Lacey photographed the birth of my son almost 1 year ago. I was having a planned c section due to prior birth complications with my first child, and because of this i was concerned she would not be allowed in theatre with me.
I pushed my decision to my doctor very early on and with Lacey’s help, we made it happen. Lacey went out of her way to provide me with documentation that allowed the doctors and staff to see that she wasn’t just a hobby photographer and would be respectful of the birth process and medical decisions.
Lacey was always respectful towards me and was an absolute gem. She made me feel like she was an old friend instead of someone I hired to photograph my child coming into the world. She only ever did what I was comfortable with and was a massive support in the end.
Let me tell you, lacey did a wonderful job. The images she produced took my breath away, and even a year later I still have people complimenting me about them.
These images are something my son and I will have and treasure for the rest of our lives. What lacey did for me could never be put into words.
During the c section I was awake but I wasn’t quite alert and don’t remember a whole lot of the procedure. Without these images I would have missed my son being born. I would have missed the purple tinge of his skin straight after he was pulled from my belly. I would have missed seeing his perfect crinkled lips and his extremely long fingernails. I would have never seen the nurses cleaning him up or my mum trimming his umbilical cord. I would have never remember the first time he opened his eyes or the look on his face as he was put on my chest.
I have all these things because of Lacey and the wonderful work she does.
I will be forever grateful for her and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for birth photography.
