Calling all expecting mums in Melbourne
Those fierce, raw moments as your work harder than ever to bring your baby into the world. That very first moment you see your baby, hold them, feel their tiny little bodies against your own. Those memories, despite their gravity, fade too soon.
I’d love to help you preserve those memories with professional photography of your birth.
What if…
– you could relive the beauty of your birth, without worrying about the details fading
– enjoy professional photos that capture those moments beautifully and artistically
– not have to worry about making sure your partner has their phone out to take snaps, and just enjoy the moment
Hi there, I’m Emily,
and I offer birth photography for mums just like you!
Giving birth can be one of the most empowering and life defining moments you will ever experience. It was for me. And although I remember snapshots from the birth of my two daughters, everything is pretty foggy and vague now. I know how important memories are, they’re a big part of what shapes us. But when you have a those birth hormones racing through your body your mind is not great at holding onto the details.
When I gave birth to my eldest daughter I didn’t even know birth photography was a thing. All I have are a couple of iphone snaps my husband took a few minutes after my baby girl arrived. They’re fine, but they don’t tell the story of how it happened, and they certainly don’t show the feelings that were in the room that day.
Then when my youngest was born I had heard about birth photography, but never got around to booking someone. I instead asked my mum to snap a couple of shots since she was going to be there anyway. Poor mum, who is not a camera person, got handed a camera in manual mode and had no idea, so the photos she snapped were almost completely washed out.
I wish I had some photos of those days. Photos that helped me remember just how fierce and powerful I felt in those moments. The explosion of love as I held my babies for the first time. The look on my husband’s face as he witnessed my strength.
I would love to help you capture these moments, so you can relive them on the days were you might forget just how powerful you are.

Emily was SO lovely, I highly, highly recommend! She put me at ease and made me feel comfortable (I am *really* uncomfortable having my photo taken!) and the photos came out just beautiful. Would absolutely not hesitate to book with Emily again, she is an exceptional photographer!

We loved our experience with Chapter and Song Photography. Emily’s relaxed, creative and playful approach enabled us to feel comfortable and enjoy being photographed. Our three little children’s unique personalities were beautifully captured. We love the end results and will treasure these gorgeous photos.

What does it mean to be a birth photography model?
What is a model call?
A model call is a photography term that refers to a client receiving a discounted session, in exchange for signing a model release that allows their images to be shared by the photographer on their website and social media in order to advertise their services.
In this case that means you’d be asked to sign a model release and in exchange you’d receive your birth photography package at over 50% off.
Will you share photos with nudity?
I love all aspects of birth, that includes the rawness of those moment where baby emerges but also those quiet moments of awe that follow. If you would specifically like only discreet photos captured and shared I’m, of course, more than happy to accommodate that. We will discuss your preferences prior to the birth, and a discreet version of the model release is available.
