Invite me to be a part of your birth team as your birth photographer and I’ll capture the real, raw beauty and emotion of your birth story, this once in a lifetime event.

I’ll quietly work around you, so as not to disturb your birth space. I’ll focus on documenting the atmosphere, the moments of support and connection your partner and your birth team give you, the emotions, the details, the birth itself and all those incredible moments of meeting your baby for the first time.

Birth photography will preserve these first moments together as a family and allow you to walk away with a tangible visual story of this powerful, life changing day.

I’m based in Flemington and available for birth photography at your home or hospital in inner city Melbourne.

“We asked Leah to photograph the birth of our son earlier this year. From her initial phone consultation to her later email communication, Leah was gentle, supportive and receptive to my needs and anxieties. On the day itself, Leah attended the birth and was a quiet and unobtrusive presence in the room. She was able to work in the dim lighting of the hospital suite. Afterwards, she stayed at our invitation to chat for a while. The photographs themselves are very beautiful. They’re journalistic, clean and a little raw. It was a moving experience to see them for the first time. Birth photography seemed, before we did it, a strange modern indulgence. Now, I can’t imagine letting such a significant moment go undocumented. I strongly recommend inviting Leah to capture the birth of your child.”    – Sarah, first time mum 

“Thank you thank you Leah! What a privilege to have you document one of the most raw and powerful moments of my life. These photographs will forever transport me back to when our son arrived and the elation we felt. If you are considering birth photography and are yet to be convinced, Leah is the photographer you need. It is true, it is an intimate space and inviting someone to share that is a hard decision to make. But Leah makes anyone feel at ease. Things were moving quickly with my birth and I truly did not even know she had entered the birthing space. I was initially sad that I thought she hadn’t made it and my partner was like, “No Leah is over there!” The photographs are empowering, real, love filled images that I will absolutely treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you“ – Millie, mum of two

“I can't recommend Leah enough. Since the day we met each other, I knew that she would be just perfect to photograph the birth of our dear daughter. On the big day I  could feel Leah's calm and gentle presence, she was the perfect addition to my birth team. The result was the most beautiful memories. I have seen them so many times, and I still cry every time! “ - Jaque, mum of two

"Leah participated at the birth of our second baby, Nils. I had planned for a home birth and as I was kneeling on the floor with my forearms on the bed ready to push, Leah entered. I barely noticed her as her presence was completely aligned with the calm vibe in the room. In the most beautiful and non disturbing way, Leah captured the moment right before he was born, as he was coming out and the sweet, quiet, time post birth. I received the photos just a week or so later and it was the most incredible gift to receive. We didn't have any other photos from the birth so getting to see it for the very first time was special. Whatever I do, I will make sure to keep those photos with me forever. For anyone thinking about hiring Leah for your birth, don't hesitate - she's the best." - Niki
