Why You Need A Birth Photographer For Your C-Section

I know what it feels like.

You see all of these beautiful birth photos on Facebook, but you struggle to find anything that represents your birth experience.

C-sections are often under represented in birth photography for a variety of reasons - 

-Photographers can often be blocked from entering the operating room, especially if the c-section is unplanned or an emergency.

-You might think that a planned c-section means everything will be more organized and it will be easier to just have your husband take photos.

-Or maybe you don't even know that having a c-section birth photographed is an option because you've never seen it done!

Well, I'm here to tell you that having a photographer for your c-section is an option and you definitely want one!

First of all, if your husband is the only person with you in the OR and is in charge of the camera, who takes a picture of him seeing his baby for the first time? Or him kissing your forehead while you wait for that first cry?

Having a photographer present frees up your hubby to relax and be in the moment with you.

Also, I always tell moms that the day your baby is born will go by in a blur and you'll be surprised how many moments you miss. This is true for c-sections as well and maybe even moreso in some cases.

Most hospitals nowadays do skin to skin with mom in the OR, but there are still a lot of things you may miss behind the curtain - baby being weighed and measured, dad holding the baby, other family members seeing the baby, etc etc etc.

And finally, your birth story deserves to be told. Your baby's birth day will be one of the most memorable days of your life. No matter how it goes down, you'll revisit your memories of this day many times over the course of your life. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have photos to look back on too?
