I've had photographers contact me in a panicky state, saying, "I told this couple I would photograph their birth, and I just don't think I can handle the burden of being on call! Can I refer them to you?" I imagine it would be incredibly disheartening to dedicate and invest yourself wholly in building your birth photography business, only to find that it's not really your cup of tea. It's something you'll want to consider very seriously.

I needed to determine not only how feasible it would be for my life, but also whether I could be truly fulfilled in it.ĭeciding that you want to be a professional birth photographer is not a whim decision. I was aware that life as a birth photographer wouldn't be easy, and it was important that I envision my life on an hour-by-hour and day-by-day nitty gritty basis. When I was considering becoming a birth photographer in Denver, Colorado, the superficial appeal was quite obvious. The birth event is so raw and emotionally charged, and my personality and lifestyle seemed to fit perfectly. If that's not the case, props to you for your ambition! There is a world of resources at your fingertips! How do I get into birth photography? I won't go into considerations on the general business level, because I'm assuming that if you're reading this, you're already an experienced photographer with an established business. I've learned some things in my experience that I hope may help you. However, I will dedicate this post to a couple words of advice, which you or may not find any value in. I never want to come across as a know-it-all, because my knowledge database is vast and sparse. This is one of very few posts I'll ever address to other photographers. I've noticed lately that many photographers dedicate less of their time to creativity and more of their time to preaching to other photographers (not to be mistaken with guiding them), and even more time trying to tell, rather than show, their potential clients that they are the real deal. I hope you're not terribly offended by my impersonal approach. "How do I get into birth photography?" Unfortunately, I can no longer dedicate the time I'd like to answering each inquiry from fellow photographers, because folks, babies are being born! Instead, I'm writing this post. Often I am approached by other photographers via phone and my Facebook page, all asking the same questions.
