Birth Photography
Documenting Your Birth Story: A Journey of Empowerment
Hello, future friend.
I’m Natalia—a photographer, a midwife, and a mother. My passion lies in documenting the raw, transformative journey of pregnancy and birth, an event I believe is one of the most empowering moments in a woman’s life.
Birth is a beautiful, unpredictable path; babies often have their own timing and plans. Whether your journey leads you to a home birth, a birth center, or a labor ward, I will be there to capture the quiet strength of your labor and the first breath of your family’s new chapter.
The Midwife’s Perspective
Choosing a photographer who is also a qualified midwife offers a unique level of comfort and insight. Having navigated the stages of labor professionally for years, and personally as a mother of two who has experienced both a natural birth and an emergency cesarean, I understand the rhythm of your body and the emotions you are feeling.
My approach is photojournalistic and unobtrusive. I specialize in timeless black and white imagery that focuses on "undistracted raw emotions," allowing the story of your labor, birth, and postpartum period to unfold naturally. I know exactly when to step back and when to capture those fleeting, precious moments—the first skin-to-skin contact, the cutting of the cord, and the overwhelming joy of your family becoming complete.
