Melbourne Birth Photography & Film
raw and intimate moments documented for you to relive
Birth Photography & Film Melbourne
The birth of your baby will be unforgettable
Only, you do forget. All those hormones coursing through your body, and the many changes that take place over the following weeks weaken your hold on the memories of your birth.
Things grow foggy and the details of what is was like fade.
But birth photography preserves those details and enables you to relive those memories over and over.
I like to say that birth photography is a gift to your future self and the future selves of your family and new baby.
The Manasseh Family
"Em, you are an incredible talent. I don't even know where to start, except to say thank you.
Em captured both video and photos of the birth of our daughter, and also newborn photos of our family in the very early days of us becoming parents. The moments she captured are raw, tender and beautiful. During such an intimate, hazy time, it now feels so special to have these moments now forever frozen in time. I am so glad we did this - we will treasure these memories forever! Words feel small.
So hugely grateful for you and your art. I hope we can have you capture our entire family in years to come! xx"

Hey
I'm Em!
I work with mums and mums-to-be to document this life changing moment!
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 all 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.
I wish I had some photos of that day. Photos that helped me remember just how fierce and powerful I felt in those moments. Photos that captured the explosion of love as I held my babies for the first time. Photos that captured the look on my husband's face as he witnessed my strength.
I'd love to help capture these moments for you!
