Birth Photography at Kennestone Hospital
With one of the busiest labor and delivery units in Georgia, Kennestone Hospital is where thousands of families begin their stories each year. No matter how many births happen within its walls, yours is entirely your own. Whether you're welcoming your first baby or adding another little one to your family, we document your birth with a calm, unobtrusive approach that allows you to stay fully present. From the quiet anticipation before labor to the first time you hold your baby, our photographs and films preserve the moments that often become a blur in the hours and days that follow.
What birth photography Looks Like at Kennestone
Kennestone Hospital allows up to three support people in labor and delivery suites and one person in the operating room for surgical births. If you’re planning a surgical birth (or want to understand how we would cover this in case of emergency), please reach out to schedule a Zoom with us! Hospital policies can change periodically, so we always encourage families to confirm the most current visitor and support-person guidelines directly with Kennestone.
Kennestone Hospital has a level 3 NICU as well as a Transitional Nursery in case your newborn needs any extra specialized care, and when we are able, we are happy to document your unique birth story in these spaces too, whether from the window, the waiting room, or with a parent inside.
Practical Tips for Birth Photos and Video at Kennestone Hospital
On the first floor of Kennestone’s outpatient pavilion is Tower & Church Bistro, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you'd like to create a little extra warmth in your photos, it never hurts to toss a small strand of twinkle lights into your hospital bag. They're an easy way to add a cozy glow to your room, especially during evening or overnight births. If possible, choose traditional warm-white lights instead of LEDs, as LEDs can cast a cool blue tint that's less flattering in both photos and video and can cause banding.
