Well, I don’t think that my week could have been any more exciting if it tried!!
It started by making front page of my local Leader newspaper. A fabulously written article discussing the new genre of birth photography and how a local woman ( me) was having more and more mums-to-be wanting this beautiful moment in their life documented.
From that I received phone calls from 3AW radio and Sunrise producers wanting to know more about this new and interesting photography niche.
I quickly jumped on this rollercoaster that I was, until this point so unfamiliar with, yet so grateful to be asked to be a part of.
Within 24 hours a couple of my lovely past clients were meeting at my home studio and we were joined by the camera team to record the back story. It was so great to be back with these gorgeous past clients. They shared their view on how they found having their birth story captured and did so in such a beautiful and eloquent way.
Monday morning came around quickly and I headed to the Channel 7 studios to cross live with the Sydney studio to be interviewed by the lovely Melissa Doyle. She was a darling and made me relax and feel free to be able to share all the reasons why I love being a part of this unique genre and how honoured I felt to be invited into such a precious and private part of couples lives.
I cannot lie though, I was most relieved when it was all over, however, I would not exchange that moment for anything. Having the opportunity to share with the entire country why this is something I feel so proud to be a part of.
No other work could bring me the joy and satisfaction of witnessing firsthand the love of two people as they meet their precious little one for the first time. To capture this and be a small part of such a beautiful time in their life is a true honour for me.

So for now I will gently come down from my high and back into normal life. I feel like I have had an amazing dream. I look forward to seeing where this will all lead and if I will infact wake up!!
Til next time
