It’s time to book the only all-inclusive birth story that helps busy parents like you rest.
You want beautifully captured birth photographs…
But you don’t want to waste your time overwhelmed by a ton of digital files.
You don’t have time for that!
““Alex is AMAZING!!! She captured our Maternity, Birth and at Home pictures and when I looked at our pictures I cried like a baby! She captured our birth story in such an amazing way. She is so sweet. I highly recommend Alex as the BEST photographer EVER!!!”
”
Spend your parental leave doing what you really want – snuggling your baby.
Because you’re already doing all the things
You deserve to rest!
While other parents all those digital files, you'll be rockin’ this new super-parent gig (and your baby) with a done-for-you birth story that puts finished products in your hands.
So you can do something better with your time – like showering… or taking a nap.
Go with the nap!
What's Included with your Birth Story?
Here’s everything you get!
Exclusive Due Date
Your birth is the only one on my calendar to better serve you without the risk of having to call in a stranger to photograph your birth!
Handmade Album
A handmade leather album keeps your favorite birth photographs where they are safest – in your hands, close to your heart.
Framed Art
A professionally framed print of your favorite moment so you can show off your new little love like the proud mom you are!
Gift Prints
Two Matted Prints to send to send to the family that adores your baby so (or keep for yourself – I won’t tell!).
Video Slideshow x2
Slide show videos to watch the beauty of your story unfold. Plus a modesty edit of the slide show, so you can feel comfortable sharing with family (without the personal bits showing).
Digital Files
All the digital files from your gallery in both color and black & white so you can share and reprint as you like.
…and an Extra Bonus just because.
For no additional charge, I return to hospital or home to capture those first moments when your older babies get to meet their newest sibling. We’ll also get a few great first family photos with your newest addition.
Because that is an important part of the story.
And Family is what Birth & Life Photography is all about.
Sounds Wonderful!
How much does birth photography cost?
Well, you can leave it to your birth partner to snap a couple of shots on the iPhone, leaving them out of photos entirely, and risk missing the important moments of this once-in-a-lifetime moment…and maybe printing some if you remember to…
Or...
You can entrust this priceless moment to a professional birth photographer who specializes in this life event and the challenges it brings. And get your birth story beautifully preserved with all the things above - without taking snuggle time away from you and your baby.

I get it. Investing in birth photography… it’s hard.
With all the baby expenses, you’re on the fence about whether this investment is worth it.
Here’s the thing – soon the tiny adorable baby shoes and onsies will be gone. Before you know it, your little one will start kindergarten… leaving you to wonder where your tiny little baby went.
All you will be left with are memories. And memories are as fleeting as your baby’s first breath.
I want to help make it easier for you get the birth story you want.
Photographs are the only guaranteed way to keep every emotion, every memory fresh and lasting.
The Gift Registry helps offset the total cost of your birth story. Instead of 10 bottles of baby lotion, your baby shower guests can gift you your birth photography.
Add your registry funds to the payment plan and you can have your baby shower cake and eat it, too.
““Alex is so sweet, and the way she captured my son’s birth is absolutely gorgeous! Everything she did was personal and even returned to the hospital later to get the other children meeting their new baby brother!””
Can I ease a little of your anxiety?
Birth photography isn’t just about placentas & vaginas
Yeah, I went there
I won’t focus on those things at all (unless you want me to). Birth & Life Photography is about helping you feel the crazy wonderful emotions felt during your baby’s birth all over again.
It’s about capturing you at your most powerful; that enchanting caterpillar/butterfly moment when you turn into a mother and see your baby for the first time. And most importantly…
It’s about the greatest love story of your life – that one unconditional love that will never fade.
Did you know you could love someone this much?
““Alex is sooo stinking amazing!!! I love working with her at our births including, my sisters. She listens, is professional and 100% dependable. And her photos are so full of emotion. Couldn’t ask for a better birth photographer!! “”
Oh, but let me introduce myself!
Because you don’t want a complete stranger at your birth!
I’m Alex, a PR/Journalism Pro turned story-focused photographer. After 15+ years of photography and newspaper storytelling experience, birth and family photojournalism just fit like a good pair of pregnancy pants on Thanksgiving. Ten years later, birth continues to be my jam!
As a busy workin’ mom who saw it fly by too fast, I've been in your shoes. It’s my mission to help busy parents like you document the best moments – the real ones you love most - in a way that helps you breath just a bit easier and stress less.
Doesn’t that sound great?

You might be a Birth & Life Photography mom if...
✔ You are really excited about becoming parents
✔ You have been waiting for this your whole life, as much as your wedding day
✔ You don’t want to miss a moment – even if you’re focused on all the other things (like contractions).
✔ You want your partner 100% focused on supporting you – and they want to catch!
✔ You don’t want to do anything after your delivery but rest – and rock!
✔ You want to look back on this day and remember the greatest love you've ever known
One thing I have learned in this digital age is paper and printed photographs are the only thing that will last generations. Technology changes. QUICKLY. I will occasionally shoot small video clips during your birth as content for your birth video slide show; however, videography of your entire labor & delivery is not a service I provide. If you are interested in adding this service to your package, I am happy to connect you with some of my favorite videographers who would love to join me for your birth.
