You wouldn't dream of having your groom take your wedding photos so why would you have him taking the photos the day his baby is born??? You need him to hold YOU and his new baby, and be in the photos so you see him becoming a dad, and not behind a camera.
I'm Jennifer Crow and I have specialized in birth photography in the CSRA since 2011. With years of experience, I know what moments to watch for. You need someone to be your eyes for the things you will miss from your hospital bed -- your spouse snoozing while you rest, your parents pacing in the waiting room, and the tears from family when your husband delivers the big news!! I have documented hospital and home births, twins, triplets, and have been allowed in the OR to document the c-section of each of my clients who have needed one. And if your baby should have a stay in the NICU, I'll come back to document that part of your baby's story as well.
Your baby's birth will become one of the most important days of your life. Let me focus on your photos so you can focus on the most important gift of the day -- your baby.
