FAQ

  • As of Jan 2024, I have attenaded 177 births since 2014, and counting!

  • Absolutely! I would love to get to know you and your family. We can also communicate using Whatsapp messaging, email or a phone call. Once you have confirmed your booking, I will meet you at your home so we can discuss more on what to expect on birthing day, lighting, attire, your physical space arrangements, contract details and more.

  • As soon as you can! I only take 3 to 4 births a month and slots do fill up fast so do make your booking the soonest. Even if you feel that you are already quite far into pregnancy, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am more than happy to chat.

  • Full payment by 36 weeks of your pregnancy.

  • I will be on call for you 24/7 from weeks 36 to the arrival of your baby. That means my phone is always with me and never switched off. Once you are in active labour, your Midwife or Doula will be the one calling me and gathering the birth team at your home.

  • I aim to get to you within 45 minutes to an hour. It really depends on the traffic and weather condition so do call your Midwife or Doula as soon as you feel like this is it! I stay as long as the birth takes and up to 3 hours after baby is born.

  • Yes and no, depending on what you prefer. We can discuss more on this when we meet. I firmly believe that you are fully deserving to completely uncensored, raw, authentic and unrestricted birth photography. This is so crucial in assisting you to process your birth story when it is captured in its entirety.

  • If you did not manage to call me in advance, your birth happens too fast and I miss your birth while on the way to you, I will still be showing up at your home to capture as many post-birth shots as possible. (eg. skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, family portraits, shots of baby, weighing and measurement, newborn exam etc.) Please note that there will be no refund of the fees paid.

  • I will not be granted permission to enter with you due to Singapore’s hospital policy. The Birth Story package would be considered as utilised and fulfilled as I have spent an amount of time with you documenting the birth process at your home. I am happy to return to you for some newborn photos within 48 hours.

  • ou will receive 5-10 images within 48 hours after the birth. The fully edited gallery will be hand-edited by me and take 4 to 6 weeks to be sent to you digitally, in password-protected online private galleries. They are available for download in both web and full-size resolution. If your package includes any heirloom albums, that will take another 3 to 4 weeks for production, print and delivery.

  • I would love to share your amazing story with the world but only with a signed Media Release form from you to ensure that I have your permission to do so. Should this be granted, your privacy is as important to me so do rest assured that I will only post discreet images of your birth journey responsibly.

  • No, there will be strictly no releasing of raw and unedited images, or "return of all images".

  • The birth of a baby is such a vulnerable and intimate experience and it can be overwhelming for partners! It is with valid reasons for them to be unsure or have reservations about birth photography. Besides having those first moments of you with baby on camera, what I love about documenting births is to capture the devotion, love and connection between partners. Their presence and support are so important, and is part of your birth story. These won't be captured if your partner is the one holding the camera. Your birth only happens once, and there is really no do-overs. You cannot recreate these moments, ever. You might not remember much of the details of your birth. Having your birth documented allows you to relive this beautiful day over and over again. And on days when life feels hard, I promise you these photos would speak to you and prove just how strong you are! Also, I encourage you to speak with other homebirth families who have had me as their Birth Photographer and hear their experiences!

  • Yes. Please ask :)

  • All my "Complete" packages come with a beautiful heirloom photo album in a keepsake box. I really want you to have the best! I cannot emphasise enough how extremely passionate I am about having your photos printed on the gorgeous Giclée fine art paper. Digital images surely look fabulous on screen. But the truth is, how often do we pull out our digital archives to see, or to show to our families and children? Nothing can be compared to seeing those moments in a physical book, where you can flip and run your fingers over the pages, touch and feel the textures. It encourages you to look at your photos more often. Truly an irreplaceable and well deserving way to preserve your birth legacy and to see those timeless memories come to life. Also, what an absolute priceless keepsake gift to pass to your children!
