I first knew that I wanted to photograph births when I was pregnant with my second child, Forrest. A very good friend of mine asked me if I would be there and document the birth of her third child, I immediately said yes. I was about 32 weeks pregnant at the time and as soon as I entered the sacred birth space I just felt at home. I can't explain it but it became so clear to me that I was meant to offer birth photography, I could feel it to the core of my being.
It is so incredibly beautiful to bear witness to another human soul undergoing one of the biggest transformations of their lives, that of becoming a parent. It doesn’t matter if it is your first baby or fifth baby, the journey we go through to bring our babies into this world is life changing. Every birth is a unique once in a lifetime experience. It is a journey that changes us as human beings. If there is any time in our lives that truly deserves to be honoured, revered and documented it is this unique journey of bringing new life into this world.
I hold such deep beliefs for the intrinsic power we already possess and believe wholeheartedly in our capabilities as women/birthing people to birth our babies. As someone who loves to learn and expand my knowledge of all things I did my doula training along with several workshops including the biomechanics of birth as a way to be a better part of your birth team. I don’t consider myself a doula but as your birth photographer I will hold space for you and will be able to offer you emotional and practical support when needed if it feels right. I have also done extensive birth photography training through Birth Becomes You and have become a certified birth photographer and this is all to better serve you as I genuinely care about your birth story and want you to have the best experience possible.
I understand how important it is to be able to read the energy of the birth space, to know when to mindfully capture moments and when to pause and take a step back. I aim to seamlessly blend into your birth space, respectfully and quietly documenting your story.
