WHY HIRE ME AS YOUR BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER

 

The day is finally here - You are going to meet your baby.

There would be so many moments that your heart longs to remember forever. The gentle touch of your partner, the reassuring support from your Midwife or Doula, the presence of a family member, a dear friend, your older children or even your beloved pet. The laughter, the tears, the stillness, the flowing and moving through of all the emotions, and everything in between. Before you know it, with the next breath, your baby is here!

You might want your birth partner to capture these precious moments, yet you desire that person to be fully present with you, and to feel 100% supported, heard and seen throughout the process. To all the lovely birth companions, hold her, not the camera!

And the last thing you would want is shaky, blurry, dark images, having to miss a shot, or have no photos at all.

“We don’t even have any photos of our last birth”. This is something I hear so very often from my clients.

There are absolutely no do-overs on this glorious and life-changing day! All the hard work that you have done in preparation to meet your baby is one of the most challenging and best work you will ever do. As you bring your baby earthside, you will want to remember this moment for the rest of your life.

Karl Lagerfeld said it perfectly: "What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."

As your birth unfolds, just how it is meant to be, I will be weaving your birth story through the images captured, detailing with glimpses of all the delicate and big moments.

Having me at your birth also means I’m not just another person in the room, but I carry the spirit of a birth keeper who deeply understands the birth process. Stepping into my 10th year, having attended and documented over 170 births, I truly believe that birth is sovereign, sacred, holy, and to be highly revered. My heart is filled with thanksgiving to be in such an intimate space. Bringing the right intention and energy are non-negotiable and highly important to me. I seek to create and ensure a calm and safe environment - minimal equipment and no flash photography for a quiet and undisturbed birth.

You and your baby deserve a gentle beginning to life.

And having all those timeless and precious moments captured.

BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT.
