Birth Support & Photography in Northamptonshire
Compassionate, grounded, non-medical support for your freebirth, homebirth or sovereign motherhood journey.
Whether you're planning an undisturbed freebirth, exploring alternatives to medicalised care, or seeking a witness who honours your choices - I offer presence, trust, and deep listening.
I'm a mother of four, experienced in holding space for powerful, autonomous births. I serve women within a 90 minute radius of Northamptonshire.
What can you expect?
A rhythm of trust, presence, and reverence - from first connection to deep postpartum integration.
Booking Meeting / Phone Call
We begin with a free no-pressure 20-minute call to feel into the fit. This is your chance to share your vision, as questions, and get a sense of how I hold space. If we feel aligned, we'll book your support package and begin preparing together.
Antenatal Visits
Held in your home, these sessions are spacious, intuitive and led by you. We explore your hopes, your fears, your birth plans, and anything else that matters to you. I may offer resources, modalities and reflections but my deepest offering is listening - without agenda.
Continuous Support
You don't need to wait for our next visit to be held. Between visits, I'm available by voice note, message or call - whether you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply have something to share - I hold you in the in-between.
On-Call
From 28 weeks onwards, I'm on-call for you 24/7. Phone on, bag ready, camera charged, heart open. Whether your birth begins in a whisper or a roar, I'm ready to come to you - day or night - as soon as you make the call.
Birth Attendance
I arrive quietly, bringing trust and reverence, not interference. You lead your birth. I witness, hold space, and respond intuitively - whether that means being close, stepping back, or capturing raw sacred moments on camera.
Birth Photography
There are no bright lights or instructions. I work with the natural rhythm of the room, honouring your process and only capturing what feels right. I'll photograph the raw, tender, powerful moments as they unfold - often without a word spoken. I stay for the sacred first hours - the skin to skin, the first latch, the exhale. These are the moments many women with they'd remembered more clearly. The tiny details they never want to forget. I capture them gently, with reverence. Within 2-3 weeks, you'll recieve a private online gallery with hand edited images. Your birth as it truly was.
Postnatal Visits
The story of your birth deserves space to be spoken, honoured and integrated. I return to sit with you in the days or weeks that follow. To listen, hold space for your story and offer gentle support. The visit is never rushed. It's a time to land, reflect, and be mothered a little yourself.
ABOUT ME
I'm Shannon, a mother, birth keeper and storykeeper for women who choose to walk their own path in birth.
My own births have all been wildly transformative and have shaped the mother and woman I am today. Each one tore something down and returned me to myself in a new way. Through birth I remembered my power. I remembered that my body already knew. I remembered that safety doesn't come from control - it comes from sovereignity.
Now I walk beside other women as they recalim that same knowing.
I offer birthkeeping and photography for women who are choosing something different. The ones planning homebirth or freebirth, not because they're fearless, but because they're ready to be trusted. The ones who want to be witnessed and held and not saved and managed.
I hold space in a way that's soft, strong and intuitive. I wont interfere. I won't direct your birth. I'll bring my calm, grounded presence, and help guide you through the portal of birth.
I live in Northamptonshire with my children and partner, and serve families within a 90-minute radius. I bring my full self to this work - the mother, the witness, the keeper of stories and the woman who knows that you already know.
If this resonates, I would love to meet with you. You don't have to walk this path alone.
