Welcome to the World | Albany GA Birth Photography
I’ve been doing birth photography for several years now and it is one of my favorite life events to be a part of. When we moved to SW Georgia, I noticed that birth photography is not as common and when I’ve told people that I offer these services I’ve had more than a few raised eyebrows – “you photograph WHAT?” But I ask, Why WOULDN’T you want to photograph such a monumental day in your life? Your child only has one first moment, one first breath, one first cry.
Here’s what other parents have said about me photographing the birth of their baby:
———————————-
“Once it came time for the doctors and nurses to start working, Tammi faded into the background. I honestly don’t know how she got all the shots she did because I completely forgot she was there”
“When I approached my husband about having the birth photographed, his immediate thought was the cost (which is so like him). As we watched the DVD after, he cried (which is so unlike him) and said ‘it was so worth every penny’.”
“Tammi was very discrete and non-invasive during the birth. As I watched the DVD, I realized how many times i missed the fact that she took a picture because I was so unaware of her being in the room. And yet she captured all the beautiful moments that I will treasure – the tears in my husband’s eyes, the smile on my face as we saw our little girl for the first time, and the first kiss on her sweet head”
“I initially expected some pictures of the birth, but what she gave us told a beautiful story. She put together a “private” slideshow on the DVD, which was wonderfully graphic and absolutely beautiful but only appropriate to show to a select few. The “public” slideshow was amazing and so tastefully done that we have shared it with various people – family, friends, even teachers at my daughter’s school”
“Pregnant women get so much advice from others…and my advice to them is easy: Document it in pictures. You will never regret it”
——————————–
Last Wednesday I had the beautiful opportunity of photographing the birth of Megan & Stuart’s first baby, sweet little Sofia. Being asked to be a part of something as intimate and life-changing as the birth of a baby is not a privilege I take lightly. I truly feel humbled, grateful, and honored to have been part of such a special day and to have been invited to take part in documenting a baby’s first breath in this world, a couple’s first breath as parents.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Megan and Stuart for letting me be a part of your special day and congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter.

Ok I am crying in my special k cereal. Thanks for the warning (of tissue needed) Laurie. This is the most touching, heart warming, special gift ever. Wow at the photography talent! Meagan, your new family is so beautiful and Tammi captured Stubaby’s love for you and baby Sofia so tenderly. I hope I get to see the DVD soon. I love all of you. Congratulations again. (and hey – why is everyone leaving the A out of your name Meagan?? Just thought I’d throw that in there!!) Love you!
October 27th, 2009 at 6:09 am
I can’t believe that Laurie’s little sister is all grown up with a gorgeous family. These pictures bring tears to my eyes for a number of reasons. They are just fantastic. You truly captured emotion, anticipation and mood with these shots. What a precious baby!
October 27th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Oh, Meagan and Stuart, these photos are so precious. I know you will make wonderful parents. Little Sofia is welcomed by a loving extended family, and it’s an honor for me to be a part of that family. You are loved!
October 27th, 2009 at 6:43 am

These are great, Stuart and Megan. Seriously. The images tell a wonderful story, and she’s such a beautiful little girl.

Being there as your nurse was wonderful! I witness these miracles every day but knowing the parents experiencing the moment makes it so much more special! I am grateful to have been a part of such an amazing time and the pictures are breathtaking- I wanted to see more and more. What a beautiful baby and family! Congratulations!

Meagan and Stu…..WOW
What a blessing. Little Pamela Sofia is absolutely beautiful and perfect from the top of her head to the tip of her tiny toes.
I know how you feel about Josh not being here to enjoy this blessing with you because that is how I feel about Jared each time I look at little Mason Jared. We know they both could have added so much to the lives of these two babies. Praise God they are still a part of their lives…they see them and have the same emotions towards them(even more enhanced) that they would here on earth. They are still being great uncles and are even closer to these babies than we could ever imagine. God has not short changed Josh or Jared in the pleasure of being uncles…that I know for sure.
Love you guys…can’t wait to hold that baby and kiss the top of her head. Call me. Hope to see you soon.
