Birth Photography
Frequently Asked Questions
01. Why Hire a Birth Photographer?
Hiring a birth photographer ensures that one of the most transformative moments of your life is beautifully documented. From the intensity of labour to the tender first interactions with your baby, I capture the raw emotions, strength, and beauty of your birth story. These images become timeless treasures that you can share with your family for generations.

02. How Many Births Do You Book Per Month?
To provide personalised attention and ensure I’m available for each family, I only book one to two birth stories per month. I’m on call 24/7 from 38 weeks gestation until your baby arrives, so my availability is dedicated entirely to you.
03. When Will You Arrive at My Birth?
I aim to arrive during active labour and coordinate closely with your birth partner, midwife, or doula to determine the best time. Every birth is unique, and I consider factors like your birthplace and labour history when planning my arrival.
04. How Long Will You Stay?
I stay for up to 2 hours post-birth, capturing the golden hour moments like skin-to-skin contact, the first latch, and initial family interactions. If you prefer privacy during this time, I can adjust my departure accordingly.
05. What Happens If You Miss the Birth?
Birth can be unpredictable, and I will do everything possible to be there to document your baby's birth story. However, in the unlikely event that I miss the moment of birth, I will still document the first few hours post-birth capturing all the magical moments of you, your partner & your newest love.
06. Do You Share Every Birth on Social Media?
Your privacy is my priority. I only share images with your consent. During our consultation, we’ll discuss what you’re comfortable sharing and which moments you prefer to keep private.
07. Can I Customise My Package?
Absolutely! While I offer standard packages, I’m happy to discuss your unique needs and create a customised option that works for you and your family.
08. Do You Offer Payment Plans?
Yes, I offer flexible payment plans to make investing in your birth story manageable. Contact me to discuss options that suit your budget.
