narrating a birth

I photograph home & hospital births.

I am a registered SABPA photographer, so am licensed to document births in hospital settings.

No matter how your birth unfolds,

at home or in a clinical environment,

I will to be by your side.

I believe that birth should be recorded as a way to give power back to the woman. At a time when your birth story is acutely monitored by others, choosing to tell your story through the feminine gaze enables you to relive your birth and gift the story to your child in a tangible way.

In years to come, these images will unlock a rite of passage and enable you to take charge of your narrative.

“It's in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.”

— Maya Angelou, “Phenomenal Woman”
