BIRTH STORIES
Starting aT $2690
As a photographer and videographer, I do my best to help each family create a beautiful, supportive and powerful birth experience. I currently am only attending a small number of planned home births per year in and around Airdrie, Alberta. As a former doula and experienced birth worker, I am also there to support you as a part of your birth team, and document your whole story as it unfolds.
I can't wait to tell your STORY
HOW IT WORKS
Each birth photography package includes a phone, zoom or in-person conversation where we discuss what your birth preferences are, when to call me and what my role is. A payment of $840 is due upon booking to hold your spot, as a limited number of births are taken each month to ensure I am not overbooked. I am officially on-call from 38 weeks for photography services, and work with amazing backups in the event that I am unable to make it, even before the official on-call time. I photograph your active labour, the birth and then I stay after your baby arrives for about 2 hours to document your first moments as a family.
You will receive a handful of announcement photos within 24 hours. The remainder of your images you will receive 4-8 weeks after the birth of your baby. This gives you a bit of time to process the birth from your perspective before you see it from mine.
WHAT IT COSTS
All birth story collections include my on-call time and allow me to be available to you in the weeks surrounding your expected due date. The minimum investment for birth photography is $2690.
Payment plans are available. All fees subject to applicable taxes. Clients willing to sign a full model release receive a 10% discount.

NOT SURE IF YOU WANT YOUR FULL BIRTH DOCUMENTED?
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
A FRESH BABY, GOLDEN HOUR OR RAW POSTPARTUM SESSION MIGHT BE THE PERFECT OPTION FOR YOU!
Lets tell the story of those raw moments after birth when you first meet your baby, coming home from the hospital, siblings meeting their brother or sister, that first day as a family or that sacred postpartum time of motherhood when your incredible body begins healing from birth, inside and out.
Your birth story, recorded on film forever. Watch what it feels like.
““Alyssa took birth and newborn photos for me, she was amazing! …She was at the hospital right when I got there and she stayed after to capture my daughters first moments. She was so wonderful in the delivery room, supporting and encouraging me and my husband all while taking tons of photos! The finished product for both the birth and newborn photos are gorgeous.
I would recommend her to anyone wishing to capture the amazing moments of giving birth! I can’t say enough good things, she’s professional and she will make sure the finished product is perfect.”

“Alyssa has this sweetness and confidence to her. She is passionate about the work she does and is a great advocate! I had her as my doula and birth photographer with my second baby and I am so very thankful that she was there with me. It was an amazing experience because I was able to focus on what I needed to do and she took care of everything else including taking care of my 3 year old and my husband!”
Birth photography is a powerful tool to be able to normalize birth and I absolutely love to be able to share photos to help raise awareness about how beautiful and powerful birthing women are, however, sharing images is NOT a requirement of working with me. Birth is very private, and I completely understand wanting to keep it that way. As little or as much as you would like to share, I will completely respect and support your decision!
““Whenever and however you intend to give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body and your spirit for the rest of your life.”
