I’m Stephie: photographer + radical birth keeper.

Do you want to honour and treat yourself by commissioning beautiful photographs of your pregnancy and mothering journey?

Are you considering a homebirth or freebirth, and looking for a knowledgeable, likeminded, straight-talking woman to explore your options with?

Or do you want to process a birth experience that ended up being everything you didn’t want, leaving you traumatised, confused and with an unshakeable sense of guilt?

My work is in service to the curious, wild-at-heart women who are ready to celebrate and claim sovereignty over their bodies and experiences.

Through radical birth keeping; joyful birth education; birth trauma processing and pregnancy/mothering photography, I’m guided by my unwavering belief in the wisdom of women, the genius of birth and the powers of sisterhood.
