Simone Melbourne Home Birth Photography

Have you ever met someone and felt like you are on the save wave length? Where you share the same ideas and perspectives on the importance of investing in your birth experience. That’s what happens when a birth photographer meets a Hypnobirthing Australia facilitator.

Simone and I initially met to purely discuss our passion for birth. We sat and chatted for hours about our experiences and how we wanted to share our knowledge to others. Simone has a really popular little business called Peaceful Birthing. She helps educate others on how Hypnobirthing techniques can prepare parents to be for a positive birthing experience. 


That was why months later I was so excited to be invited to document Simone’s birth experience. As it turns out, even more excited to know I would be documenting her home birth.


We joked in the weeks leading up to her birth that a quick day birth would be just perfect so when I got the call not long after waking in the morning I couldn’t believe that Simone may just experience her dream birth. 


Simone experienced almost everything in the lead up to her second birth so when I arrived with the announcement that the baby is almost here I couldn’t believe it (you can read her perspective here). 10 minutes after I arrived I watched a beautiful supported safe home birth. I saw a mother realise in those last few moments that SHE DID IT!

I tear up now thinking about it just as I did then. I knew how much this birth meant to her. If you are interested in learning more about Hypnobirthing Australia or looking at courses around the Warragul/Berwick area I could not recommend Simone more. I have seen what is possible with a little bit of knowledge, a supportive birth team and a pinch of believe and trust.

If you would like to speak with Simone to book a class or me to help you capture your special memories get in touch today.
