What number pregnancy / baby is this?

Where are you planning on birthing?

Will your children be present during your labour / birth?

Have you spoken to your care providers about having me present?
And also in the event of needing a c section for any reason would I be able to present during or in recovery?

In the event I am not able to make your birth – Would you like me to try and organise a back up photographer?

If I am to miss your birth for any reason (unless illness), I will be able to come to the hospital post birth birth for a fresh 48 / bonding session plus your choice of a newborn or family home lifestyle session. Is this okay with you?

Are you aware if you are sensitive to noise, light, smells, touch etc during labour?

I understand there may be times when you might like me to step away and give you a break and some privacy. Is there any specific moments you know of at the moment that you would like me to leave the room for?
Internal exams / epidurals / emergency situations / vomiting / during labour / whilst pushing etc.

I bring a flash along to my births and will only use if i need to – this will greatly improve the quality of the images. This is not your typical flash and will be bounced off walls or the roof. Never directly at you. Are you okay with flash being used?
You can ask me at any time during the labour if this bothers you, and I will immediately turn it off.

Are you comfortable with me sharing images from your session/s to my social media/website/Marketing etc?(required)

Yes of course!

Yes, but only with my specific approval!

No thank you, I would like to keep these private!

Would you be interested in telling your birth story via my blog along side my images?

I understand that during an emergency situation, medical staff may ask the photographer to leave the birthing space.

I understand there may be times the photographer may need to leave the room for a breath of air, breather, food or bathroom break. This will be made sure to NOT be taken during an important part of the labour / birth.

I understand that Life with Lou Photography cannot guarantee any images or the quality as birth is such an unpredictable part of life, and labour and birth can change in a matter of seconds. I will however guarantee to capture those emotions and moments of the day to the best of my ability given the circumstances.
