A: The short answer is yes. We will discuss this more when we meet.
Q: HOW WILL YOU BEING IN THE ROOM AFFECT MY LABOR AND MOOD?
A: My goal is to be as “unnoticeable” as possible. I take all photos with a photo journalistic approach so there is no posing, no lights ect. If at any time things become to hectic and you want me to leave all you have to do is say so. I will give you plenty of time to yourself while still capturing those passing moments.

Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING BIRTHS?
A: 4 years. I loved it then, and I love it now!
