Wow, for only $1500-$2500 you could have a professional birth photographer to document everything! Personally if I could get out of this c-section I would prefer to have just Doug a midwife and a doula (The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.)
But, to each their own, and some people want a cheering crowd I suppose. Why not a photographer? I'm surprised that it's allowed especially in a surgical suite. I'm sure half of the fee accounts for the "on-call" nature of the subject....not much photo shoot planning, just an estimate and keeping the phone on all hours.
I'm happy to just enjoy the memory.
