Birth
First glance. First cry. First touch. First kiss.
These moments pass you by in an instant, remember, cherish and capture every moment.
Your birth story is important
I am a birth photographer serving the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem), Poconos(Stroudsburg, Bangor, Wind Gap, Scranton, Wilkes barre, Quakertown, Reading, etc. ), and parts of New Jersey(Hackettstown, Morristown, Hackensack, etc.) If you are curious if i travel to your birth location contact me! I offer birth photography for home births, hospital births and birth center births.
About Birth Photography
I provide artistic documentation of your entire labor, birth and postpartum. (Yes even if labor starts at 2am or lasts 12+ hours)
Leading up to the birth
I like to meet all my clients in person before the delivery so I am not a stranger in your birth space. Leading up to delivery I will be available 24/7 and like to be updated on any signs of labor even if they are false alarms. I’ll be on call for you from 38 weeks till you deliver. If by some chance I am not able to make it I secure a backup that will be sent in my place.
During Labor & Delivery
I like to be like a “fly on the wall” to not disturb the labor process. I also know when support is needed. Need a drink, some support while your partner takes a break? I’ll be there. Need someone to hold a leg while you push? I got you & my camera ready!
Postpartum
I’ll be there to capture those first moments you meet your baby, that first latch, the newborn exam, you and your partners reaction. Every single detail.
Cost
Prices Starting at $1650+tax. I am able to accept payment plans to fit your family’s needs. It is best to contact me ASAP to set up payment plans as well as to secure your spot. I only take a couple births each month to ensure my availability.

“While I was in labor I messaged her and told her, but told her not to rush over. She did anyway! She is SO DEDICATED, she came and stayed for hours. She was incredibly patient with my older kids, who ADORE her. She was helpful to my midwife, who also had only great things to say about her bedside manner. She not only photographed my birth, but she helped improve the entire experience.”
“Not only was Payton amazing with taking pictures during my birth but she was also an amazing support person to have there. Throughout my labor/birth she was able to give me tips to get through! She was very encouraging and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be there photographing the birth of my first child. I will for sure have her photographing the births of future children of mine!”
“ I truly don’t have words to express how in love with my birth photos I am. Payton did above and beyond what any photographer could do. She captured every special moment, more than I could ask. She helped support a calm atmosphere for my labor to the point where I didn’t even notice her taking pictures. ”
“I am so forever grateful for the beautiful pictures Payton captured from my birth. I had dreamed of having our birth story captured and the pictures we got were exactly what I’d dreamt of and more! Her presence was so calming and professional, and I felt both comfortable and excited to have her in the room. We talked a bit leading up to the birth - she was so supportive and kept checking in on me to see how I was doing.”

“We were so blessed and fortunate to have gotten the honor to have Payton as our birth photographer, she was really great through it all and was phenomenal at capturing our beautiful amazing moments and the pictures we got from her in no time at all bring happy tears to my eyes. If you are looking for a photographer I highly recommend Payton! ”
