There are literally no words to describe the amazing experience photographing a birth is. To be able to tell the story, how important every single little detail is. Birth photography is a relatively new service that a few photographers are now providing. We see it as a natural extension to our maternity & newborn stories, we get to capture this babies entrance from the start – their loving family, the entrance to this world & then capturing the essential “babyness”.
They say there’s no do-overs on a wedding day – well imagine a birth… you miss the moment, you can never ever repeat it. I was exceptionally lucky to be able to go into theatre for this c-section, a very last minute addition for which I, and the family, will be eternally grateful.
A little info… this is a birth post. While all the images are black & white, there are still photos some people may find “graphic”.

awwww… that’s such a beautiful series of shots. I have to say it was very cathartic for me to see these, as I had a c-section and don’t think I have ever quite gotten over the disappointment of having to. But seeing these piccies – WOW you have captured the beauty in every moment, and reminded me that no matter which way your baby comes out – having a healthy baby is all that matters. Aren’t we blessed to be mumma’s! xo
Thank you for that amazing comment – you made me all teary! I think it’s important for all mums and mums to be realise that the most incredible thing is birthing a healthy baby, whichever way it happens
Wow, it amazes me that whenever Lana is away from Mum – screaming her head off. Being held by Mum or Dad – quiet and alert. Just says it all, doesn’t it?
