The birth of your precious baby is one of the most important days of your life. Your birth story deserves to be captured and celebrated, every second of every moment.

Birth photography will document your strength, power and unconditional love within your family.

However you plan to have your birth, whether it’s at home, in the hospital, or even an unexpected variation of what you anticipated, I’ll be there with you to support and capture your experience.

It’s not just about the birth itself, it’s about the journey, reactions and emotions of welcoming your child into this world. Those first miraculous moments when you meet your precious baby for the first time.

Imagine having a keepsake that you can look back on for years to come and be reminded of every single moment and emotion you experienced as a family. It’s a once in a lifetime experience, and no birth is ever the same. It doesn’t matter how many babies you have had, or if this is your first; you are a new mother every time.

I shoot your birth experience as it unfolds, in an unobtrusive and discrete photojournalistic style, blending in so you’ll hardly know I’m there.

Are you wondering where I’m allowed to photograph? I am available to photograph births in Christchurch at your home, Christchurch Women’s Hospital and other surrounding birthing units such as St George’s, Lincoln Maternity, and Rangiora Maternity.

“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.” – Marcie Macari
