The Value of Birth Photography: Why It's Worth Every Penny | Augusta, GA Birth Photographer
Are you interested in birth photography, but you're worried about the cost?
I get it; birth photography can be expensive, and it's important to understand why.
Let's talk about it!
With my first baby, birth photography was included in the cost of the birth center and I am SO grateful! I had never even heard of birth photography and would have missed out on some of my most treasured images. Every baby after that, birth photography was a MUST! I absolutely LOVE being able to look back and remember more clearly the little (and big) details I would have forgotten without those pictures. They are incredibly powerful and worth every penny!
Birth photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.
As a birth photographer, I'm not just a skilled photographer, but I also have a deep understanding of childbirth and the birthing process. I know how to work with low light situations, respect your privacy and intimacy, and most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most.
Birth photography takes a lot of time.
Births can last a few hours or even up to a day or more. As your birth photographer, I'm on-call 24/7 leading up to your due date, and I'll often spend several hours editing and processing the photos after the birth to ensure that the final product meets my high standards and your expectations.
The cost of birth photography includes more than just the time spent at the birth and editing the photos.
It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. Additionally, as a birth photographer, I invest in ongoing training and education to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends.
How much is birth photography in Augusta, GA?
The cost of a birth photographer can vary depending on experience and the services and products offered. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000 for a birth photography package that includes digital files with a print release (which means the ability to print an unlimited number of images at the lab of your choice).
Birth is a life-changing experience that you'll never forget, but details will fade, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.
These photos are not just for you; they're a gift to your child. They'll show them how loved and welcomed they were from the very beginning, and these images will be cherished by you, your child, and your family for generations to come.
I want to make sure that everyone who wants to capture their birth story through photography has the opportunity to do so. That's why I offer payment plans to make the investment more manageable.
Birth photography may seem expensive, but it's an investment in preserving memories, celebrating life, and honoring the birthing process.
So, if you're considering birth photography, know that it's worth every penny and more!
Don’t just take my word for it ;) Here is what some of my clients had to say about their investment:
“Lisa, from This Little Lens Photography, is everything a girl could ask for in a birth photographer. She was as an extra cheerleader when she could tell I needed it. She was a fly on the wall when she could tell I needed it. And now I forever have the most stunning and precious pictures of my family- starring my son! I love Lisa forever because of what she brought to his birth and what I have to forever cherish from his birth. I can't praise her talent enough.”
“My experience with Lisa, from This Little Lens Photography was 10/10! It was so nice having her there to encourage me when I needed it and to also capture the amazing birth of my son. She went above and beyond and stayed with me for a while when my son was taken into the NICU. The photos she took are high quality and a memory that I can have with me forever.”
