In Los Angeles alone, dozens of professional photographers now make their living in the delivery room and in the OR, documenting the first moments of motherhood for clients who pay thousands of dollars for wedding-style albums of their labor.
“When we were discussing doing maternity photos, I was initially really against it,” Hall said. “I think it’s really cheesy, a woman standing in a field with a flowing dress and a crown of flowers. I wanted something grittier than that.”Terra Hall weeps with relief, cradling her son Lenox after waiting nearly 15 minutes to hear his first cry. In lieu of traditional maternity shoots, many parents are now hiring birth photographers to capture images like these in the delivery room.
Nor is the service exclusive to so-called natural birth. Some hire professionals to shoot their scheduled C-sections. Others, like Hall, write their photographer into a birth plan that includes “all of the drugs.” “We’re just as important as a wedding photographer — the only difference between a wedding and a birth is we have a medical team,” she said.
“Now, having a planned birth in a stable marriage is much more common among high socioeconomic status” than in poor families, Hartnett said. “What’s being projected in wedding photography and birth photography is an achievement that is not accessible to everyone.”
