An exclusive new offer for AlphaBirth couples – 60% off a {Fresh} 48 Newborn Photography Session

/in /by

AlphaBirth has teamed with innovative birth photographer Angela Martin of Redboots Photography to offer our couples a “sneak preview” of Angela’s exciting newborn photography package launching this Spring – a {Fresh} 48 Session. Couples who have attended or booked an AlphaBirth GentleBirth workshop can receive 60% off this unique photo session capturing those first precious 48 hours of their baby’s birth.

Keeping those moments of your labour and birth private to just you and your partner, a {Fresh} 48 Session is a different kind of birth photoshoot that still captures that wonder and joy of welcoming your new arrival! These sessions take place within 48 hours of your baby’s birth, so it’s perfect for those fresh newborn moments and the tiny details to be captured after you and baby have had the chance to rest a while. Your first hours together and special moments are captured artistically so you will always have them and feel that overwhelmingly fresh love.

What exactly is included in a {Fresh} 48 Session?

  • The {Fresh} 48 Session takes place when you call, during daylight hours, within the first 48 hours of birth. The sooner the better!
  • It can take place at the hospital or at home and will last approximately 60-90 minutes
  • Photos are taken in a documentary style similar to Angela’s birth photography – unposed, natural or available light, with a mix of black and white and soft colour images
  • Includes same day (or next day if your session is late in the day) blog post and a Facebook/Twitter sneak peek for you to share with friends and family.
  • Sessions are pre-booked by you so that Angela is available within the first two days after birth. She uses your EDD to allow a “window” where she is ready to capture your baby’s first precious hours.

This package is normally €480 however AlphaBirth couples who would like to try the package and would be willing to share their photos so others can see the results can purchase a {Fresh} 48 Session for €192 – a 60% discount. They can also purchase 15-20 hand-edited high resolution digital images with print release up to photo size 8″ x 10″ for unlimited printing and sharing with family and friends for an additional €100.

Space is limited for this exclusive offer and is available to the first 5 AlphaBirth couples who would like to take part.

To book, please email sylda@alphabirth.ie

For more information, you can contact Angela directly on 087 202 4999.

NEW! GentleBirth Cocoon – headphones designed for ultimate comfort and privacy

/in /by

I am delighted to introduce an exciting new product to the Birth Rocks catalogue – GentleBirth Cocoon.

Birth Rocks, www.alphabirth.ie

These specially designed headband headphones were created with the GentleBirth mum in mind. They are perfect for listening to your tracks, music, the radio – or anything you would normally use headphones for – while relaxing in bed. They also have a volume control cord built-in so you don’t have to worry about leaning over the side of the bed to adjust the volume on your audio player.

You can place the Cocoon over your eyes like an eye mask to create that extra element of privacy, something particularly useful during a stay in hospital or while you’re on a labour ward.

Reassuringly, the Cocoon is made from eco-friendly, lead-free components and a Polartec® recycled plastic non-pilling wicking fleece. So they’re both comfy and environmentally friendly! You can also remove the speakers and machine wash the headband.

CocoonProductWeb1-500x500

The Cocoon usually retails for €29.95 but for the month of December, we’re offering a 20% discount. Simply enter the coupon code COCOON at the checkout to avail of your discount.

The headphones are a perfect treat for expecting mums planning their calm, confident birth. They would also make a great gift for the mums-to-be in your life!

Pick up your set here.
