"I CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF PAUL. HE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER AND AN OVERALL PERSON OF INTEGRITY. I HAVE ATTENDED HUNDREDS OF BIRTHS, AND I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY GIFTED BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHERS. PAUL IS ONE OF THE BEST. I HAVE TO BE HONEST, THE FIRST TIME WE WORKED TOGETHER AT A BIRTH, I THOUGHT, "WAIT... A MALE BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER??" BY THE END OF THE BIRTH, I WAS A FAN. PAUL WAS EXTREMELY RESPECTFUL, TOOK PICTURES IN STEALTH-LIKE FASHION, AND WAS A HUGE HELP THROUGHOUT THE BIRTH. WE RESPECTFULLY CALL HIM THE BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER "DUDE-LA." I AM ALWAYS SO THRILLED WHEN I HEAR ONE OF MY CLIENTS HAS CHOSEN HIM AS THEIR BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER. THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK AND HIS CHARACTER AS A HUMAN BEING IS IMPECCABLE. FIVE STARS FOR PAUL!"

“WORKING WITH PAUL TO DOCUMENT THE BIRTH OF OUR THIRD CHILD WAS AN INCREDIBLY SPECIAL MEMORY FOR US AS A COUPLE AND AS A FAMILY. WE KNOW AND HAVE WORKED WITH MANY TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AND PAUL IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST. HIS CREATIVITY AND EYE FOR CAPTURING THE FRAGILITY AND WONDER OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE SHINES THROUGH IN EVERY PHOTO AND WE WILL TREASURE EACH ONE AS A CELEBRATION OF OUR DAUGHTER AND A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND HUMANITY OF THE BIRTHING PROCESS. BUT PERHAPS MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE HIRED PAUL BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS. HIS EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND ABILITY TO READ THE MOOD IN THE ROOM LEFT US COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AT EVERY POINT OF LABOR AND DELIVERY. BIRTH INCLUDES MANY MOMENTS OF UNCERTAINTY, PAIN, RESILIENCE, DESPAIR, JOY, AND ELATION--PAUL DEEPLY UNDERSTANDS HOW TO RESPOND RESPECTFULLY AND ARTISTICALLY TO EACH ONE. HE HAS A REMARKABLE GIFT AND WE'RE SO GRATEFUL THAT HE SHARED IT WITH US ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF OUR LIVES.”

The Dude-la

My interest in medicine began in high school while I was the primary caretaker for my father whose health was in decline. I considered pursuing a career as a PA or NP. But my love for photography won out. However, my job as a storyteller has allowed me to tell stories from all over the world while I traveled with various medical teams, combining multiple passions into one profession.

As part of your birth team, my job is to care for you and your family, while also capturing the emotional journey of new life. Sometimes that means putting down the camera to lift heavy objects, get more towels, or play interference with extended family. Because of all of this, several birth professionals have affectionately nicknamed me “The Dude-la”.

Investment

Birth photography requires being on call for weeks at a time, being able to operate on very little sleep and with poor lighting conditions. You don’t really know how long you’ll be working, and your client will likely reach all ends of the emotional and physical spectrum. And you’ll be entrusted to capture it all with care and sensitivity. That said, your investment can vary depending on all these variables.

INITIALLY, I HAD SOME HESITATION ABOUT HAVING A MALE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE ROOM WHILE MY WIFE WAS GIVING BIRTH. AFTER LOOKING AT PAUL'S AMAZING WORK, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE WORTH IT. I WAS REASSURED AT THE HOSPITAL THAT THIS WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE. PAUL IS VERY RESPECTFUL AND NURTURING. HE IS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE BIRTH PROCESS AND COMFORTING TO HAVE IN THE ROOM. PAUL PROVIDED A LOT OF SUPPORT, WHILE ALSO RESPECTING OUR SPACE. WE WOULD HAVE PAUL PHOTOGRAPH ANOTHER BIRTH WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Values

T R U S T

Trust and respect are essential for a photographer to capture the sacred moments of birth. I'm honored to be invited into such an intimate experience and will treat it with the utmost care.

C A R E

Your well-being and that of your child are my top priorities. Photography is my primary function, but being on your team sometimes means helping when the situation demands it.

I N T E G R I T Y

When we consistently do the right thing, even in private, we demonstrate a commitment to honoring others. Without integrity, trust becomes impossible, and care becomes insincere.
