ABOUT SARAH
I am a mum of a beautiful little girl, who inspired me to get back into photography after her birth. I started out taking photos of her then friends and then I started taking on clients. I then, after many hours of practice and study was given an opportunity to photograph a birth and never looked back.
What advice would you give to a photographer starting out in the industry?
Practice, practice, practice. Read up on all you can. If you are doing a shoot research before the shoot don't just go in hoping for the best.
What was the most challenging assignment you have ever had either physically or emotionally?
This would have to be my first birth, the beautiful Mumma was trying to have a normal birth after 2 c-sections. After laboring at home for many hours (I was there for 15hours) she had to get transferred to the hospital to have another c-section. It was hard knowing she didn't get the birth she wanted but I had also captured her labor and all the hard work she had just done.
What is the most unique project you have worked on and why?
Being a birth photographer every single birth is unique none are ever the same. Its not like a normal shoot where you pose every couple in the same few poses. Every that baby is born is a unique little being.
What inspired you to start taking photos?
The birth of my daughter. It was truly magical and also pages on facebook put birthing images up and I knew straight away its were I needed to be.How did you become a photographer? What was your big break into the industry?
I studied in high school then started taking photos of my daughter and her friends. Then people started asking me to take photos of there kids. Put photos up on a Facebook page and it took off.
What interests you most about photography? What do you find most rewarding about photography?
Being able to capture memories forever for my clients. Definitely being able to capture the moment a new life enters the world and knowing the parents will have that forever
Who is your favourite photographer and why?
It changes all the time but it would have to be Victoria from Adelaide birth photographer, her images are always stunning. Also her respect for the birth space is inspiring.
Where do you see the photographic industry in 10 years time?
Its changing all the time but I believe people are going to want more of their lives captured.
What type of cameras and equiptment do you use?
Canon 60D and almost always have my Tamrom I think its 25-70mm 2.8
If you could photograph anyone or anything from any time period, who or what would it be and why?
Births from every era! Imaging being able to show the changes over time.
