When
should I call if I want delivery photographs?
Five to six months is ideal, but I've had clients call
from their hospital rooms when they've gone into labor
earlier than expected. I do limit my number of clients
per month so that might be another reason to call early
on. I usually schedule a meeting with potential "childbirth" clients in order to meet each other, go over my list of advice for great communication and talk about capturing your life-changing event in photographs. I require a deposit to "hold your reservation" in the month you are due.
What
if I go into labor in the middle of the night?
I'm always "on call" for my clients.
Once
I'm at the hospital, when should I call?
Call me when you get there, call every time they check
you, call if your water breaks, call whenever you have
an update. Communication is your responsibility
and is the key in making sure I'm there when the time
is right.
How many hours do you stay?
I don't have a set number of hours because every birth
is different. My typical agenda is delivery, weighing
and measuring, first bath, taking footprints, meeting
parents and siblings.
Do
I get all the photos?
Yes. Your photo package includes all black and white 4 x 6 photos. The average session has approximately 100-150 photographs. Depending
on how smooth and quickly the day (or night) goes.
Any additional copies or
enlargements are an extra charge. All photos seen
on display have a signed release by the parents. All
photographs are copyrighted and may not be reproduced
in any way.
