Hey all,
I am a birth doula and offer photography to my clients as part of my services. Nothing major--I'm not primarily there as a photographer--but the first few moments to hour of baby's life. I attend birth center, home, and hospital births. I shoot on my iPhone 6Plus...so obviously lots of room for improvement here! LOL I was doing fine until a family brought their DSLR to a birth and my heart broke remembering how much I LOVE taking real pictures.
Things I know for sure: I need mirrorless...the slap of the mirror is hugely intrusive (it worked for DSLR fam because it was their camera). I need good/great low light portrait ability WITHOUT needing a prime lens...I have to be able to get a close up shot without intruding on intimate moments. I need super easy immediate transfer through an app to my clients--part of the reason I've stuck it out with the stupid iPhone so long is that they get something to send/post right away. I need to spend less that $15oo for total setup (ideally under $1K) because I'm a sole proprietor with 1 kid in college and 2 in high school, so tuition is the main priority for my $$$.
What has the hive mind got for me?!? Cheers and thank you!
