*** SORRY!  I AM NOT CURRENTLY TAKING BIRTH BOOKINGS FOR 2018 ***

I LOVE photographing births. 

Full of emotion, connection and tiny first moments you want to hold onto forever.

It's about first moments - your baby's first breath, his first cuddle starring up at you with brand new eyes full of love and wonder. 

The first time your partner sees their precious baby, and they crumble with emotion. 

The way they look at you - you're amazing - they have developed a whole new respect for you and your strength.

Your little family grows... by a heartful..

It's looking at the photos and being taken right back to the moment.  Remembering how you FELT.


Beautiful feedback...

"I got the package you sent - it's so beautiful!! Thank you so much. I just can't thank you enough. I have been watching the slide shows and looking at the photos a lot lately and I'm so thankful I have them. I felt a bit traumatised in the days after the birth because it was so different and scary compared to my first birth. The photos helped me put everything in perspective. The pain and fear you can see on my face helped me process things and really validated how I felt after. Also the photos of how happy we are are so touching. As I said they put everything in perspective! Thank you so much."

Birth photography does not need to be graphic or gory.  It is not about posing or performing for the camera - I am a fly on the wall, and do my best to stay out of the way while still getting the shots.



Have concerns or questions?

That's perfectly normal!  It's a big thing.  Let's make a time to pop over to my studio for a chat  - no obligation.  I'm very easy going and I'm happy to answer all your questions.
