Birth photography is the most profound work I do. There is nothing like being present in the room as a new life enters the world. These images are not glamourous. They are honest, and they are extraordinary. A testament to the strength of a mother, and the irreplaceable first seconds of a life just begun.
I arrive in early labour and stay until after baby's first feed. You won't notice I'm there - my job is to document, not direct. What you'll receive is a complete story of one of the most significant days of your life.
Ideally by your second trimester. Birth photography books up fast since I can only commit to one due date at a time within a close window.
Once you go into labour, you call or message me and I make my way to you. I stay on call from around week 38 until you've delivered.
Not at all. I stay quiet and unobtrusive, capturing the real moments as they unfold without ever directing or interrupting.
Whatever path your birth takes, I'm there to document it with care, whether that's a home birth, hospital birth or caesarean.
You'll have a small selection of edited images within a few days, with your full gallery ready within 1 to 2 weeks.
Most families find their birth photos to be some of the most powerful they'll ever own. I photograph with discretion and always discuss your comfort level beforehand.
