Perth Birth Photography
Your birth story, beautifully remembered.
Birth is powerful, emotional and fleeting. While you focus on meeting your baby, I'll quietly capture the moments you may not see — the anticipation, strength, connection, first touch and first moments together.
My approach is natural and unobtrusive, allowing you to stay present while I preserve the story of your baby's arrival.
You live the moment. I'll capture the memories.
I offer birth photography across Perth’s southern suburbs, including Cockburn, Yangebup, Beeliar, Success and surrounding areas.
Your Birth, As You Remember It
Your birth doesn't need to become a photoshoot.
I'll follow the rhythm of your labour rather than directing it, allowing you to focus on the people and moments that matter most.
Rather than asking you to pose, I'll pay attention to what is naturally unfolding around you - the anticipation before your baby arrives, the reassuring touch of your partner, the hands caring for you, the atmosphere of your birth space and the first moments of meeting your baby.
Your gallery may include:
✨ The anticipation and excitement before birth
✨ The strength and emotion of labour
✨ Your partner supporting you
✨ Your midwife, doula or birth team
✨ The little details of your birth space
✨ The moment your baby arrives
✨ First touches and cuddles
✨ Skin-to-skin
✨ First feeds
✨ Sibling and family introductions
✨ The quiet moments once the room settles
I'll be there to notice the moments you might be too busy experiencing to see.
You don't need to think about the camera. You get to be fully in your birth.
The Journey
Before Your Birth
Once you're booked, we'll spend time getting to know you and talking about the birth you're hoping for.
We'll discuss:
✨ Your planned place of birth
✨ Your birth preferences
✨ What you'd particularly love captured
✨ Any moments or details you'd prefer not to be photographed
✨ Your birth team
✨ Hospital or birth-centre photography requirements
✨ When you'd like me to join you during labour
This gives me a clear understanding of what's important to you while still leaving room for your birth to unfold naturally.
1
When Labour Begins
I'll be on call for you from 38 weeks until your baby arrives.
When labour begins, we'll keep in contact and you'll let me know how things are progressing.
We'll decide together when it's the right time for me to make my way to you, based on your individual circumstances and planned birth location.
Once I arrive, I'll settle quietly into the space and allow you to remain focused on your labour.
I won't take over your birth space. I'll simply be there to observe, anticipate and capture your story as it unfolds.

During Labour & Birth
I'll use a documentary-style approach, capturing your birth without constantly asking you to look at the camera or pose.
I'll photograph the moments you may not notice happening around you:
The squeeze of your partner's hand.
The support of your midwife.
The quiet moments between contractions.
The anticipation as birth gets closer.
The tears.
The laughter.
The strength.
The first moment you see your baby.
Your birth, exactly as you experienced it.

Your First Moments Together
After your baby arrives, I'll stay to document those beautiful first moments together.
Depending on your circumstances and package, this may include:
✨ First touch
✨ Skin-to-skin
✨ First feeds
✨ Your partner meeting baby
✨ Sibling introductions
✨ Baby's first checks
✨ Weighing and measuring
✨ Those quiet moments after birth
✨ Your first family photographs
These early hours can pass in a blur.
Your photographs give you the chance to slow them down and remember.
Respecting Your Space
Working Around Your Birth Team
Your birth space belongs to you and your care team first.
I'll work thoughtfully around the midwives, doctors, nurses, doulas and other people supporting you, taking care not to interrupt their work or add unnecessary activity to the room.
My experience as a doula gives me an understanding of how quickly things can change during labour. I'll pay attention to what's happening around me, anticipate when I need to move, and know when the best photograph is sometimes the one I take from a little further away.
The camera should never become the focus of your birth.
Your Privacy Comes First
Birth is incredibly personal, and you should always feel in control of what is photographed.
Before your birth, we'll talk about the moments you're comfortable having documented, anything you'd rather keep private, and any boundaries that are important to you.
If something changes on the day, you can change your mind too.
Your consent is ongoing, your boundaries are respected, and your comfort will always matter more than getting the photograph.

FAQ
When should I book my birth photographer?
As early as possible is best, particularly if you have a specific due date or birth location in mind.
Because birth photography requires me to be on call, I only take a limited number of birth clients at a time.
Do I have to be comfortable being photographed during labour?
Absolutely not.
Before your birth, we'll discuss your boundaries and what you're comfortable having photographed.
You are always in control.
Will you photograph intimate moments?
Only with your prior consent and within the boundaries we've discussed.
Your privacy and comfort are incredibly important to me.
Will you use flash?
I prefer to work with natural or available light wherever possible, allowing me to remain unobtrusive and preserve the atmosphere of your birth.
Can you photograph my home birth?
Yes. Home births can be incredibly beautiful to document, and I'll work quietly within your space.
Can you photograph hospital births?
Yes, provided your hospital and care team allow photography.
I'll recommend discussing photography with your hospital or care provider ahead of time, as policies can vary.
Can you photograph in theatre/caesarean?
This depends entirely on the hospital and medical team. In many circumstances, photographers are not permitted into theatre for a caesarean birth.
We'll discuss your preferences and create a plan beforehand.
What happens if you can't attend my birth?
Birth photography requires a reliable backup plan.
I work with trusted backup photographers who can step in if an unexpected circumstance means I'm unable to attend.
Any backup photographer would be provided with the information needed to document your birth as closely as possible to the Golden Hour style.
You can view my cancellation & refund policy here.
How long do you stay after birth?
I'll stay long enough to capture the important early moments included within your birth photography coverage, including those precious first interactions between you and your baby.
Where do you provide birth photography?
I primarily provide birth photography within my standard birth service area around 30km from Yangebup, including selected hospitals, birth centres and home births.
If your planned birth location is further away, please get in touch so I can confirm whether I'm able to provide reliable on-call coverage. View my Service Areas & Fees here.
Can I book birth photography without doula support?
Absolutely.
Birth photography is available as a standalone service.
If you'd like both photography and doula support, you can also explore my combined packages.
How do I book?
To confirm your booking I require a signed contract and a 20% non-refundable deposit.
Whats your turn around time for images?
You will receive several sneak peek photos within 48 hours of your birth. You will have your final birth gallery within a maximum of 6 weeks, but my turn around time is usually closer to 2-3 weeks.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yep! As long as the deposit is paid to secure booking and full payment is made by 35 weeks you can pay in as many interest free instalments as you like. In special circumstances you can even continue to make payments after your baby is born. Although you wont receive your images until full payment is received.
What if I go into labour in the middle of the night, on a weekend, or on a public holiday?
I will be there. No matter the day or time, once you have booked with me I have committed to being on call for you 24/7 in the weeks surrounding your estimated due date. Things like peak hour or holiday traffic may mean it takes me longer than expected to reach you, but I will get there no matter what!
When do you get to the birth and how long do you stay?
If you’re birthing in hospital I generally meet you there shortly after you arrive. If you’re having an induction you should phone me when it starts, and ask me to head in once you are in active labour. If you’re birthing at home I’ll arrive once you’re surges/contractions are well established and you’re in active labour. Its important I don’t arrive too early as this can cause disruption and slow or stall your labour, and may mean that by the time you are birthing I am not working at my best. I will generally stay for 1-2 hours after your birth to capture your magical golden hour. If you’d like newborn or family photos another day, these can be accessed at 10% off.
