BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDE
Embarking on the journey of welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most profound experiences a family can have. I am deeply passionate about capturing the raw emotion and beauty of this transformative time through birth photography.
I stay on call from 37 weeks of pregnancy to ensure I’m ready to capture your baby’s arrival. I understand the unpredictable nature of childbirth, so I make every effort to be available when the time comes.
While I am committed to being there for your labor and delivery, please note that due to factors like childcare and pre-existing commitments, I cannot always guarantee my presence for the entire duration of your birth. In such cases, I offer the option for a partial refund and scheduling a Fresh48 session to capture those early moments with your newborn, ensuring you still receive beautiful, authentic images of this special time.
I’ll stay in close communication with you as your due date approaches, and we can discuss any specific needs or preferences you might have.
BIRTH STORY PRICING
I cannot always guarantee my presence for the entire duration of your labor. To accommodate this, I offer an hourly rate for my time during the birth.
Minimum booking time is 2 hours.
$449/hr (+GST) for first 2 hours + $249/hr for each additional hour.
On-call availability from 37 weeks until delivery.
Coverage of active labor, birth, and immediate postpartum moments (billed hourly).
FULL GALLERY - all good photos (culled so the gallery is not overwhelming).
Documentary approach.
Option to add a Fresh48 and/or newborn session at a discounted rate.
Please note that while I will make every effort to attend your birth, there is a chance I will not be available. In case I am unable to attend, the money paid will transfer to the Fresh48 or Newborn session.

MY APPROACH
A Quiet Observer
Capturing the birth of your baby is a deeply personal and intimate experience. My approach to birth photography is rooted in being a quiet observer. I strive to blend seamlessly into the background, allowing you and your loved ones to focus on the moment without feeling overwhelmed by the presence of a photographer.
I aim to document the raw, unfiltered beauty of your birth journey, every tender touch, every powerful contraction, and every moment of joy as you welcome your baby into the world. By staying unobtrusive and calm, I ensure that the true essence of your experience is captured naturally and authentically.
While I offer gentle direction when needed, my goal is to let the unfolding moments speak for themselves. If you notice me quietly observing, it’s because I’m allowing the beauty of the moment to unfold organically, creating a collection of images that reflect the genuine emotions and connections of this special time.
