A Day Worth Preserving, Documenting and Romanticising.
Choosing a photographer that has niched down to capture births, means you’ve chosen an artist who has committed to what it means to live a life on call, and all that comes with that. We are sincerely passionate about prioritising the work and your baby’s entrance to the world. Birth photographers usually cannot take other high-stakes event work, such as weddings, in our bookings, and that we limit other session styles in our calendar to minimise reschedules and provide balance in our family life.
Moving through birth spaces with confidence and tact, are specific skills I have cultivated through time, patience and a great deal of effort. As a doula and photographer with years of experience in this area, there are several benefits to hiring me as your birth photographer, including:
Confidence in the optimal time to contact me to arrive, based on your birth aspirations, location, and planning and your birthing history. I do not ask for internal checks or use a broad marker for my attendance.
A caseload reflective of someone who is available and capable of prioritising attending births. I only take 2 families per month, and am comfortable staying put if birth should become longer than expected
Discernment in capturing more significant medical events should they arise
Experience and competence in theatre for Caesarean photography (where access can be permitted)
Pre-labour consulting to establish what is right for your family and team of professionals, and what is expected from my involvement in your birth space.
Follow-up photography offered at no extra charge, should your immediate postpartum not allow for a first-hold, first feed, or skin-to-skin (within Hamilton only)
Preparedness to relocate if your birth location moves-mid birth, including hospital transfers
Repeat client discounts for any future sessions, including family work or repeat birth images
All birth is worthy, beautiful and profound. I capture diverse birth experiences that provide you with a timeline of what can be a hazy event, and can offer to provide additional video coverage of your baby’s birth on a phone, as well as a professional short video of labour highlights. See some examples of my work below.
