I have always been passionate about birth since giving birth to our two beautiful children, both amazing and very different labours and births. It’s the emotions, the journey you go on to meet this little person, the feelings, the hard times, the fun times, and every moment in between. My other passion is photography, documenting life, love, light….just a moment in time, captured and remembered.

 

 Seeing my first birth photography images not too long ago, I knew this was it for me – it combined two of my passions, this is what I wanted to do, so I did it. The first birth I photographed was the most incredible day of my career thus far. What a privilege to be there when another life entered this world…wow!! Tears all round, I felt like the luckiest person on earth and to capture that journey, those moments perhaps forgotten, felt but not seen and those moments when you first set eyes on your new baby, the first touch, the first breath, those raw, unfiltered, emotions….it was the most wonderful gift I could give someone - having those moments to keep forever.

 

I would love the opportunity to chat with you more about photographing your journey, bringing your little person into the world. Your birth is your unique experience, It is one of the most life changing moments in your life and like other special occasions in our life that we photograph, the birth of your baby is one of the most special.

Testimonials

​

''Rebecca is subtle in her presence yet caring, offering support if wanted and produces wonderful images for you to treasure forever. It was nice to have someone else to chat to during moments of calm, wasn't intrusive and we didn't notice the camera. When we received the photos, we were both very emotional. As you are the one going through the birth you don't get to see it from the outside. So on seeing the photos you can see the emotions in faces, the moments of calm between contractions, how your baby looked and the love and relief. We get to have those wonderful emotions daily and can look at the special moments captured.  I would absolutely recommend having your birth photographed It's a beautiful experience and I loved having Rebecca there to share it with us and capture it too''.

​

"It was relaxing and positive, and it passed the time quickly having someone else there to chat too. It's quite incredible to be able to relive the moments through the images".
