​" To be pregnant is to be vitally alive and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched – along with body – making pregnancy a time of transition, growth, and profound beginnings."


-Anne Christian Buchanan

Birth is a sacred, powerful and wholly consuming life experience. We discover new and exciting parts of ourselves, our mind and body stretched, ready to welcome new life and a new perception of ourselves. A journey worth documenting, a time to focus and bring the life you nourished for nine or so months Earth-side.You deserve to be celebrated and supported, your teamwork captured, your first moments together as a family. 

I know from my own experience that I have a very weak memory of my births and looking back on the images gives me the opportunity to reflect and remember the little things I'd forgotten; my husband's gentle touch, the colour my babies were when they were first born, the midwives and team who cared for us.

Working together.

As a birth doula and photographer, I'm driven to empower women and birthing people on their journeys. I'm passionate about embracing the power of people, celebrating the richness of individual experience, and recognising the wonder of childbirth. I’m also about having a dang-good time.

Kind Words and Love Letters

"I honestly think having you there was one of the best decisions. You were fantastic company and ended up being a positive part of the experience without trying. I want to have another baby, just so I can have you on my birth team again!"


—Steph & Nick

"The photos of the first few minutes of his life are simply perfect. I can't thank you enough. I feel so lucky to have met you and had you at Albert's birth. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to remember his first few hours."


— Tracey & Ian

“I couldn't imagine Hannah not being on my birth team and knew she'd work closely with us to make it perfect. She somehow managed to take the most incredible photos and video without it ever feeling intrusive or disruptive, in fact she made the experience better. Hannah was a rock to lean on during my labour, helping me stay calm, giving me strength and encouragement when I needed it but also giving us space as a couple to have private moments.”


— Reeny & Rik
