You cannot beat the feeling in the room when a baby is being born…. It can be powerful, intense, magical, spiritual, emotional. It will move you like nothing else in the world can. The power present in a woman’s inner being as she brings her baby forth, the care and admiration of a husband or partner, the very first moment mother and baby lock eyes. Professional birth photography will freeze those moments in time, providing the stunning images to go with your incredible birth story. The images will capture your journey to motherhood and beautifully preserve all the emotions you felt at the very moment your baby took their first breath.
I know there will be a day when women don’t think twice about hiring a birth photographer, just as they don’t think twice about hiring a wedding photographer. I am at the cutting edge of something remarkably special. I have the technical and artistic ability of a photographer, the professional knowledge taken from my previous life as a Midwife and the loving, tender heart of a Mum who has journeyed through birth 3 times myself. Each journey all so very different, allowing me to relate to women with all sorts of birth stories.
I shoot in a photojournalistic style, like a fly on the wall, not saying a word, just sitting back and capturing every moment with my camera. I have a special passion for homebirth but I have also photographed births at local hospitals. I compile your photographs into a slideshow for you to cherish in years to come. I have no doubt you will view your slideshow over and over and with a tear in your eye think how remarkable you are and how beautiful the process of birth is.
It is so easy to forget the vernix that covered his soft squishy body, the thick pulsating cord that slowly stopped beating, that very first breast feed with her gazing up at you in awe. Your photographs will be a beautiful reminder of that very first meeting. I am sure you will hold them close to your heart forever.
