Golden Hour
Doula & Photography Perth
 
 
Welcome & Congratulations!
I'm so glad you're here!
 
I'm Mon, the heart behind Golden Hour Doula & Photography 💛
At Golden Hour, I believe the mother deserves to be cared for just as intentionally as the baby.
As a Perth birth doula, I offer gentle, nurturing and non-judgemental support through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum days, caring for families across Perth's southern suburbs.
As a photographer, I capture the people, connection and little moments that make this season yours.
Whether I'm beside you through birth or behind the camera, my hope is that you feel comfortable, cared for and completely yourself.
Because while your baby matters deeply, so do you.
Is Golden Hour For You?
Golden Hour is for mamas who want genuine care, practical support and someone in their corner as they navigate pregnancy, birth and life with a new baby.
Whether you're preparing to meet your first baby, welcoming another little one, or simply wanting to feel supported through this season, I'm here to walk alongside you with calm, compassionate and judgement-free support.
You don't have to do it all alone.
Doula Support
Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
Birth is one of life's most transformative experiences, and you deserve more than someone who simply tells you what to expect.
As your doula, I'm here to listen, educate, encourage and support you - emotionally, physically and practically, while helping you feel prepared to make decisions that are right for you.
From pregnancy through birth and into those first days with your baby, you'll have someone in your corner who genuinely cares about you.
Because you deserve to be cared for too.
Photography
Your Tender Moments Captured For A Lifetime!
Photography isn't just about how your family looks. It's about the connection between you, the little details you don't want to forget and the season of life you're living right now.
 
As both a doula and photographer,
I understand the vulnerability and beauty of birth. I gently preserve the moments that unfold — the strength, the love, the first touches and the emotions that make your birth story uniquely yours. Making myself invisible, whilst still capturing the moments you want to cherish for a lifetime.
A celebration of you, the mother and the incredible journey that brought you here. You deserve to feel beautiful and honoured, which is why I capture and create heartfelt images that honour this fleeting season and the connection between you and your growing baby. Access to complimentary client wardrobe.
Those first days with your baby are filled with moments you wish you could hold onto forever. I capture the tiny details, gentle connections and overwhelming love of this precious season, creating timeless memories of the beginning of your family’s story. Offering both in home (I come to you) newborn sessions, as well as fresh 48 (session in the first 48hrs of bubs life). Complimentary baby wraps, outfits and headbands.
Every family has a story worth celebrating. Through natural and heartfelt photography, I capture the bond, personalities and beautiful moments that make your family uniquely yours — preserving memories you’ll treasure as your children grow. I shoot with a mix of candid moments, and posed images.
 
Why Golden Hour?
More than beautiful photographs.
More than birth support.
My favourite quote that I live my life by is:
“Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”
At Golden Hour, this is at the true heart of everything I do.
I believe the most important part of the motherhood journey and the thing that makes all the difference is the mother feeling held, heard and empowered.
Therefore, put simply, this is what you receive when we work together. I am there from start to finish of your journey, to laugh and cry with you. Whilst I am always furthering my knowledge, my true gift, is how I make you feel.
Every mother deserves to feel seen, nurtured and supported. Whether I am walking alongside you as your doula or capturing your story through photography, my heart is to create a calm and loving space where you feel valued, respected and cared for. Alongside this, I provide birth education and evidence-based information so you can feel informed, confident and in control of your decisions — and in those moments when you can't advocate for yourself, I will be there to support you. You are the centre of why I am here!
Your journey is more than a moment to manage or a story to document — it is a deeply personal experience to be honoured and remembered.
Held with love. Captured for a lifetime.

FAQ
What is your service area?
I'm based in Yangebup and support families SOR in Perth, WA. From Rockingham to Perth, Coogee to Armadale and surrounds. Travel within 30km of Yangebup is included. If you live outside this catchment or you aren't sure, please contact to discuss or to seek referrals from NOR Doulas and Photographers. See my Service Area & Travel Fees for more information.
 
What kind of births do you support?
I am most experienced in homebirths, birth centres, natural births and VBAC's, however I am non judgemental and welcoming to all. I am happy to support and/or photograph those having inductions, hospital births and C-Sections too. Birth location needs to be within my travel range of 50km.
 
When should I book my doula or photography services?
 
The earlier the better. Doulas and birth photography are best booked asap as I only take on a certain number of births a month. This allows me to provide the quality of care I want for each family while ensuring I have availability around your due date. This goes for postpartum care also, as well as Fresh 48 newborn photoshoots. Maternity, newborn and family photography sessions can also be planned ahead to secure your preferred time. Preferably one to two months. You can view my current doula and photography packages here.
 
Do you offer both doula support and photography?
Yes. You can choose doula support, photography, or combine both services. Golden Hour allows you to have one trusted person supporting you and documenting this season of your life.
 
You don't have to do this alone!
Whether you're preparing for birth, welcoming your baby or settling into life with your growing family, I'm here to support you with genuine care and capture the moments that matter.
