the beginning of a wild, new journey

"When we give birth to our baby, we also give birth to an incredible strength and love that only comes with motherhood"

Meet your baton rouge birth photographer

Think about this-what are some of  the most important days of your life that you document? High school graduation, college graduation, your wedding day and...?
THE BIRTH OF YOUR BABY!

Birth photography is raw, emotional, and sacred.
This will be the day that you want to look back on for years to come. Lets face it, your partner will not be  that reliable to capture cell phone pics, they're trying to enjoy this moment, too! This is where I come in.
I will be there to capture every last detail that you may not think twice about. I can hold your hand, I can share encouraging words, I can feed you ice chips,  or I can be a completely silent fly on the wall. Your birth space is safe with me.
Being a mother of two, I know how important this moment is. I do not have a single photo of my first born entering the world. I made SURE with my second to not make that mistake again. If you are a first time mom, do not be like me! Hire a professional, invest in this day, and thank yourself later!

Hi! I am Sydnie and I want nothing more than to document the story of your babies entering the world!
Inviting me into your personal birth space may seem scary. You don't know me (yet) so maybe you are shy (heads up first time mama-LOTS of birth workers will be in your room while you are exposed!). Maybe you are hesitant on the investment or maybe you have no idea what to expect. Whatever is holding you back, I have a solution for.

 Lets break the ice here
How can you be vulnerable with me if I am not vulnerable with you first? If you keep scrolling, I will show you the unfiltered side of ME. 
 My successful attempt at a vaginal birth after a c-section was the most magical moment for me. Having it captured is something I will ALWAYS be grateful for. I was in my own world and forgot my own photographer was in the room half the time! Check them out...

I will support you no matter how you deliver your baby.
C-Sections, VBACs, induced hospital birth, home birth, birth center, you name it, I am there!
