FAQ

What to expect:
Before Hire: We can set up a 20 min consultation call or you can email me with any questions you may have. If you want to proceed then I will send you over the contract and my questionnaire form. A $450 deposit is required to secure your due date spot. The payment remainder is due at 37 weeks-the day I go on call for you.
Before Your Birth: Around 35 weeks we will meet to go over specific shots you want (if you’re planning a home birth we will meet at your house), your birth plan and any other details and questions you may have. We will go over all these important details, during this 30 minute meeting.
During Labor: You will contact me once you start labor and we will stay in touch as things progress. I will plan to come over once you are in active labor (~6cm) at your place of birth. During this time I will be present but silent. I strive to capture the moments as they unfold without being intrusive. I will come in and out of the room to allow you and your family some privacy throughout labor.
Postpartum: I will stay ~2 hours postpartum to capture those first moments with you and your baby. I will send you 3 sneak peek photos in the first 24 hours after birth.

*Should I call or text you when my labor starts?
Text me with updates when you are in early labor and call me when you are wanting me to head to you. I prefer you call me when you want me to come over since I may sleep through a text message if it’s in the middle of the night.

When will you arrive and how long will you stay?
I will arrive once you are in active labor (~6cm) and I will stay around ~2 hours after the birth

When will you be available for our birth?
I will go on call for you 24/7 at 37 weeks. If you go into labor before 37 weeks, I will do my very best to attend your birth or I will send my back up partner if I am unavailable.

When is payment due?
A $450 deposit is due the day of hire to secure your due date spot. The remainder of the fee can be made in payments, with the final payment due the day I go on call for you at 37 weeks.
