Bringing new life into this world is an extraordinary journey that changes everyone. It doesn't matter if it's your first or sixth child; the birth of a baby is a life-altering experience. As your birth photographer, I capture the sacredness of your birth space, the moments of love and connection, and the beauty of bringing new life into this world. I'm here to help you remember all the precious moments you might have missed while focusing on bringing your precious baby into this world.

Capturing Raw, Wild, and Magical Birth Stories in Fort Worth & DFW

When it comes to birth photography, it's important to find someone who really understands the ins and outs of this unique and special type of photography. Unfortunately, I've heard so many stories of people who were let down by their photographer when it really mattered most. That's why you need someone who is not only dedicated to capturing your story in the most beautiful way possible, but who is also invested in you as a person. And let's be honest, it's not always easy to be available 24/7, but I'm happy to do whatever it takes to make sure I'm there to document your birth story.

On-Call Coverage & Delivery

I deeply value the gift of life and have a special ability to find beauty even in difficult situations. As your birth photographer, I will carry this perspective with me, supporting you with compassion and understanding throughout your journey, no matter how it unfolds. I believe that my work is not just a job but a calling. It's an opportunity to create something truly special that will be cherished for a lifetime. Every birth is a unique and beautiful story, and I feel privileged to be a part of it. It's my honor to capture those precious moments and preserve them for you to relive and share with your loved ones.

  • How soon should I book you?

    I only take a certain amount of births each month, so my calendar fills up fast. To make sure you secure your spot, it's best to book as soon as you're ready. Plus, if you need a payment plan, booking earlier will give you more time to pay. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

  • Do you offer payment plans?

    Of course! I totally understand that birth photography can be a big expense. But I want to help make it achievable for you. That's why I offer simple payment plans - all you have to do is pay off your balance by 38 weeks to make it stress-free.

  • What if you miss the birth?

    Missed births are really rare. babies can be unpredictable and sometimes they arrive faster than we expect, which may lead me to miss some of the birth moments. This is also why hiring a birth photographer that has amazing back ups! I have a couple of birth photographers on standby in case of an emergency. However, if I happen to miss of the moments due to your speedy delivery, I will still come and document everything that I can. Most of the time, I arrive just moment after the baby is born and capture those precious moments such as first bath, newborn exam, and family meeting the baby. My main goal is to document your story however it unfolds and sometimes your birth story reflects a precipitous birth.

  • What if I have a C-section?

    Due to COVID-19, hospital policies have changed. If I am not permitted to join you, I will stay until after the c-section and you are in recovery. Sometimes, I'll send your spouse back with a camera to take some quick shots and get as much as they can for me to use. Before leaving your birth, we will discuss options for capturing images of your baby, if hospital policy allows it.

  • Can I choose my own music for the film?

    Unfortunately, due to licensing requirements, clients are unable to choose their own music. I encourage you to check out some of my previous birth videos to get a sense of my style and musical choices.

  • Will you post my images and film online?

    I always ask for my clients' consent before sharing any images. As much as I would love to share your beautiful birth story, I understand that your privacy is extremely important.

    However, I do believe that we have lost something in our modern culture when it comes to discussing birth. We don't talk about it the way we should. By sharing empowering birth images and films we can show stories of strength, bravery, and beauty, inspiring other women and reminding mothers of their own capabilities. I truly believe that this can make a difference.

  • When will my photos be ready?

    Being a mother to 4 wildlings at home, the full gallery takes a bit longer. I hand-edit each individual image, I try my best to deliver your gallery within 6 weeks. Birth films can be up to 12 weeks.

THE BIRTH OF KOA

Client Experiences

“Amazing! Our little rainbow baby came 2 weeks before Lo was supposed to be on call for our birth photos. We hadn't even finished paying our invoice but Lo answered my phone call late that evening and was there at the hospital just in time to capture everything without hesitation. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a birth photographer! Our pictures are stunning, can't wait to see how the birth video turns out.”

— CIRAH+MATT

“She’s the absolute best. Lo did our maternity shoot and my birth photos. When I had an emergency C-section she was able to take the most captivating picture that still brings me to tears. I was under anesthesia when my son was born and I don’t remember anything. If it weren’t for the photos she took I would not have those wonderful memories to look back on.”

— SALLIE+CHARLES

“Lo is a dream to work with! Her pictures are stunning! She captured beautiful pictures and memories for my maternity pictures, the birth of our little girl, and family newborn session. The pictures are more than I could have hoped for. She was great at helping us style our look, and engaging my older kids in the pictures. Even though my toddler had other plans! Highly recommend LC Birth Stories for your picture needs!”

Your birth story matters. Every contraction, every breath, every sacred moment is worth remembering. I’d love to hear your vision for this birth and how you want your story to be told. I only take on a limited number of births each year so I can give each family the attention and care they deserve so securing your due date early is important. Let’s connect and start planning how to capture your wild, magical story.
