Victoria
There is nothing quite like the intimacy between a mother and child, how their bodies are so familiar and close. Warning: hold onto your ovaries when you look at this shoot.
Baby Edith
Making a baby isn't always easy, sometimes it's devastating and then while you're learning how to function through the devastation a miracle happens. Edith.
Mem
Mem has the hardest breastfeeding journey I've ever heard...a year on and she's still in pain every time she feeds.
Baby Alessia
I love going into people's homes during their babies first few weeks of life. Watching people navigate this whole new world of parenting and loving their new baby more than they could have imagined.
Shalini
Shalini is a freaking goddess breastfeeding two kids, all this hard work needed to remembered and commemorated.
Ebony & Parker
Ebony was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed last year and I remember being a total creeper and watching her breastfeed tiny newborn Parker. I apologised at the time and explained how I was feeling a little nostalgic because I'd just weaned my daughter.
Curnow Family
I've been photographing this lovely little family for years, before Huck even existed.
Peters Family
We had a good laugh because last time I photographed Leigh & Graham it was in their home and Flynn was a newborn and the house was tidy. This time round their life and their house isn't quiet so neat with baby Lena added to the mix...that's why they went for a studio shoot. Toddlers + newborns = crazy times.
Defranciscis Family
Kelvin & Libby visited me in the studio with their lovely daughter Nina, isn't she the sweetest? ❤️
Alana & Huck
These first months when your baby is still connected to your body, when they almost feel like another limb...a limb that cuddles and wakes you up in the night when they're hungry. This time slips past so quickly.
Isabelle Newborn
I met Ellisa a few months back when I did her maternity shoot, so I was very excited to come and photograph her new lovely baby Isabelle ❤
Baby Louis
Megan, Ben and Louis were all feeling fresh when I arrived for their shoot because Louis had slept for four full hours the night before! Once you have children you celebrate the little things ❤️
August’s Birth
When Katie & Jez, the amazing photography duo behind Heartstory, asked me to take their birth photos I was totally flattered and more than a little bit nervous!
Veikkanen Family
Adam and Fiona not only have five beautiful children, but they also are the geniuses behind the Polo Restaurant...yep they're total overachievers.
Margot 6 Months
So when Walt turned 6 months old I stuck him on our bed and took a few snaps, not to play favourites I did the same thing with Margot. (Walt & Caleb also make an appearance in this shoot)
My Birth Story (number two)
If you read my last birth story you would know that I had three false starts with my labour and so going into this one I thought 'my body had done this before, it knows what it's doing...when my labour starts it will be starting for real'. Boy was I wrong.
