Happy 1st Birthday Freddie

Ahhh I loved the birth of Freddie so much, Lena experienced what I could only have dreamt of with my births. I didn’t even know home birth was an option. She did so amazingly well, giving birth completely naturally. By choosing a birthing pool at home, beautiful Freddie was born into a world surrounded by familiarity and love.

Lena had the support of her partner Stuart & her son Tommy in the birthing pool. Also present were Lena’s mum & sister, a true family affair.

Her midwife was local independent midwife, Virginia Howes.

Lena, every time I look back at the story of Freddie’s birth I smile, you were so amazing and truly inspirational.

I find it so hard to believe a year has passed, what a gorgeous little baby Freddie is! Happy very 1st Birthday Freddie! Enjoy your extra special day!

Happy 1st Birthday Oscar

On this day exactly one year ago I was on my own little journey of self discovery, I’ve loved documentary photography for as long as I can remember and anything relating to the family. Well on this day one year ago I found out where my heart lies…..

I was witnessing the incredible journey of Nic as she bought her first child into the world with the wonderful support of her partner Scott. Having 3 children of my own the magic of birth was not new to me but been able to be a bystander and capture the emotions that occur between 2 people whom love each dearly as they together bring their baby into the world was something entirely magical. I don’t think I personally realised how much the birthing partner goes through until this day, it’s intense, even more so if there are dramas, these two were utterly amazing!!

Capturing this magical night of firsts for Nic & Scott showed me my heart belongs in birth photography, and all that comes with it, combining my love of the family and documentary to tell the magical story of a baby’s birth day. Every baby born is an individual magical journey and I am privileged to be able to capture those. Times passes so quickly it’s easy to forget, these images help you to never forget the magical if slightly scary journey of your babies arrival and their amazing first moments.

Why hire a birth photographer?

When I tell people I am a birth photographer I tend to receive a mixed set of emotions, some people are dumbstruck, others find the idea a little unpleasant but most are interested and ask questions such as why? Well here is my response……..

Birth Photography is currently deemed relatively new in England but the idea of having a photographer present at the birth is beginning to catch on. I have been lucky enough to be present at 2 births, as well as having 3 children of my own. I can tell you as both a mother and photographer each birth is different, magical in it’s own way, no matter how you choose to give birth, each method brings the same result, a beautiful new baby. By having me present I can capture those precious first moments you have with your baby, the look on your face when you first hold your baby, the sheer emotion of the moment.

I am there to capture one of the most wonderful moments in your life, I capture labour and the emotions between the woman and her partner. I capture birth and those precious first moments as a new family. I am there so your birthing partner can focus purely on you, too many people miss precious moments due to wondering where the camera is and how they must remember to photograph this moment. I am there to take those photographic fears away and provide you with possibly the most amazing story you will ever tell, the story of your precious new arrival.
