Birth Photographer Kansas City | Let us tell your birth story

Can I just say we are now adding Birth Photographer Kansas City to our resume? This was our very first birth photography session, and it definitely will not be our last. We have known this sweet couple for years and consider them some our dearest friends. Unfortunately, their scheduled birth photographer was unable to make it to this important day. Following this and hearing the devastating news, we couldn’t imagine not being there and documenting the birth of their baby girl.

There is no posing, no direction, no true plan to follow – only observing. In these moments, time slows. As a result, every breath, every tear and every touch becomes sacred. This type of genuine vulnerability brings out a raw beauty that I cannot attach words to. I can feel their love through their eyes, and the way they embrace one another. This is storytelling in its purest form.

Seeing your baby for the very first time is where time stops. Everything before that instant fades and everything after it is changed forever. You imagine their face a thousand times, but nothing prepares you for the reality. Their tiny features are intimately yours. There is a gratitude so deep and a kind of love that cracks your heart wide open. You never knew you could love like this.
