Rhode Island Birth Photographer
CAPTURING YOUR
TIMELESS MEMORIES
 
I believe that no matter how you give birth, every woman should see themselves through an artist's point of view...at the height of their strength, determination, and courage. I think all women should have their birth photographed because of the dimension of the moment. As your baby grows and glows with life, documenting his or her birth is as exciting as watching their gentle changes. Entrusting a professional photographer to photograph your baby's birth means you can enjoy these sweet and tender moments forever. Truly, if there ever was a time to entrust yourself to a professional birth photographer, then now is the time to do so.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE UNPREDICTABILITY, MESSY, CRAZY RIDE THAT COMES ALONG WITH HAVING A BABY.
 
Hey there,
I'M DOMINIQUE MARIE
 
RHODE ISLAND BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER
As a photographer, I have been privileged to witness and capture many special moments in people's lives. From weddings to graduations, each event holds its own significance and holds a special place in my heart. However, there is one sacred moment that stands out above all others – the birth of a child.
I am honored that you are considering Viva Por Ti Photography to capture this momentous occasion. The day your child is welcomed into the world is a moment that you will cherish for the rest of your life. It is a moment filled with love, joy, and wonder – a moment that cannot be replicated or relived.
But what sets me apart from other photographers is my love for the unpredictability, messy, crazy ride that comes along with having a baby. From the first contraction to the moment you hold your little one in your arms, the journey of childbirth is full of unexpected twists and turns. And as a photographer, I am there to capture all of it – the tears, the laughter, the pain, and the euphoria.
I firmly believe that every woman should have their birth photographed. It is a dimension of the moment that changes your life in massive ways. Not only does it serve as a beautiful memento of the day your child entered the world, but it also allows you to see yourself through an artist's point of view. In the midst of the chaos and intensity of labor, you are a source of strength, determination, and courage. And that should be celebrated and captured for eternity.
I have had the privilege of witnessing all kinds of births – natural, cesarean, home births, hospital births – and I believe that no matter how you bring your child into the world, every woman should have the opportunity to see herself in the high of her power and femininity. As a photographer, it is my mission to capture these moments in a way that reflects the beauty and strength of a woman in labor.
Being invited into your birth space is not something I take lightly. It is an intimate moment, filled with vulnerability, and I am grateful for the trust that my clients place in me. With my camera in hand, I am there to document the raw and authentic emotions of your journey into motherhood.
So, to all the soon-to-be mothers out there – whether you are expecting your first, second, or eighth child – I invite you to let Viva Por Ti Photography be a part of your birth story. Together, we can create a powerful and compelling visual narrative that captures the beauty, love, and strength of this momentous occasion.

WHY HIRE A
birth photographer?
Many don't think twice about hiring a photographer for their wedding day, so why should the birth of your child be any different? Have you ever heard the story of how you were brought into this world? Wouldn't it be wonderful if that story had images to go with it? Imagine, as adults, how great it would be to see ourselves as we are being born, to see our mom as she becomes a parent, to see what we looked like as a fresh newborn. Hiring a photographer isn't just for the parents, it's a gift to your child and a wonderful way to share your experience with family and friends. By hiring a professional photographer your partner will be free to experience the moment as it is happening, and not through the lens of a camera, and they will actually be in the photos! Hiring a photographer that is very familiar with birth means that you will have your story documented, edited, and presented with the professional quality you deserve. To truly remember and be able to share the joy and triumph for such a significant day, there is no better way to capture that memory, and share that legacy, than having a birth photographer do it for it.
YOU ARE A SOURCE OF STRENGTH, DETERMINATION, AND COURAGE.
 
 
WHY WORK
 
 
with me?
 
I have a passion for serving my clients well. But my desire to serve goes beyond just wanting to do a good job - it stems from a personal experience that has shaped my perspective on birth.
When I gave birth for the first time, I found myself in a sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers and medical equipment. I felt vulnerable and alone, longing for someone who knew birth and truly cared for me and my family to be by my side. That experience planted a seed within me, a desire to be that person for others. And now, as a birthing woman and photographer, I have the opportunity to hold space for my clients and support them during one of the most important moments of their lives. To me, they are not just clients - they are family, and I want nothing but the best for them.
Your birth and your experience matter deeply to me. That's why I pour my heart and soul into every birth space. I want to be the best person for the job, to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere and capture the raw and beautiful moments of your birth story.
But my passion for serving you well goes beyond just showing up and taking photographs. I have a deep understanding of the significance of birth and the emotions that come with it. That's why I approach every birth and session with intention and care, making sure to document your unique story in a way that truly reflects your journey.
I am not just in this for the photography, though I do love it dearly. I am in this to make a difference in your birth experience. So let me serve you, not just out of a desire to be served well, but because it is my absolute joy and privilege to do so. Let me hold space for you and support you, because I know firsthand the impact that can have on your birth experience. Let's create something meaningful and beautiful together.

FRESH 48
 
Sessions
You begin a new chapter in your life when you have a baby. Not only is it your child’s birthday, but it’s the day you and your partner are born into parents. For the last nine months, you carried this beautiful creation. You’ve been dreaming about who they may look like, what color eyes they may have, how tiny their toes and hands are, and what they may sound like. A Fresh 48 session is a beautiful way to capture those sweet moments and fresh new beginnings.
Fresh 48 sessions are within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life; these lifestyle sessions are perfect for remembering the first day forever. You can expect me to arrive at your birthplace within 48 hours of birth. As this is not a traditional newborn session, there will not be any posing, props, or lights added. This session will capture your baby’s first sweet moments freshly and naturally! Considering the nature of Fresh 48 sessions and Birth Photography Coverage, the number of clients is limited each month.
