I put together a short film of what a birth session actually looks like.

The real thing — the waiting, the shift in the room, the first breath, the faces of the people who have been holding theirs.

Nobody looks at a family photo and thinks: I wish they had stood still more.

The best ones are always the chaos. The sprint toward the camera, the accidental pile-on, the moment someone said something that made everyone lose it.

I don't direct those. I just stay close enough to catch them.

There is a moment — usually just after — where the room holds its breath.

Everything that was happening stops. And what remains is just this: a person who wasn't here before, and the ones who have been waiting.

I get to witness that. Every time, it changes me a little.

Birth photography is where my work began, and it is still where I feel most at home.

Family sessions with me are not about posing.

They're about your kids running too fast, someone laughing at the wrong moment, the way you reach for each other without thinking.

Those are the images you'll still love in twenty years. Not the ones where everyone stood still.

A family film is not a highlight reel.

It is the ordinary Tuesday. The ritual you have done a thousand times. The laughter that comes out of nowhere.

Years from now, none of that will feel ordinary at all.

I became a birth photographer because I know what it means to have a day change everything.

That understanding shapes how I work. I do not arrive as a stranger with a camera. I arrive as someone who knows that what is happening in that room matters.

Your family will not always look like this.

The ages. The small habits. The way your child reaches for your hand without thinking. The way your teen resists all memories.

Family photography is about preserving the version of you that exists right now — before it changes.

Winter sessions are open. Send me a message to get started.

There is a moment just before a baby arrives where everything goes still.

I have stood in that stillness more times than I can count. It moves me every time.

Birth is not just a medical event. It is the most profound threshold a person can cross — and it deserves to be remembered.

Enquiries for birth coverage welcome.
