and I will be on my way.
Birth Photography | Part 2
Delivery
Birth is an intimate space, I will photograph everything from crowning to cord clamping, based on your comfort level. Together we will talk about what positions you might deliver in, and how I can adjust my angles to provide you with exactly what you desire.
Birth Photography | Part Three
Newborn Magic Hour
With the most intense shift of sensations and emotions, stage three of my birth photography packages is when you get to hold and cuddle your perfect little newborn baby. It is magical beyond words. We will capture skin to skin, the hugs and kisses to your partner, nursing, and maybe some family time if it is a home birth.
Support Beyond Birth Photography | Birth Keeper
Not only will you have me as a photographer, but as someone in the room who believes in you whole heartedly, has your back, and will hold space for you and YOUR birth vision.
I am happy to assist you in as many ways as possible while documenting your birth. If you don’t feel heard, I will advocate for you. If you need privacy and space, I will leave the room and give you as much time as you need.
Becoming a mother is a full-immersion mind and body experience. This requires a safe space, and to feel as though you are unobserved. I will do my best to blend into the background, and make you feel as though I am not even there.
We will also talk in detail leading up to your birth, so that we are both sure we are totally alined.
“Wow...WOW..this was the greatest present we could have opened together!! It’s impossible not to cry. You so beautifully captured the journey of our baby girl’s birth and our love for one another. We were both in tears. I can’t believe that about a year ago we met you at our wedding, and now you’ve shared one of the most special, intimate experiences with our family. These photos are beautiful Sarah. You are so talented and bring a calm, loving energy to your work. We will treasure these pics forever.”
