The Day "I Live For You" Becomes Real: Our Philosophy on Birth Photography

On a warm June afternoon like this in Rhode Island, the world feels full of life and promise. It’s a feeling that takes me back to the very soul of this business. Our name, Viva Por Ti, means "I live for you." While we often witness this promise at weddings, for me, its truest, most visceral meaning was forged through the profound journey of motherhood. Birth photography, for us, is not just another service. It is the ultimate expression of our name—the moment a vow becomes a reality. It is the foundational story we are most honored to tell.

To understand our philosophy, you have to understand my own story. My journey as a photographer didn't begin with joy, but with loss. In 2013, I lost my daughter to a miscarriage, a heartbreak that reshaped my world. In the quiet grief that followed, I bought my first camera. It was a way to focus, to find a sliver of light in the darkness. Then, in 2016, my son was born, and that light became a brilliant sun. Holding him, I felt an overwhelming urge to capture every fleeting detail. This inspiration became a passion, driving me to teach myself everything there was to know about this art form. In 2017, born from the crucible of these two profound experiences—one of loss and one of life—Viva Por Ti was created, a tribute to my children who inspired it all.

This is why we believe the birth space is sacred ground. It’s a room where the veil between worlds feels thin, where you witness the raw, incredible power of the human body and spirit. It is the exact moment a person transforms into a parent. It is the second you look at your child and the phrase "I live for you" stops being a concept and becomes the most real, tangible truth in your entire existence. Your world shifts on its axis, and your purpose is forever redefined by the tiny being in your arms.

Our role in that sacred space is one of quiet, devotional storytelling. We are not just a photographer; we are a calm, unobtrusive presence, there to honor your journey with the reverence it deserves. We are there to capture the incredible strength in your hands, the unwavering support of your partner’s touch, your baby’s first breath in this world, and the overwhelming love that floods the room. These are not just pictures. They are the first page of your child's story, a testament to the monumental love that brought them here.

This is a legacy for your child. It is the visual proof that from their very first second of life, they were cherished. It's the story of their arrival, a gift that will only grow more precious with time. For us, capturing this is not a job. It is the ultimate fulfillment of the promise in our name.
