Birth Photography
Birth and Maternity Photography in Melbourne I'm passionate about capturing moments of bliss, joy, and love, whether it's through natural and meaningful maternity shoots, birth story documentation, delightful newborn details, family lifestyle photography, or even the occasional cheeky wedding.
My goal is to honor and celebrate your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum journey through storytelling imagery that will allow you to relive those special moments for years to come.
Childbirth Classes
Childbirth Education and Classes Childbirth education, also known as antenatal education, aims to achieve various goals to prepare expectant parents for birth and beyond. These goals can include increasing self-confidence, preparing for childbirth, helping partners support the birthing person, and preparing for parenting and breastfeeding.
"A Doula is a woman who gives support, help, and advice to another woman during pregnancy and the birth of her child and were traditionally servants that were skilled in attending women in labour. Modern day doulas are often mothers themselves, who offer continuous physical and emotional support to a pregnant woman and her family throughout gestation and the birth of the baby. Doulas see the value in having continuous, one on one support and connection during this time and the difference it can make to the birthing mother’s experience and outcome.”

ACM BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2018 | BIRTH & LABOUR CATEGORY
1ST PLACE
This image is of two beautiful men becoming fathers. One selfless woman giving the ultimate gift of life through altruistic surrogacy and one darling baby girl, who is loved so fiercely by so many.
Capturing this moment has meant the world to me. This image symbolises the change I wish to see in the world; where a family is possible for everyone, selfless giving is the highest achievement there is, and love has no boundaries or judgement.
For this image to be awarded 1st place in the labour & birth category of the 2018 ACM Birth Photography Awards, it means that others recognise this too.
“Prepare for our birth & parenting journey”
“It's hard to find the words to sum up how wonderful our experience of having Bree as our doula & birth photographer was. From our first inquiry, she was thorough, organised and professional, and took the time to get to know us as individuals with warmth & compassion. She helped us prepare for our birth & parenting journey with practical skills, wisdom & genuine care; the time just flew by at every meeting. Even as a midwife myself, I learned so much from Bree - she's incredibly knowledgeable & experienced in all the nuances of birth & supporting pregnant parents”.... Read more
