Service introduction

I am a Doula + International Multi-Award Winning Photographer + Videographer. Trained in the safe handling of newborns with The Academy of Newborn Photography. I am pro choice + love working with all types of families. I consider myself a little 'woo woo' but also love western medicine as I know they both have their place. I am passionate about everything birth related and find an incredible amount of Joy following and capturing a number of clients from family life, pregnancy to newborn and beyond. For the last 10 years my Husband I have been through a long journey with IVF, we have a 15 year old daughter + live on acreage with our beloved animals. I'm crazy about anything "ooodle" related. I take on a small selected number of clients per month to ensure I am able to give you the best experience possible. If you choose to work with me this is an experience that goes above and beyond most other offerings on the market. Specialising in supporting/capturing your family or journey into Parenthood.
