*Client Review*

“Dearest Taryn,
What an incredible experience you have helped myself, Janusz and Tom achieve in our birthing journey. From the moment we met it has been so wonderful!

Your continuous care and assistance at home and in the hospital helped us stay calm and collected. The additional use of your equipment to help make the last stage of my pregnancy and birth comfortable made such a difference.

Your assistance in the delivery room was perfect, you gave both Tom and I all the assurance and support we could have hoped for, giving us all the confidence we needed to have a beautiful birth. The photos you took for us during our birth and when we arrived home are also so powerful and an incredible keepsake, thank you for capturing all those precious moments for us and ensuring those memories stay alive in our hearts and mind. You truly have a good eye and timing for capturing all the important things.
We are so pleased to have had you as our doula and birthing photographer. We look forward to having you as our doula again for when the next little one comes!"

-Kerry, Tom & Baby Janusz

Birth photography is often misunderstood as something graphic or posed pics for social media, but it’s not.

It’s about the quiet in-between moments, the strength in the room, and the first time you meet your baby.

Some of these images may never be shared at all, and that’s what makes them so meaningful.

They’re not just birth photos.
They’re the first photographs of your family, and a way to remember how everything changed.

The tiniest hands leave the biggest mark on our hearts

Newborn Lifestyle Session with baby Jude, isn't he just beautiful 🤎 🧸
I also had the immense privilege of supporting my cuz in welcoming her first baby, her son into the world.

Witnessing his birth, the strength of a new mom and a family being born is always a privilege but this one was even more special because it was my baby cousin, my first baby's first playmate and babysitter, she'd spend weekends and school holidays with us as a child and she loved my babies as her little siblings, played with them and babysat them eventually. So this was such a sweet moment to be there when she had her own baby, and watching her be a mother to him is as sweet as it can be.

Welcome to the family baby Jude, we love you so much already.

Have you ever heard someone say they were in labour for three days or even weeks? They may have been experiencing Prodromal Labour.

Prodromal labour is often called "practice or false labour," but if you've experienced it, you'll know there's nothing imaginary about it.

These contractions can be regular, intense, and sometimes last for hours or even days before active labour begins. It can leave you feeling tired, frustrated, and wondering when things will finally progress.

The important thing to remember is that prodromal labour is not a sign that your body is failing or doing something wrong. Often, it is part of the preparation process as your body and baby get ready for birth.

If you're experiencing prodromal labour, focus on rest, hydration, nourishment, and support. And remember, you don't have to navigate it alone.

One thing we don't talk about enough is the importance of the early stages of labour. Whether you're experiencing prodromal labour or the beginning of true labour, knowing how to care for yourself, conserve your energy, and create a calm environment can make a significant difference.

Keep an eye out for our next post, where we'll share practical ways to prepare for and navigate early labour.
