When you invite me to capture your birthing experience, you can rest assured that your hospital does, too. At Ascension Seton Hospitals, I’m more than a guest. Unlike any other photographer, I’m pink-badged and credentialed to document labor, delivery, and postpartum at all Seton facilities.
Seton trusts me to provide calm, quiet photo-journalistic coverage of all the emotion and excitement you experience in the moment you experience it — and so can you. I’m honored to be a go-to for so many birthing mothers. If you have more questions about Labor & Birth sessions, just get in touch.
Trust us to keep things simple and easy.
The photos you get from your session are real, raw, rare reflections of your unique birthing experience. We love capturing images that have the power to transport you back to transformational moments that made you a mother.
Hello & Co. photos are watermark free. We never put our logo on your experience! There’s no need to sell you extra images or files after the fact. You get all the photos you expect, just the way you need them, so you can share or print as you wish.
faqs
01. Where do you conduct Labor & Birth photo sessions?
As the official and exclusive provider of Mother & Newborn photography for Ascension Seton Hospitals in Austin, we offer in-hospital sessions at Seton facilities. We also offer Labor & Birth sessions for in-home births, and at select birthing centers. Ask us for details.
02. What if baby comes early … or in the middle of the night … or labor is loooong?
Birth is beautifully unpredictable. We stay on-call and flexible to accommodate your wishes and needs. No matter the hour, simply call me when you think you are in labor, then again once you are admitted to the hospital. Keeping tabs on your progress, I typically arrive at the hospital at 7cm for first-time moms. After delivery, I stay for about 30 minutes to capture baby’s first moments with you. Then, I slip away quietly so your new family can rest and bond.
03. What if it turns out I need a C-section?
Whether you have a Scheduled C-section, or find yourself needing one during labor, I stay with you through it all. I am Seton-badged, credentialed, and trained on operating room procedures. Familiar with the where’s and when’s of C-section births, I know how to capture great moments while staying discreetly out of the way. Depending on your doctor, I strive to capture the context of the room as well as shoot from the head, over the drape, and from the foot, to document your real birthing experience.
