They say, a picture’s worth a 1000 WORDS!

This pregnancy, labour, birth and parenting journey is WILD! Ever changing, challenging, joyful, exhausting and uniquely yours. In the moment we think we’ll never forget, but I’m here to tell you how easily it starts to fade!

Have you thought about having this extraordinary journey captured by a professional photographer? You may have heard of Maternity and Newborn photo sessions, but did you know there are also Labour and Birth Photographers?

I've taken many photos on my phone or with a client's phone or camera, and while special, my photos pale compared to having a professional do the job! I'm not sure my photos would be worth a 1000 words.

Knowing which moments and from what angle to capture is a true skill. And lighting?! Lighting at births is usually so dim that the average person only catches blurred and fuzzy memories.

The bonus to having a professions photographer at your birth is that they'll get photos with your whole team!

Catherine Cachia

Life Style | Labour & Birth

“Every birth is a miracle. It brings to the surface some of the most intense and transformative emotions we may ever feel. I believe there’s beauty in it all: the joy, connection and wonder but also the pain and struggle, because these are all parts of being human. Documenting this once-in-a-lifetime experience is a gift you give yourself, your child and your family for generations to come.”

HEATHER BAYS

Life Style | Labour & Birth

“I see the world through light and connections. I love real genuine moments. That's why I am a lifestyle photographer. And that's why my sessions are unscripted. They are photographs of real moments in time. They are taken out of the studio and in to your world which gives them a more editorial portrait feel on a more personal level. Capturing the right moment brings a photograph to life and radiates the emotion to the viewers.”

LAURA ROWE

“Soulful and Intentional Imagery - There are defining moments unfolding in our days that weave the fabric of our lifetime. Through honest and artistic imagery, I’ll help you to revisit them time and time again.”
