Delray Beach Boca Raton - Hire an On-Call Birth Photographer for your Baby's Birth

As a couple, there are few moments in life that are more special and unforgettable than the birth of your child. It is a time of immense joy and emotion, and it is a moment that you will want to remember and cherish for the rest of your life. This is where an On-Call Birth Photographer can come in handy.

An On-Call Birth Photographer is a professional photographer who is available to photograph the birth of your child at any time, day or night. They are specially trained to capture the beauty and emotion of this special moment, and they are able to do so in a way that is respectful, discreet, and unobtrusive.

One of the main benefits of hiring an On-Call Birth Photographer is that they can capture all of the precious and fleeting moments of your child's birth that you might otherwise miss. The birth of a child is a fast-moving and intense experience, and it can be easy to get caught up in the excitement and emotion of the moment. An on-call birth photographer can help you to remember all of the special details of your child's birth, from the first cry to the first time you hold your baby in your arms.

But it's not just about capturing the big, memorable moments. An On-Call Birth Photographer can also capture the small, intimate moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. These are the moments that you will treasure for a lifetime – the look of love on your partner's face as they hold your newborn, the tenderness and care with which your healthcare providers attend to you and your baby, the expressions of joy and wonder on the faces of your loved ones as they meet your new arrival. These are the moments that truly tell the story of your child's birth, and an On-Call Birth Photographer is uniquely qualified to capture them.

Another reason to hire an On-Call Birth Photographer is that they can help to capture the beauty and emotion of the birth in a way that is truly unique and special. Birth photography is an art form, and a skilled birth photographer knows how to use lighting, composition, and other techniques to create beautiful, timeless images that you will treasure for a lifetime.

But it's not just about the technical aspects of photography. A good On-Call Birth Photographer has a deep understanding of the emotional landscape of childbirth, and knows how to capture the moments that truly speak to the experience of giving birth. They understand the incredible strength and determination that it takes to bring a child into the world, and they know how to capture the beauty and emotion of that journey in a way that is truly meaningful and powerful.

In addition to capturing the beauty and emotion of the birth, an On-Call Birth Photographer can also help you to document the story of your child's birth. They can capture the details of your labor and delivery, as well as the moments of joy and celebration that follow. This can be especially helpful if you are planning to create a birth announcement or a baby book, as it will give you a wealth of beautiful and meaningful images to choose from.

But it's not just about creating a physical record of your child's birth. An On-Call Birth Photographer can also help you to capture the intangible elements of the experience – the love, the joy, the connection between you and your partner and your new child. These are the things that truly make the birth of a child an unforgettable and meaningful experience, and an On-Call Birth Photographer can help you to hold onto them for years to come.

Of course, hiring an On-Call Birth Photographer does require some planning and preparation. It's important to do your research and find a photographer who is experienced and skilled in birth photography, and who has a style and approach that aligns with your own values.

The Newborn Consult with @blissfulbabyservices - once baby is home, @blissfulbabyservices can answer any and all questions regarding postpartum care while discussing the safest practices.

The Sleep Shaping Consult is a favorite of both @blissfulbabyservices clients and my Birth Photography clients. (I wish I knew her 10 years ago when I had a baby that woke every 30 minutes for 18 months!!! I am not exaggerating, I was very sleep deprived and struggling)

@blissfulbabyservices typically starts Sleep Shaping Consults around 4-6 weeks and goes over creating and establishing healthy safe sleeping habits. This creates a superior foundation for parents that want to gently guide their baby to sleeping longer stretches through the night. She also discusses napping along with anything and everything regarding feeding, age appropriate activity and sleep!

During my 12 Days of Deals, when you book your On-Call Birth Photography with me, @blissfulbabyservices is generously gifting one of each of the above consults so you can continue to take care of yourself & be your best to take care of your sweet baby-to-be! *(Cannot be combined with other offers)

DAY FOUR OF 12 DAYS OF DEALS

HYPNOBIRTHING

THE ORCHID NEST, DELRAY BEACH, SOUTH FLORIDA

DAY FOUR OF 12 DAYS OF DEALS is so special to my heart! When I was pregnant with my second baby, I took this class at the Orchid's Nest and it made all the difference in my pregnancy.

Hypnobirthing soothed a lot of my anxieties during pregnancy, inspired me to slow down my breathing and be present in the moment and enjoy my pregnancy when I was rushing so much with life with my toddler while pregnant with my second.

My second labor was difficult and complicated for me and while I did not utilize Hypnobirthing to have an unmedicated birth, Hypnobirthing gave me the gift of enjoying my entire labor until my baby was born. This was so different from my first birth. I loved my Hypnobirthing experience and on Day Four of 12 Days of Deals, I want to gift it to you!

When you book your On-Call Birth Photography with me today, on DAY FOUR of 12 DAYS OF DEALS, you receive a full Hypnobirthing course in a group setting or a credit towards a private Hypnobirthing course if that fits your schedule better with @theorchidnest on me.

12 DAYS OF DEALS - BOCA RATON BIRTH MATERNITY & NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

12 DAYS OF DEALS ARE HERE!

ON THE 1ST DAY OF DEALS is one of my personal favorites!

Since the pandemy started, not every hospital permits children under the age of 18 to come into Labor and Delivery nor Postpartum to meet their baby sibling. (Or even grandparents, aunts/uncles, with the limitation of visitors).

This is the perfect session. When you book your On-Call Birth Photography with me on DAY ONE of 12 DAYS OF DEALS, you receive a complimentary, full hour Family Newborn In-Home Session (Good for up to 12 weeks from the day of baby's birth). You can also upgrade this complimentary session to an On-Call Coming Home Session, which means I'll follow you from the hospital and capture your older child's (or grandparents) first reactions to meeting the baby for the very first time.

First Time Mom & Dad - Boca Raton Regional Hospital / Dr. Daif Parker

First Time Parents

My most recent births at Baptist Health Boca Regional have been with new-to-me providers who have had an amazing reputation in the South Florida Birth community for decades, but it wasn't until 2022 that I had the honor to witness and capture them supporting my Birth Photography clients and their babies.

Besides the wonderful Dr. Ty Swartzlander, of Boca Babes, (keep an eye out on another upcoming blog post with birth photos from that birth!)

I also had the privilege to capture Dr. Jennifer Daif Parker (Board Certified Obstetrician) delivering one of my favorite birth client's first baby, a baby girl named London!

I couldn't wait to share a handful of images from their awesome first birth experience!

Welcome to the world little London!

Congratulations to the brand new parents!

Get to Know Your South Florida Birth Photographer, Paulina

Meet your South Florida Birth Photographer, Paulina Splechta

Paulina Splechta is a full time On-Call Birth Photographer working in the tri-county area of south Florida. She works with a maximum of two birth clients each month.


What does Full-Time On-Call Birth Photographer mean?

Being a Full-time On-Call Birth Photographer means that Paulina does not accept any other types of photography clients such as weddings, events, family photography sessions, etc. This frees up her entire schedule to have her full focus on her birth clients. It gives the space to get to know each other really well and have a more connected experience. Photographers are artists. The more connected an artist is to their art, the better and more profound their art will be. She cannot imagine being on the ‘shoot and burn’ schedule (photographing many clients and having a full editing schedule) and then attending a birth. It is not a sustainable career and you will burn out quickly. And it is also the reason why Paulina has been able to do this work she loves so much for almost 8 years by creating a life around what inspires her most.

How long has Paulina been an On-Call Birth Photographer for and how many births has she captured?

Paulina dove into birth photography nearly 8 years ago, after experiencing passion in her work while capturing mothers interacting with their babies and young children in lifestyle maternity, breastfeeding and newborn photography. Since then, she has photographed nearly 200 babies being born


What was the first birth Paulina ever photographed? And how did she know that is what she wanted to do?

The moment Paulina attended her very first birth in 2014, at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, (it was a Midwife attended birth with a second time mama), she fell completely in love with the documentary and "fly on the wall" aspect of birth photography. The day she attended this birth she realized this is all she wants to do, full time, no other types of photography. It was literally love at first sight.



How did Paulina’s career as an On-Call Birth Photographer evolve over the years?

With time, Paulina also developed a passion for being an advocate for maternal mental health after experiencing her own two traumatic births and learning how common emotional birth trauma is in her area.



What else does Paulina love to do?

Paulina is a writer at heart and has been writing since she was very young. (She was on yearbook staff in middle and high school, wrote for her University Newspaper at Florida Atlantic University FAU - University Press but it all started with poems, songs and short stories all year round and every summer growing up. She had journals and journals of her content since as young as she can remember. These days, if you follow her on Instagram (her favorite social media platform), you'll come across passionately written posts about positive experiences she's had working alongside of doulas, midwives and other birth workers, maternal mental health pieces, fun reels about on-call life and being a birth photographer, as well as recommendations on how to pick your birth team and prepare for a positive birthing experience.



What does Paulina love to do in her free time?

In her free time she is a Netflix fan, she does - in fact - enjoy long walks and deep conversations about life and feelings. She is an INFJ and and proud to be a sensitive person, navigating this world through sensory processing challenges, two artistic children and her husband is her soulmate.

Celebrating the Beauty of Birth: My Entry in the 2022 International Birth Photography Image Competition

Excitement is building as I prepare my entries for the prestigious 12th Annual Birth Photography Image Competition! This event is more than just an awards ceremony; it's a celebration of the birth community and a showcase of the incredible talent within the birth photography industry.

Reflecting on Past Success: An Honorable Mention in 2020

I'm proud to have been recognized in the IAPBP's 2020 Image Competition for my black and white postpartum photograph capturing a tender moment between a mother, her newborn daughter, and her awestruck son. It was a heartwarming start to the year, with both my American and Polish communities sharing in the joy.

2024 Competition: Showcasing the Power of Birth Photography

This year, I'm eager to share new images that reflect the beauty, strength, and emotion of childbirth. My goal is to create photographs that resonate with families, reminding them of the transformative power of bringing new life into the world.

Luxury Birth Photography in South Florida: Capturing Timeless Moments

As a sought-after birth photographer in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, I specialize in creating heirloom-quality images that tell the unique story of your birth experience. Whether it's a hospital birth, a home birth, or a VBAC, I'm dedicated to providing a personalized and empowering experience.

Serving Expectant Families: Book Your 2024 Birth Session Today

If you're expecting in 2024 and seeking a birth photographer who understands the significance of documenting these precious moments, I'd be honored to capture your story.

Just give this image a good 3 or 4 wheel scrolls on the main birthphotographers.com website to see it’s honorable mention among my fellow peers.

Then, the world changed. March 13, 2020, marked a turning point, filled with uncertainty and fear. As I withdrew my children from school, I couldn't have imagined the challenges that lay ahead.

Reflecting on the past few years, this competition holds even greater significance. It's a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the ability to find joy even amidst adversity. Amidst the chaos, birth photography has remained a constant source of light, reminding me of the beauty and hope that new life brings.

This competition allows me to celebrate not only the incredible families I've had the honor of documenting but also the unwavering strength and love that prevails, even in the most challenging times.

Finding Strength in Community: The 2021 Image Competition

2021 was a challenging year, marked by personal loss and the ongoing pandemic. The thought of participating in the IAPBP Image Competition felt daunting, but Liz Cook, our inspiring leader, encouraged us to push forward. Despite my reluctance, I heeded her call, and it proved to be a transformative experience.

Rediscovering Hope: The Power of a Single Image

Amidst the darkness, I unearthed a photograph from a 2020 birth—a young, first-time chiropractic couple welcoming their son. It wasn't about winning awards; it was about reconnecting with the profound emotions of being a birth worker, mother, and supporter. Memories of shared laughter with midwives, a best friend's kindness, and the mother's unwavering strength flooded back, offering a sense of peace and belonging.

The IAPBP Community: A Lifeline in Difficult Times

The image's calmness mirrored the support I found within the IAPBP community. This global network of birth photographers provides a sense of connection and solidarity, even in the most trying times. I'm proud to be a part of this organization that celebrates the beauty of birth and empowers its members to thrive.

4 images from 2021 births I considered entering into the 2022 IAPBP image competition


Reflecting on 2021: A Year of Growth & Powerful Birth Stories

Revisiting my birth photography portfolio from the previous year is always a profound experience. It's a chance to witness my artistic evolution, relive the unique beauty of each birth story, and appreciate the incredible families I've had the privilege to serve.

Choosing the Perfect Images: A Blend of Passion and Strategy

Selecting images for the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers (IAPBP) Image Competition is both exhilarating and challenging. It's a delicate balance between personal favorites that evoke deep emotions and technically strong images with award-winning potential. Ultimately, every submission is a celebration of the transformative power of birth.

In this blog post, I'm thrilled to share a selection of my top birth photographs from 2021 that I considered for the 2022 competition. I invite you to immerse yourself in these powerful images and share your thoughts on which ones resonate most deeply with you.

Community & Connection: Celebrating the Art of Birth Photography

The annual image competition fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared passion within the birth photography community. It's inspiring to witness the growth and evolution of my colleagues' artistry and the incredible birth stories they've captured.

Join the Celebration: 2024 IAPBP Image Competition

I invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of birth photography as we eagerly await the results of the 2024 IAPBP Image Competition. I'm excited to connect with fellow photographers, admire their work, and continue sharing the transformative power of birth with the world.


I definitely cannot wait to see what some of my favorite artists and colleagues captured in 2021 in this year’s birth photography image competition. I am especially excited to see what my colleague from the Netherlands, Jessica Innemee, owner of https://www.vi-photography.nl submitted this year. She was the first place overall winner in 2020 with her stunning postpartum image, and every time I am able to take a peak at her work through the year, I am always marveling over her latest captures and edits.

And last year, 2021, artist and fellow birth photographer, Ashley Marston of Ashley Marston Photography from Canada took home the first place spot with her stunning post partum image "Daddy's Girls" - I just cannot wait to see which images she submitted this year and what her 2021 was like.

Not to forget anyone, but a few others I am really eager to see, after having a chaotic second year of the blahdemic are:

Hanna Hill of Hanna Hill Photography who placed best in post partum last year with her stunning image "My Body, My Birth"

I alwayyyys love to see what Dana Jacobs of Dana Jacobs Photography brings to the table… she also had an Honorable Mention alongside of me last year with her image: "Of All Our Travels, This Journey Will Be Our Greatest"

Bree Garcia of J&B Photography, LLC Always has EPIC EPIC captures and I sure hope to see her in the 2022 image competition. Her last winning award in 2020 “Warrior” left me mesmerized I’ve never forgotten it.

Alexandria Mooney of Alexandria Mooney Photography submitted the best black and white shot in delivery back in 2020 with her image “Unmasking The Many Layers Of Birth” and I can’t wait to see her work from 2021!


A Glimpse into 2021: My Top Birth Photography Moments

Without further ado, I'm excited to share a curated collection of my favorite birth photographs from 2021, each a contender for this year's prestigious IAPBP Image Competition. I invite you to immerse yourself in these powerful moments and let me know which images resonate most deeply with you in the comments below! Your feedback is invaluable as I navigate the final selection process.
