Hello! I’m a South Florida birth photographer with 11+ years of experience and over 200 births captured. I attend home and hospital births from Port St. Lucie to Southwest Ranches, including 100+ births at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional. I also offer maternity, Fresh 48, newborn, sibling meetings, coming home, and family sessions. My goal is simple: help you feel calm, supported, and fully present as you meet your baby.
Best photographer we’ve ever had so pleasant and kind she made the day even better. I can’t recommend anyone else but her we appreciate everything that you’ve done for us.

There are times in my life where I choose not to take pictures because I want to focus on the memory in mind. I want to remember every detail possible and the emotions I felt during that time. When I had my twins, this was my focus and I regret not taking more pictures of this special time to share with them as they get older. When I had my son, I chose to work with Paulina so that I could live in the moment and also have those pictures later to remind me of one of the most important days in my life. Her work is breathtaking looking at the photos as well as watching the video of my son's birth brings me back to that rare spectacular day emotionally. She not only has enormous talent, but is highly respected by doctors, hospital staff and is incredibly knowledgeable about so many aspects of the birth. Paulina was inconspicuous and I didn't even know she was there until I needed her. I needed her because she said the most positive and encouraging words and was so supportive of me and my choices for my birth. I only wish I would have met her sooner and that everyone who is going to have a baby realizes the numerous benefits of having Paulina as a birth photographer.

Paulina has been photographing our family for several years now. We have had the pleasure of sharing with her our big, memorable moments as well as the small moments that form everyday life. Each time, she has managed to capture the joy of the moment and the love in our hearts. Paulina makes you feel relaxed during the session and encourages you to be yourself as she captures those amazing candid shots she's known for. After the session, she's generally quick with proofs and makes the selection process easy with an online gallery. The final photos are always beautiful, touched up just enough that everyone looks their best while still looking like themselves.

From my surrogate and I, my lifelong best friend, we cannot recommend Paulina Splecta highly enough. As the photographer for our miracle baby girl Charlie, Paulina did far more than capture beautiful images: she helped us get set up with the hospital beforehand, coached us through labor with calm, expert guidance, and brought an incredible sense of peace to the entire experience. Her presence was essential; we would not have had the birth we did without her. We are forever grateful to Paulina for her skill, compassion, and steady support. If you want someone in Florida who will truly hold space for you and capture every meaningful moment, she is the one.

great experience and a video memory that captured every special moment of the entire day leading up to and including when we met our first baby! Couldn't recommend Paulina enough AND she shared a birthday with our son and was there for us the entire time!

Where do I even begin. I was researching and looking for a birth photographer for the birth of our son and I came across Paulina. From the first phone call with her, I felt a deep connection. She spoke to me about birth photography and pregnancy with such passion. I immediately knew I wanted her to be the one to capture the most important and sacred day of my life. I had so many questions and she always had the time for me and made me feel capable and strong. She gave me so much information and led me to wonderful people in the birth world which resulted in a beautiful birth. I am thankful for her. We are currently trying for our second child and we will be hiring Paulina again. What a beautiful human she is.

Paulina is the best! She documented the birth of my son and was like a second doula—so calming, so wonderful, so helpful and then on top of that captured the whole experience beautifully. I cannot recommend her more highly. Working with her is a delight. She's easy to communicate with and offers so many options for photos and videos. If you are looking for someone to photograph and video your delivery, look no further. Thank you for everything Paulina!!

It’s hard for me to put into words the amount of gratitude I have for Paulina and her work. Before I knew her as a person, I was in love with her work. Her natural ability to capture birth’s rawness and real emotion was captivating to me. You can tell she pours her heart into every client she has. Now, knowing and loving her as a person, I can confirm all those things. Her talent is just one of her incredible characteristics. I secured her early in my pregnancy so I was able to learn from her, ask for advice, converse about birth, & form a bond. Having a birth team you can turn to for ANYTHING is SO invaluable. My pictures give me goosebumps every time i look at them. I am so grateful to her for all her knowledge, support, and of course, my forever memories 📸<br><br>When I say my life is better because I met Paulina, I mean it. It’s taken me so long to write this because there aren’t enough words. Not only is she incredibly talented, but the human she is, at the depths of her core, made my experience one I will remember and cherish forever.<br>Paulina wasn’t just a photographer present for my birth. From the moment she took me on as a client, she was a mentor, a supporter, a birth worker, a teacher, a therapist and a friend. We instantly connected. The IG posts of positivity sent at 2 am, the reassurance when I would get a moment of doubt, the LOVE texts at 9pm after she would put her kids to bed- she was a forever light in a very uncertain and frankly, nerve wracking time as a first time mom.<br>I haven’t even touched on the pictures. THE PICTURESSSSS!!!! Oh my gosh. Anytime I see them, they bring tears to my eyes. I was in labor Lala land and couldn’t fully grasp anything going on around me. She was able to capture everything. All the emotions, all the vibes, everything I prepared for and wanted to see . my birth didn’t go as planned but she made sure to fulfill the pictures of my birth package, once little babe was here.<br>I will forever be grateful to Paulina for her guidance, my beautiful pictures I will have forever, her love but most of all her friendship. I will always look back on this time of my life and remember that she was a huge positive part of my journey. She will always be a part of my story and my family forever.

I was going to have a home birth and wanted to be able to have someone photograph the whole labor process and birth of my son. I knew how important that was for me to be able to have those memories!<br>My sister referred me Paulina, and the very first time I talked to her I knew she was the one and I didn’t have to contact any other photographers.<br>Talking to her felt like I was talking to a best friend, and when I found out I couldn’t have a home birth due to pre eclampsia I was devastated and Paulina was very loving and compassionate with everything that I was feeling, she understood what I was going through, and she kept reassuring me everything was going to be fine. She calm me down and I started to understand that God’s plans were different than mine and I just had to trust Him.<br>You can also message her at anytime and she WILL get back to you right away, which gives us peace of mind since babies are so unpredictable and can come at anytime.<br>One more thing I think it’s important to mention is that birth photography is something so personal and I can’t imagine having someone you never met in your life getting into your privacy and you feeling uncomfortable with that person, that’s why the connection Paulina builds with you from the beginning is SO IMPORTANT and you’ll feel like she’s part of the family and you know her since forever.<br>She didn’t just stand there taking pictures, she was my support, she was proactive, always making sure I was hydrated , calm, laughing through pain, listening to my music, she was supporting me every step of the way, again, she felt more like a best friend than just a photographer.<br>If I can refer her a thousand times I will, best birth photographer and friend :)
