Meet Your Birth Photographer

Hello, friend. I’m Kaitlyn (she/her), a certified birth photographer, videographer, and doula based in Colorado Springs. I’ve birthed three girlies in and out of the hospital (#3’s birth went viral last year, so you’ve possibly watched me catch her, standing up next to the hospital bed and drenched in contagious joy).

I’m deeply inspired by the resilience, joy, and self-knowing that happens in the birth space. Giving you space and support to experience that, and giving you the ability to look back on that powerful knowing is why I’m here.

Alongside birth work, I regularly donate bereavement photography to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, and help families richly document and embrace their pregnancy and postpartum.

The most powerful births I’ve witnessed have been those where the family felt supported, safe, and centered. I want that for you!

Your birth is worth supporting, embracing, remembering, and honoring.

I believe that all births – your birth – deserve support, celebration, honoring, embracing. And that’s valid whether you’re planning to birth at home or in the OR, medicated or unmedicated – birth is WORK (sacred, hard work), and if this is the kind of birth you want, I’m here for you.

I felt so understood being with Kaitlyn, and so much more empowered going into birth with Kaitlyn on our team!

The Process

01. Reserve your due date

And prepare for your birth

Your birth fee reserves your space on my calendar for the weeks around your due date to be available 24/7 to attend your birth. A pre-booking consult (virtual or in person) is required before booking; both you and your partner should feel wholly comfortable welcoming me into your most vulnerable space before hiring me!

Your birth fee ($1400) also includes:

1-2 prenatal visits to practice comfort measures and refine your birth plans
Luxurious, emotionally-safe support throughout your pregnancy and postpartum
Doula support at your birth, when you need me
Dual photo-video documentation of your birth
A postpartum visit and reveal in your home

02. Birth your Babe

Photo, Video, Doula Support

Your job is to be deeply, wholly yourself as you bring this baby into your arms. Lean on your birth team, embrace the feels. I’ll be there when you’re ready for my support, and document your experience in all the in-between moments with your values in mind. You’ll have my support and documentation until babe has arrived and you’re settled postpartum.

Birth documentation is donated for stillbirths and terminal diagnoses (a portion of your birth fee goes towards making this possible; please contact me however’s easiest to request bereavement services).

03. Postpartum Visit and Reveal

2-4 weeks Postpartum

I come to you in the comforts of your home for our postpartum visit and reveal. We’ll take time to process your birth, troubleshoot sticky pain points postpartum, and then view your birth gallery & film for the first time. Once you’ve seen your images and film, we’ll pull together the most meaningful art into a custom collection, just for you. Every investment includes tangible pieces you’ll experience for years to come.

Birth Photography FAQ’s:

No! I get this question often, and am proud to not only document and support home births and birth center births, but also unmedicated hospital births, medicated (epidural) hospital births, cesarean births, and stillbirths as well. Birth is birth – life-changing hard work, difficult and worthwhile, well deserving of support and professional documentation.

I recommend having your birth team (medical provider, doula, photographer/videographer) hired by your second trimester. If you feel strongly about having someone on your team, please reach out as soon as possible to ensure you get a space on their calendar; some birth photographers, doulas & midwives fill up their calendars 6 months or more in advance.

That being said, it’s never too late to ask! Birth is unpredictable, and sometimes we have last-minute availability.

Birth doulas provide birthing families emotional, physical, and sometimes spiritual support. They’re different from your medical team; your midwife, nurse and/or OB take care of you medically, while your doula is there to support you emotionally, physically & spiritually – oftentimes throughout pregnancy (when you hire them), through your birth, and into postpartum.

Every birthing family is different; some value my doula support more, and some value birth documentation more. I’ll adjust where I focus my energy in your birth space based on your values and needs in the moment!

Families who prioritize birth documentation often have ample support (like a dedicated doula or family) or are experienced birthers, but appreciate knowing they have me as a doula in their space just in case birth throws them a wild card (sometimes that makes a huge difference). Families who prioritize doula support often will have me focus on doula support during their labor, and then treasure having their golden hour and getting to know their baby documented.

Yes! I am both a certified doula and Birth Becomes You certified birth photographer. I’ve also completed advanced training in supporting pregnancy and infant loss to better serve loss families.

As your doula, I come to your birth when you feel ready for support (that’s typically about when you shift into active labor), and stay until you’re settled after birth (usually about 2 hours).

I’ve had my fair share of fast births and have yet to miss one (communication helps a lot here), but in the case that you push out your baby before I’m there with you, I’ll still come and document and support your birth. That looks like documenting your golden hour and getting to know baby (some of the most tender moments in birth spaces), and help you process the rapid changes you just experienced. I’ll also incorporate any phone videos your partner might have gotten into your final film.

KMP is based in Northeastern Colorado Springs – we accept Colorado Springs births (aka home, birth center, or hospital births throughout the Colorado Springs area), and Denver births as far north as Littleton (including Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Castle Rock).
