CENTRAL FLORIDA — BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER, & DOULA

Emily Santi — birth photographer, videographer, and certified doula helping Orlando and Central Florida families preserve the sacred, tender, and triumphant moments of bringing life into the world.
Emily Santi
I believe birth is not just a medical event, but a sacred transition.
I bring a calm presence and an editorial eye to your most transformative day. I'm there to hold your hand, and then to capture the moment you first hold theirs.
After more than seven years and 150+ births attended, I continue documenting birth because nothing else feels as raw, powerful, and deeply human.
“Emily is the absolute best!! I had a homebirth here in Orlando, FL very recently and had {her} as the birth photographer on my birth team. She is such a beautiful spirit, so funny, made the process so easy, and was just an absolute delight to have at my birth. She has that energy where it feels like you've known her forever and works around the birthing spaces like a butterfly floating around from flower to flower (but it's her catching shot after incredible shot). She caught the most incredible photos, worked beautifully around my family and all my kiddos”

Common questions
-
I recommend booking early in your second trimester. I take a limited number of births each month to protect the quality of care each family receives. That said, I do accept last minute clients when my schedule allows, so please reach out even if you're further along.
-
I prioritize natural and ambient light to keep the mood of your space intact. Flash is only used when absolutely necessary and always with discretion.
-
Once I arrive, I stay. There are no time cutoffs — I remain until your baby is earthside and the first golden hours are documented. On the rare occasion labor is especially long, I may call in a backup after 24 hours of continuous support, but this is uncommon.
-
Yes. I regularly cover births across Central Florida and am available for travel within about two hours of Orlando.
