What is it?

Since I started offering birth photography, I have always offered my friends a large discount on my services with the stipulation that if I ended up not making it to the birth, I would give them a Fresh 48 session instead. I never thought to offer it to anyone besides friends, but the time has come where it is now a service I offer to everyone. 

Why?

Simply because I understand birth photography isn't an affordable luxury for everyone, but it is something I think everyone deserves the opportunity to have. 

The difference between off-call and a normal birth photography package?

The biggest difference is that I might miss your birth. For a normal birth photography package, I am on-call. I keep my phone on 24/7 and the volume all the way up on the ringer, I don't go out of town while I am on call, I block my schedule to make sure I am not too busy. The likelihood of me missing a birth is very slim. With off-call births, I will keep my phone on and the ringer up, but I will not, for example, leave my daughter's birthday party, avoid swimming pools, or clear my whole schedule. I will do everything I can still to avoid missing the birth, but if I do, the payment for the off-call package will turn into a Fresh 48 down-payment and I will go to the hospital at my earliest convenience to capture your baby during their first day or two. You can read a little more about it on this blog.

The session fee for an Off-Call birth is $850. There is a $250 deposit that is due at the time of booking that is included in the full price. If I am able to attend the birth, the $850 covers the session fee and 25 digital images of your choice with the option to purchase more in digital or printed format. If I am unable to attend, the deposit turns into payment for a Fresh 48 session fee + a $200 print credit.
