the birth of Olivia Pearl

Audra’s calm approach to labour was both admirable and inspiring; labouring gracefully through the night, Olivia Pearl was welcomed into the world at 07:22 on Friday 2nd December 2011.

I feel blessed to have been there to document all the special moments on the day she was born. These are images that make my heart smile :)

Audra and Pascal, thank you so very much for allowing me to share the birth story of your gorgeous baby girl, Olivia Pearl. Much love to you all xx

I’d also like to mention a couple more thank you’s, firstly to doula Nicola Philbin who is pictured throughout the slideshow, she was a wonderful support to Audra and Pascal during their journey of labour. A note of thanks also to the medical staff for the photographs taken in the Operating Room during Audra’s c-section.

For more information or to enquire about having your own birth experience photographed, please contact me.

    Beautiful – so calm and perfect – they’re real treasured images. And with a very small world connection I met Nicola the doula a few years ago in the UAE!
