Mama Cara’s birth photography, birth film, maternity, newborn and family photography

During your birthing journey you and your partner will want to fully immerse yourselves in the wonder of birth. Birth is such a wonderfully overwhelming experience. It requires all of your focus and it is often difficult to remember all the beautiful details afterwards.

Having this very special time documented in still shots or on film will provide an opportunity to relive one of the most important times of your life. You will see the beautiful moments that would otherwise have been lost forever. As a professional birth photographer I can capture memories of your birthing story in the most sensitive and relaxed manner. I can photograph or film your journey wherever, whenever and however you chose to labour and birth. I use equipment specifically for low-light environments and aim to be unnoticeable. I can take photos with virtually no light, no flash (unless desired) and using my mirrorless camera, there is no “click”. The service provided is adapted to suit each families’ unique circumstances and wishes and can range from pregnancy photography, birth photography or film to deluxe packages including doula support.

Contact me to arrange a time for a free no-obligation meeting. I look forward to hearing about how I can ensure that your pregnancy, birthing and mothering story and all of the peaceful, positive and emotionally powerful moments are captured to create everlasting memories.

Steve and I were fortunate to have Cara come and photograph the incredible homebirth of our beautiful baby girl... We felt that Cara’s lovely soft and caring nature came through into her professional work... We hardly knew that Cara was in the room... Cara was able to capture stunning ‘in the moment’ photos... We couldn’t recommend Cara more as a fabulous birth photographer dedicated to her work in creating lasting memories.
