Birth Photography in Lancashire
The moment your baby is born is one you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Mothers look back on their memories and images and feel every emotion, the moment everything changes forever.
As a mother of two and experienced birth photographer I pride myself on respecting your birth space whilst documenting the moments that matter. The way your partner looks at you, the strength you carry, the overwhelming love you feel as your baby is placed on your chest for the first time.

4 reasons why you should hire a birth photographer
Professional Quality
Most people say they wish they had more photos or better quality photos. My experience in birth allows me to work quietly and instinctively in your birth space whilst capturing the real raw emotion in birth.
Being in the moment
By hiring me to attend your birth means you and your birth parter are able to be in the moment during birth. Instead of your partner trying to juggle being emotionally present and taking photos having me there takes that pressure away.
Tells your story
From every surge, the moment you meet your baby, the support of your partner and all of the smallest details. I aim to document every emotion and capture moments that you may of forgotten whilst in your sacred space. Its a beautiful experience to be able to look back on that is unique to you.
You only experience this birth one time
It's a common thing to hear that people regret not taking photos of their birth. This birth only happens once, there are no second takes or do-overs of this special day. by inviting me into your birth space I will capture the real, authentic connection and strength of your birth.
FAQ
Will you be available when I give birth?
I am on call from 38 weeks until your baby is born. I am available 24/7 and will come to your birth place of choice when birth begins.
What’s the best time to book with you?
My birthing clients usually book 3 months in advance as I only offer one space per month based on EDD. I do accept last minute bookings subject to availability.
What areas do you cover?
I am based in Lytham, Lancashire and cover: Lytham, Lytham St.Annes, Blackpool and the surrounding areas. If you wish to birth in hospital I can attend either Blackpool Victoria hospital or Royal Preston hospital. I am willing to travel if you do not live in this catchment area however this will incur additional travel expenses.
Do you offer payment plans?
I do offer payment plans, get in touch and we can organise instalments that suit you. The full balance is due when you reach 34 weeks.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No you do not have to pay the full amount upfront. A non refundable deposit of £100 is requested upon booking to secure your slot. The remaining balance is due when you reach 34 weeks gestation.
Do you support all births?
Yes, I support home birth, birth centre birth & hospital birth. I believe that every birth deserves to be documented.
What happens if my birth doesn't go to plan?
If you need an unplanned transfer to hospital I will follow you in my own car. It is absolutely possible to capture beautiful images of a hospital birth. If you have an unplanned c-section I will come into theatre and document your birthing story as planned. If for whatever reason I am not permitted to enter I will give your birth partner my camera and rejoin you again once possible.
When will I receive my images?
My turnaround time for your birth story is 4 weeks. I will provide a sneak peek as soon as possible, I know how exciting it is to look at these images!
Can you document a planned c-section?
Absolutely! This is something we will discuss in our consultation if you intend to have a planned c-section. It is important to note that it is of the discretion of the hospital whether I am permitted into theatre. If for whatever reason I am unable to come into theatre I will take photos before and I will give my camera to your birth partner and join you afterwards to document your newborn bubble.
