The birth of Leila Mae – first born to Bianca & Lee

A birth by torchlight in the bathroom of Birth suite no.1, at Goulburn Valley Health is how Leila Mae was born. She is the first born to Bianca and Lee.

I invite you to have a look at  these photos but even more so I encourage you  to watch the multi- media presentation, it is not just images, but rather a story, turn up your speakers, sit back and enjoy the journey. I promise you, you will hear and see something very special.

The birth of Leila Mae, was the very first birth I had photographed. It was such a privilege to share in such an amazing journey. Witnessing the birth of Leila Mae was one of the most incredible experiences of my life and I thank Bianca and Lee very much for inviting me to be present and document this event for them.

This is shot over the space of three months. The first shoot at home was about five weeks before the birth, the second was the birth and then the third shoot at home was when Leila was 12 days old.
