After years of trying to start a family and giving up in 2020, I was finally blessed with a baby boy this year. Like most women, I wanted to do a maternity shoot during my pregnancy as that's all I knew of until I found Lisa's website.
I saw her birthing photography/videography service and I was just so impressed and inspired. The clips that she had on her site gave me the feels. I reached out to her with some questions and she was a wonderful person to connect with.
A few months later, I decided to go all in and invest in service. I wasn't sure what to expect but let's just say everything she has done has been way more than expected!
During labor, I ended up in an emergency c-section because every time I had a contraction, my baby's heart rate couldn't be found or it dipped too low. Because of this, Lisa couldn't come into the OR even if I advocated for her to be there but she gave my bf her camera so that he can take pictures of what he could and he also captured audio of our baby boy crying when he finally entered the world!
Since she wasn't able to get the whole birthing experience, she went an extra step and threw in Fresh 48 which ended up being taken about a month later as our son was in NICU. I was able to gather both my family and his family for an amazing photoshoot that probably would've never happened if she didn't offer this to us.
The video she created with her shots and the stills was so amazing that it made me cry when I watched it and i watched it a lot! I will forever cherish this and am excited for others to see it especially my son when he is older.
With the package, I also received a beautifully packaged printed photo album (card board thick and not photo paper) and a USB with all the media files.
All in all, I am so happy that I went with Lisa. She is truly a talented and amazing person to work with. I think what sets her apart even more as a birthing photographer/videographer is that she was a labor nurse for 19 years so she KNOWS whats going on! I also appreciate her in that I was able to ask her some questions regarding my pregnancy in general because I didn't really have anyone to talk to as well as her telling me what's going on right before I was wheeled into the OR. I didn't even know I was going to have a c-section so I am thankful for her lol!!
If you had to choose between a maternity shoot or the birthing photography/videography if you have a tight budget like me, I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest investing in the birthing photography/videography service. If you want to do maternity as well, she also has a package where it's discounted if you had multiple services you wanted. Definitely check her out. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more
