Baby G’s Birth Story | Riverton Hospital Utah Photographer

I love labor & delivery. Is there really anything more beautiful than a precious baby straight from Heaven? Being a Utah Birth Photographer is honestly one of my greatest blessings. I have delivered 3 of my own beautiful babies. One through an emergency cesarean (stubborn girl was breech), one through a successful V-Back where I pushed for 40 minutes, and my last as another successful V-Back where I pushed for 3 minutes and he was out. Because of my own birth experiences I feel like I’m able to offer something that maybe all birth photographers aren’t able to offer. I understand what it feels like to go from thinking it’s time to push, to being told it’s time to get ready for a C-Section. I know how quickly babies can come, and how they can slow down and change their minds about coming into this world. I am on call for you as your Utah birth photographer. I will come as soon as you’re dilated to a 6 and I will stay for an hour after the birth to capture all those special hospital moments. Baby G was pretty eager. My client contacted me when she was on her way to a 6. I pulled into the parking lot when she was a 6 and was taking some pictures outside when she text and said you better get up here. She pushed once. ONE TIME!!! I haven’t seen anything like it. After 3 daughters this son was quite anticipated. And isn’t he just the sweetest?

While I no longer photograph births, documenting a baby’s very first days has always been incredibly meaningful to me. Today my work focuses on newborn photography in my Bluffdale studio, where I continue preserving these early memories for families throughout the Salt Lake Valley.

Welcoming Baby After Birth

Those first hours after birth are full of emotions – relief, joy, exhaustion, and overwhelming love. Many of the families I photograph for newborn sessions share similar feelings when they come to the studio with their new baby. Being able to slow down and capture those tiny details during the newborn stage is such a gift.
