Birth in all its complexity.

- Bellies - Birth - Babies - Beyond -

Entering a birth space is like stepping into a portal where time stands still as we honour and wait for a birthing family to bring forth new life.

Birth is about starting afresh. A new baby. A new mother. A new father. Siblings. Family. Joy. Longing. Loving. Life.

It can also be about overcoming fear and self-doubt, overcoming past trauma, or overcoming personal history. Leaving what was and travelling to the very depths of yourself to bring a new life into a world - a world which you will create for them. All of these feelings come together to create the complexity of birth, and these are the feelings which are so important to capture. These feelings are the essence of you! Thinking back to my own two births, there are so many little details I have forgotten or don't remember completely (second birth). The early days of newborn fog suddenly overcrowd the memories of birth itself and THIS is why having your birth captured on camera and video is so incredibly important.

I am here for the joy. I am here for the doubt. I am here to observe or to serve.

To me birth photographs are just the end result of the whole package. When I attend your birth I give encouragement, support, advocation and help. I can boil water or wet down a cloth for your forehead. I can warm up heat packs or give a hip squeeze if needed, or I can melt into the background and document your story as a fly on the wall. Your story is yours to create and I respect all birth decisions.

I am a mother, I am a server, I am an advocator for your decisions alone, More importantly I will be your friend through this

...I am a woman. I honour and support birthing families and believe in empowerment and education to support your birth choices.
