F.A.Q.
When and how to sign up for birth shoot?
Feel free to contact me on any messenger that’s convenient for you (through the website, Instagram direct, WhatsApp, or Telegram).
Please share your due date and the hospital where you plan to give birth (make sure to ask your doctor for permission for the shoot and confirm whether the hospital allows more than one person in the delivery room).
To secure your session, a 50% deposit is required. The earlier you book, the more likely I will have availability in my schedule.

In which cities do you work?
I’m currently based in Philadelphia, PA, but I’m happy to travel to any hospital within an hour's drive in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
How to prepare for the birth shoot?
Please inform your doctor that you will have your own photographer present during the birth.
Additionally, share your contact details with me. If a private midwife will be present, please provide her contact information as well.
To make you feel more at ease, we can arrange an in-person meeting before the birth. This will give us the opportunity to get to know each other, establish clear communication, and discuss your expectations for the photoshoot. It’s especially important during childbirth to have someone nearby whom you can trust and feel comfortable with.

How will the shoot take place?
I will accompany you to the hospital (or to the home part of your birth, and then we’ll head to the hospital together). I will capture all stages of labor, plus the first hour after your baby is born.
How long to wait for the photos?
The full processing time takes between 4 to 8 weeks, but you will usually receive the first edited photos just a couple of days after the shoot.
What is FRESH 48?
This is a special type of photoshoot in the hospital, capturing the first hours of the baby's life, typically the day after birth.
The shoot lasts 30-40 minutes. No special preparation is required, but it’s recommended to wash your hair; makeup is not necessary.
