*April 2024 COVID-19 Update: Working with Birth Photography Clients giving birth in hospital, home births, and birth centers.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?
The best time to book your Birth Photography session is four to six months before your baby arrives. Schedule during the first and second trimesters for availability. We'll go over what to expect in your third-trimester, when to notify me of any signs of labor, (we’ll plan for inductions or c-sections if you are scheduled). Contact me for availability surrounding your due date here.
ABOUT PAULINA
I AM A VERY FAMILY CENTERED PERSON AND A MOM TO TWO AMAZING KIDS.
I MET MY HUSBAND IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR OVER A DECADE :)
I LOVE TRAVELING & LIVE FOR GOOD FOOD!
I LOVE SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES, WATCHING NETFLIX (ESPECIALLY CHRISTMAS-ROM-COMS). THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS ARE MY FAVORITE HOLIDAYS
Dedicated to capturing the timeless beauty of birth stories and I have proudly served as Boca Raton's Birth Photographer since 2014, marking nine years of cherished moments.
Witnessing Baby Raymond's first weigh-in, held by his proud mother Ida, my first Birth Photography client and baby from 9 years ago, August 31st 2014, is the heart of my work.
Connecting with my Birth Photography clients is a source of immense joy. Beyond the newborn phase, I appreciate the privilege of watching my Birth Photography clients’ children grow. Hosting annual Black & White Studio Motherhood Photo Sessions allows me to reunite with my growing families in South Florida.
I specializing in On-Call Birth Photography, Birth Videos, Maternity/Pregnancy, & Newborn Photo Sessions, delivering world-class photography.
“My birth experience of a lifetime was invigorating with Paulina as part of our team. She not only captured our birth story but captured our hearts as part of our birth family. We had an unexpected C-Section after trying for 30 hours naturally and she comforted me with her first hand experience with a similar scenario that happened to her. She offered her support and experience and creatively capturing each moment of our birth experience. She is undoubtedly the BEST birth photographer in the business! We love you Paulina!!!”
Messages from past birth clients
“I am in love with the photos Paulina took of my sons birth that I now will get to cherish forever! Paulina is NOT just a photographer, she is apart of your (my) birth TEAM!! She not only took photos but supported me and my husband Connor throughout labor! She was loving, kind, and truly made us feel like family throughout the process. We cannot wait to grow our family again, you will always be apart of our birth team!”
““Paulina just captured our second birth story within two years & I can’t begin to describe how special she & her work are. She was not only supportive during labor while photographing all of the amazing moments, but also before & after. Her passion for the beauty of birth is second to none. We could not be happier with her photos, they absolutely speak for themselves! Hiring her to let us relive these moments was one of the best decisions we made while preparing for our babies””
“There aren’t words to explain Paulina’s skills as a birth photographer. She is the kindest person you would want around when giving birth. We had the pleasure of having Paulina not only as our Birth Photographer but also as our Doula, when our son decided to come earlier, derailing our home birth plans and having to move to the hospital in Boca Raton. She kept me calm and focused, and even advocated for me when I could no longer do it for myself.
If you’re looking for a Birth Photographer, you should give Paulina a call!”
What cities do you photograph baby’s birth stories in?
Many of my Birth Photography clients plan to have their babies in Boca Raton, Delray Beach or Boynton Beach with the amazing OBGYNS and Midwives at Boca Regional Hospital (and I’d like to emphasize that Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital has an excellent NICU Staff who care for critically ill babies at or around 28 weeks or greater Nurses and respiratory therapist trained to level III NICU) and West Boca Medical Center, and I also capture birth stories throughout Palm Beach County and Broward County, including Jupiter Medical Center with Dr. Dudley Brown and Dr. Marc Kaufman’s teams, (they have a Level II De George Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is equipped to care for babies born as early as 32 weeks) and West Palm Beach all the way through Coral Springs with Omega Women’s Care, Dr. Skeete’s team in Fort Lauderdale, home births in Deerfield Beach, Davie, Weston and even Southwest Ranches and Pembroke Pines (either at home or at one of the Memorial Hospitals). Occasionally I work with Miami-based birth clients who are giving birth at Mount Sinai with Dr. Bitran who I’ve had several births with just in recent years or having a home birth with Midwife Mary Harris or clients who are out of tri-county area, out of the state of Florida and out of the country.
