BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY IN BERKSHIRE AND SURREY
“YOU WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH WHAT?”
I cover Birth Photography in Berkshire and Surrey.
You might have instantly dismissed the idea of birth photography and I don’t necessarily blame you. It can feel like an odd concept and is a relatively new idea here in the UK. But hear me out: it’s a gorgeous chapter in your story that you will definitely want to capture.
Here’s us a long time ago!
This is why you want to freeze that moment in time. This is what Oxytocin looks like.
Let’s see if I can cover your area

A day to remember
The oxytocin and endorphins pumping through your body the day you give birth can have something of an obliterating effect. The same chemicals that make mothers forget about the challenge of childbirth (and merrily sign up for second and third pregnancies) can rob you of some of the memories you’d actually like to hold on to. The power and strength displayed during childbirth coupled with the sheer grit and determination I see in my clients is simply breath-taking. If you arrange to have an experienced birth photographer like me present, you can have these extraordinary elements of your birth captured in all their glory.
Incredible you
Giving birth is glorious. Sure, it can be painful and strange (by the way if you’re worried about the pain, check out my hypnobirthing course!), but don’t forget that it’s a culmination of the hardest nine months’ work your body will ever do and that is a marvellous, incredible thing. Your body is amazing and that should be celebrated with beautiful, thoughtfully conducted photography.
The moment your whole world changed
Let’s not forget the birth partners! Yes, you might be doing all the heavy lifting but the person holding the hand, encouraging the breathing and keeping everything calm is working pretty hard too. Their lives are about to change forever too, and that moment when men become fathers, or women become mothers, is both beautiful and fleeting. Trust me, I’ve seen some of the toughest cookies crumble at the sight of their new son or daughter arriving into the world!
In good hands
Many parents-to-be fear that birth photography will be intrusive, or even a little bit weird. I promise a subtle, thoughtful experience that will not in any way hamper your birth or mindset. I’m a qualified doula and hypnobirthing expert so I know how important it is to stay centred, confident and positive during childbirth. These qualifications make me the ideal photographer to capture your baby’s first ever moments on the planet.
