Waikato Birth photographer

Birth is raw, powerful, and fleeting. It is a story that deserves to be remembered with honesty, tenderness, and respect. I am now offering a very limited number of birth photography sessions for families who want their journey into parenthood documented in a quiet, unobtrusive, and deeply meaningful way.


I am an approved photographer for C Section Photography at Waikato Hospital.

Book your session

This is more than photography, it is the quiet strength in your breath, the steady support of your partner, the first time you meet your baby. These moments pass in a blur, but they deserve to be held onto forever.

What’s Included

 

What’s Included in Your Birth Package:

  • On-call availability from 38 weeks until your baby arrives
  • Continuous coverage during active labour, birth, and the first moments after
  • A calm, respectful presence, documenting without interference
  • Carefully edited gallery of high-resolution images
  • Private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing

To continue telling your family’s story beyond birth, I offer a special bundle option for clients who book birth photography. When you book a birth session, you will receive a $200 credit to use toward any of the following sessions:

  • Maternity
  • Fresh 48 (captured within the first 48 hours after birth)
  • Newborn session

This allows you to document your journey from anticipation to those first quiet, love-filled days with your baby.

This credit is flexible and can be applied to one session of your choice, creating a seamless and meaningful storytelling experience across this transformative time.

Pricing


My Birth photography package is

$1900


Because of the unpredictable nature of birth, I only take on a very small number of clients each month to ensure I can fully commit to being there for you.

A non-refundable retainer of $500 secures your due date, with the balance due by 36 weeks.
