Melissa Moody Birth Photography

Hiring a birth photographer frees up your support staff and ensures you get those important moments captured. Birth & labour are very unpredictable and therefore these are not typical portrait sessions. The lighting may be dim, and planning what’s going to happen can be difficult. I photograph your labour & birth as it unfolds, in a photo-journalistic style. I am sensitive to your needs as a labouring woman and understand my role is to document quietly and unobtrusively. I will respect your requests. Having been on both sides of the birth process, I also understand which special moments you may want and how to ensure that they are captured forever. I am serving Orillia, Lindsay, Peterborough, Haliburton and surrounding areas. I am also a mom to two adorable girls. One lives in heaven and would be 3 years old and my miracle rainbow baby girl that is almost 2 years old. I have been on both sides of spectrum when it comes to birth. The scary traumatic hospital birth alone side. And the most amazing home birth left feeling amazing for weeks side. Gotta love hormones . I do fresh 48, maternity, newborn sessions as well as birth. But my true passion is Birth photography. If you are interested in having the raw emotions captured during birth as well as baby's first moments please contact me for more information. The photos are tastefully done. You are in charge of how much I capture and how little. Crowning shots or no crowning shots. The delivery is only a few photos. It's the other 200 plus photos that will tell your baby's birth story. Those precious moments soon after delivery are breath taking. I belong to The International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) http://birthphotographers.com You can see more birth pictures there. I also volunteer my services for newly bereaved parents. I know how important it is to have something to remember your Angel by. This service is free of charge. As a bereaved mother myself I vowed when I became a photographer I would help other bereaved families. We stick together. Thank you Melissa Moody
