Birth photography: capturing the most intense time of your life.

Unobtrusively capturing your amazing powerful body as you bring your miracle baby into the world, their first breaths, and the tearful, joyful, heart-splitting moments when you hold them for the first time.

Birth photography from your labour to after the birth

 Indeed, it’s all about that miracle of a tiny baby—surprisingly big at the moment of birth. From their funny faces to the recognition of your scent, along with daddy’s and siblings’ voices. Remember their endlessly changing expressions, the way they roll their eyes, crawl up to you, adjusting to this new world. Observe how he or she transforms in just 2 hours! (Same baby as in the top photo). And that’s the beauty of birth photography. It’s not just about capturing the most precious moment of your life but also those miraculous first hours of your baby’s life.

Telling your love story through birth photos

Your partner is there and  they hurt with you, honest. But they won’t say it. They won’t show their tears, their fear, their powerlessness, and also their pride and joy when baby arrives. Because “it’s not about them”. The photos will show you afterwards how much they love you, capture all the expressions and details and give you the full story.

Your brand new baby

Indeed, it’s all about that miracle of a tiny baby—surprisingly big at the moment of birth. From their funny faces to the recognition of your scent, along with daddy’s and siblings’ voices. I capture their endlessly changing expressions, the way they roll their eyes, crawl up to you, adjusting to this new world so you remember it all.  See how he or she transforms in just 2 hours! (Same baby as in the top photo). Birth photography is not just about capturing the most incredible moment of your life but also those miraculous first hours of your baby’s life.

Timings

Since babies arrive on their own schedule and might need assistance in hospitals, it’s impossible for anyone to guarantee their presence at every birth—I’ve seen even midwives miss one.

However, I can promise to be on call 24/7 for up to 5 weeks, doing my best to arrive on time. I’ll be there from active contractions through to two hours after the birth. Should there be a time when I can’t be available, I’ll make sure to let you know.

Prices are bespoke, please let me know when we could have a chat. If I can’t make it, you will be reimbursed.

What My Clients Say

"From initial enquiry, Alix was friendly, welcoming and professional. I booked Alix for Birth Photography to capture the moment when I welcomed our daughter into the world. Alix didn’t interfere and remained focused in taking some beautiful photographs that I will treasure forever of our new baby and two other sons. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her photography skills and services for family shoots in the future."

– Amy Powell – Derby

"Alix was the photographer I chose to capture the birth of my second child at home. I hardly knew she was there during the birth, she was so natural, flexible, helpful and supportive. She made me feel at ease and the photos are outstanding. She’s a ray of light, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again or have her around for dinner."

– Jessica Creig
