BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY

Birth photography across London. Documentary, unobtrusive, deeply respectful of the family in front of me.

The quietest person in the room.

ABOUT THESE SESSIONS

I've been photographing newborns for eighteen years. Birth photography came later — slowly, quietly, by request from families who wanted me there for the first hour, not the first week.

I work without flash. Without direction. Without making myself present. The goal is that you forget I'm in the room — and remember, years later, exactly what your partner's hand looked like resting on yours at 4am.


WHAT I PHOTOGRAPH

Labour at home, in hospital, or at a birth centre. The first cry. The first time your older child meets the baby. The midwife's hands. The look on your face when it's over. Quiet, ordinary, holy details that disappear from memory within weeks.

I don't photograph anything graphic. The work is about the people, not the procedure.

A woman and a child lying on a hospital bed, hugging each other.
A newborn baby held by a person wearing medical scrubs in a hospital setting, appears to be crying or distressed, with an umbilical cord still attached.

HOW IT WORKS

Booking opens around 30 weeks of pregnancy. From 38 weeks I'm on call for you — phone next to the bed, bag packed, ready to come whenever labour begins. I stay through delivery and the first hour after, when everything is still quiet and new.

Within two weeks you'll receive a private gallery of around 60 hand-finished images, in colour and black and white.
