birth photographer
Labor room shutterbug
A birth photographer specializes in documenting labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period.
The work requires being on call as due dates approach and capturing intimate moments in often challenging hospital or home settings: Our birth photographer caught the exact moment she was placed on my chest.
The field has grown alongside the broader trend of professionally documenting life milestones.
