(Even If You’re Not Sure Yet)


Birth is a wild, beautiful blur. One minute you’re timing contractions, the next there’s a baby blinking at you — and half the details vanish somewhere between the gas & air and that first sleepy cuddle.

Most mums say the same thing: “I thought I’d remember it all. I didn’t.”

That’s where a birth photographer comes in. Not to stage anything, or make you pose, but to quietly catch the moments you’ll want back later.

Why birth photography is worth it (some facts & figures)


  • Around 80% of mums say their birth memories fade fast (thank you, exhaustion).
  • Parents who hire a birth photographer are twice as likely to say they feel positive about their birth story later on.
  • Studies show photos help you bond, you relive the story, you share it with your child, you feel proud.



But… is it expensive?


Let’s be honest. Yes, it’s an investment. But so are so many things we barely question:


  • A designer pram? £1,000+ (and they outgrow it)
  • A fancy pushchair travel system? £800 (also outgrown)
  • Cute baby outfits for photos? £50+ (worn once)
  • Dinner out for two in London? £80 (gone in two hours)


Your birth photos? They’re forever. They get more valuable as your baby grows.

One mum told me, “I nearly skipped it because of the price , but now, I’d sell my pram before giving up these photos.”

What real families say


“I was shy about having someone there. Deborah was a calm shadow ... I didn’t even notice her, but now I have the moments my husband was too busy to catch.” — Anna, Beckenham.


“Our birth photos are my favourite thing. I’d choose them every time.” — Claire, Bromley mum.


“I look at my birth gallery on days I feel like I can’t do hard things. It reminds me: I can.” — Sophie, South London.



So… should you hire a birth photographer?


Only if you want to remember the big, small, and in-between moments exactly as they were. The sweaty brows, the tears, the first breath.

This isn’t about Instagram. It’s about your story... honestly told.

And if money feels tight? Talk to me. Payment plans are a thing. Regret is harder to fix than a budget.
