BIRTH MINI
You don’t have to sacrifice on quality just because a full birth package is out of your budget. I get it.
That’s why I’ve designed the Birth Mini package especially for you, so this once-in-a-lifetime day can still be captured even when finances feel tight.
The moment you first hold your baby can never be recreated.
This unique package is not only budget-friendly but also wonderfully flexible.
You can tweak it at any time if your wishes change.
Heads up: I only offer one Birth Mini package per month, it’s wise to secure it early!
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
As the name suggests, Birth Mini gives you all the essentials of a full birth documentary — no compromises. You won’t miss anything important. I’ll be there to capture your birth story, you’ll receive the kind of photos you'd expect from me, and you’ll also get a luxe mini album.
But that’s not all: after the birth, you can still enhance your package. Got a gift contribution at your baby shower? Want a larger album or more images? You can upgrade up to one year after birth.
Nothing mandatory, everything optional.

WHAT IF...
…I can’t be there on the day?
This package does not include the guarantee of a backup photographer. If I am not available when your labor begins, your package will be converted into a postpartum session within the first two weeks after birth. Please note that the deposit covers standby availability only; the postpartum session is invoiced separately.
…labor lasts longer than five hours?
I usually arrive around 7–8 cm dilation. If things go beyond five hours from that point, you can decide on the spot to upgrade. I’ll stay until one hour after birth at €175 per extra hour, or you can upgrade.
…you want more images or a bigger album afterward?
No problem at all. You can expand your package whenever it feels right, even up to a year later.
…I’m called to another birth mid-shift?
That almost never happens, but births are unpredictable. If it does, you’ll receive all the images I’ve taken so far plus a lifestyle newborn session within the first two weeks.
…I arrive late?
I always do everything I can to be on time, but babies have their own schedule. If I arrive after birth, I’ll start photographing right away and stay as long as needed within the five-hour limit to capture meaningful, emotional moments.
…you want full certainty that your birth will be documented even if I’m unavailable?
Then I recommend choosing the Birth Day package. It includes my backup network, ensuring that a photographer of my level can step in if needed. I’ll still personally edit all the photos, so you’ll receive the quality you expect from me.
In short, with Birth Mini you’re covered. A beautifully affordable package that gives you freedom and flexibility. You’re never locked in. You can adjust, upgrade or enhance your package whenever it suits you.
