Are you on the fence about hiring a birth photographer?

Look, I get it. Birth photography is not for everyone, but let me tell you the most common thing I hear from mums:

"I wish I took more photos... or had better photos of my birth!"

I feel that deeply because I have been there too.

So much of that day slips through our fingers, the details fade but the right photos can bring those memories flooding back. Capturing the strength, emotions and all the details you may of missed whilst in your birth bubble. The way your partner held your hand to the moment your baby took their first breath, these are the moments you want to remember forever.

Here are 5 reasons to hire a birth photographer from someone who truly wishes they have done the same.

Reason 1: Being in the moment

By hiring me to attend your birth means you and your birth partner are able to be in the moment and focus on each other. Instead of your partner trying to juggle being emotionally present and taking photos having me there takes that pressure away. I always work quietly and instinctively to respect your birth environment whilst documenting one of the most special days of your life.

Reason 2: This birth only happens once

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 between you and your birth partner all of the emotions that come with your birth experience, so you'll never have to rely solely on your memory to relive it.

Reason 3: Professional quality

As a professional birth photographer who has attended births on the Fylde coast I know how to work around your birth space respectfully. Birth happens in unpredictable lighting often with fast-moving moments and that’s where a birth photographer makes all the difference. While phones are fantastic for every day photos, birth is not an every day moment. With professional equipment, experience and an artistic eye, I create images that are high quality that tell your story of your baby's arrival with clarity, strength and depth.

Reason 4: Photos that tell the whole story

Birth is made up of countless powerful moments. Some big and unforgettable, others quiet and easily missed. From the intensity of each surge, to the moment you meet your baby, to the loving support of your partner, I’m there to document it all. I aim to capture every emotion and detail, even the ones you may not notice whilst in your birth zone.

Many clients tell me that seeing their photos and film after the birth helped them fully process the experience. It’s more than just memories, it’s a way to look back, understand, and appreciate the story from a new perspective. Whether it's a fleeting look, a touch, or a tear, these preserved moments help you reflect on your strength and the beauty of you in your birth journey. It's all about capturing images that showcase the strength and softness of the mother baby dyad, I'm so grateful to be able to witness these moments.

Reason 5: You'll forget

It’s easy to believe you’ll remember every moment from the day you give birth, but the truth is, much of it will blur with time. Birth is wild, powerful, intimate and one of the most important times in your life. I pride myself on capturing the connection of families, the little details and all of the in between moments, the memories can fade faster than you may expect. Your birth photos allow you to revisit that life-changing day with clarity and emotion. They don’t just preserve what happened, they bring you back to how it felt. While memories may fade, your photos will remain, a lasting reminder of your strength, your love, and the beginning of a new chapter. Heirlooms you will treasure for decades to come. And that? Makes it worth hiring a photographer.
