birth photography training

the lumen of birth storytelling

birth photography course

this is not just about becoming a birth photographer.

this is a life altering calling that through our course will unearth passion, purpose, faith and new financial strides.

Do you dream of capturing birth stories—but feel unsure how to start, were to find clients, or confidently offer photography in the birth space?

You’re not alone—and you are so welcome here.

That dream you have? The one where you're standing quietly in the corner of a birth space, camera in hand, witnessing life enter the world—it’s sacred, and it’s real. But the feelings of uncertainty are real, too. Maybe you’ve wondered…

How do I even get started? What gear do I need? How do I build trust with families and birth teams? What if I miss the birth—or miss an important moment? Can I really turn this into a sustainable business that aligns with my lifestyle?

These questions are valid—and exactly why this course exists.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. What you need is a guide, someone to walk with you as you take your first faithful steps. This course will teach you the technical skills of low-light photography, the emotional intelligence to navigate sacred spaces, and basic business tools to confidently book and serve clients—all with a deep respect for the holy nature of birth.

You’ll not only learn how to photograph birth—you’ll learn how to show up with presence, reverence, and quiet confidence. You’ll walk away with the skills and heart posture to begin offering birth photography in a way that honors families, your artistry, and your calling.

If this dream has been tugging at your heart… it’s time.

"And I am confident in this, that he who began good work in you will carry it on to completion..."

"I recently attended a birth photography workshop hosted by Angelia and I cannot recommend it enough. It was such an incredible experience and it completely changed the way I approach birth photography. Angelia was amazing, teaching practical skills like working with natural lighting and navigating the unpredictable moments of birth while also emphasizing the importance of storytelling and connection. The hands-on practice gave me so much confidence, and the sense of community with the other photographers was so inspiring. I left not just as a better photographer, but with a deeper appreciation for the power of capturing such intimate, life-changing moments. Whether you are brand new to taking photos or you’re already an experienced photographer, I would recommend to anyone interested in birth and motherhood photography!!! 10/10"I use the strategies I learned in this masterclass daily. They help me show up for myself and my family in incredible ways."

"Angelia’s birth photography workshop was so lovely. It was so special gathering with fellow birth workers who were ready to take their photography skills to the next level. We sat on floor cushions and were provided snacks and drinks as she handed out notebooks; along with a cheat sheet for us to reference as we learned about our camera settings. She provided space for us to ask questions and then she went around the room to help us individually with our unique cameras. She had a power point set up which I found to be really thorough and showed how thoughtful and intentional she was about creating this class. She even brought in models for us to photograph which felt so elevated! One was a postpartum mama with her baby, and one was pregnant. I learned so much and it gave me the confidence to continue my own journey as a birth photographer. I highly recommend her class!"

hi, I'm angelia

I have been in birth work for the past six years, offering motherhood photography for the past five. My heart is in capturing the raw beauty of motherhood, building community, and seeing other birth workers thrive in their passions. I believe we all have something uniquely beautiful to offer to the women in our community. I would be delighted to meet you and have the honor to share the art of birth photography with you!
