Birth photography services include labor, birth & immediate postpartum.
You will receive all the photos taken in a digital file within two weeks after your birth.

Placenta Encapsulation
$250
Placenta Encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after the birth of your baby by dehydrating, powdering and placing it into capsules for you to consume. There are two methods you can choose from: raw or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Consuming the capsules have shown to help balance your hormones after childbirth. When the capsules are properly stored, they can be used for weeks. When you have recovered from childbirth, you can even freeze the leftover capsules and save them for menopause. With this service, you can also add on a placenta tincture, umbilical cord dreamcatcher and/or placenta print keepsake.
