100% - Consent is everything in birth and my main priority is you feeling safe, empowered & respected. When we meet in preparation before the birth we will spend time talking about your boundaries and preferences. And this can change anytime. Just because you said yes to something in a consultation you can change your mind anytime. Same goes with your images, if you want your gallery to stay completely private and no images to be shared by myself that is 110% not a problem.

To prioritise you and your birth I will be on call for around 4 weeks. During that time I will make sure I am available anytime you call meaning I am limited to what work I can take on during this period. The Birth Story fee allows me ensure being at your birth is my first priority during that time.

I take on a limited number of births a year so my on call time doesn't overlap with other clients. If birth photography is something you're considering it's worth reaching out sooner rather than later to your favourite photographers as dates fill up fast. Even if you're not ready to book I'm always happy to have a chat to help you find out what might be best for you and your wonderful birth team.

I have an incredible associate based local to me with years of experience with birth and incredible sensitivity. With your permission, if for any reason I am unable to attend your birth my associate will be available. She will have access to all of your birth preferences and boundaries ahead of time. I trust her fully (so much so that she was at my birth)!

My package includes coverage from active labour until 2 hours after your little one arrives. I can leave earlier if you prefer. But I like to allow 2 hours to get those wonderful post birth moments.

With the right person in the room, having a birth photographer won't be distracting at all. Sensitivity is of the utmost importance in your birth space. I can testify to this after having a photographer at my own birth. I don't remember hearing the shutter or seeing a flash once.
If you are really nervous about the distraction I do have the option for a completely silent shutter on my camera.

I do! Video can be added on to any of my birth packages. You can choose between a highlight film style video with music, a long format video with real audio from the room or both. Videography add on from £300

Absolutely! In fact I prefer to meet my clients at least twice before I go on call at 38 weeks (and birth partners too if possible). My desire is for your birth space to be a place where you feel safe and free. And getting to know eachother before hand plays such a roll in this! And each time we meet I learn more about your hopes for your birth and how I can best serve you and your birth partner while also getting those photos you've been dreaming of.

Yes I do. If price is the main struggle holding you back, please make me aware of this as I want birth photography to be as accessible as possible to those who really want it. We may be able to plan a payment plan between us that can support you getting the right package for you.
