I’m so excited you want to become apart of Birth Photographer and attend a Mock Birth
I wanted to give you a video I recently made on the 3 things no one tells you about being a birth photographer.
This is massive for me. It really helped me to get in the right headspace to build my business up to SIX FIGURES. If you are new to birth photography and wanting to add this service to your arsenal, then my friend, you need to watch this.
Got any questions? Shoot me an email at lacey@birthphotographer.com.au

Lacey Barratt is everything you would want out of a photography and business mentor. She is savvy and patient and 100% selfless. Her passion is infectious and when you work with Lacey she gives you every last bit of herself.
I started my business in 2007 but let it take the bench while I followed my husband around the country for his career and took time out to grow our family. This year, after nearing the end of 12 months of maternity leave, I was inspired by a chance encounter with Lacey on the beach in Altona and decided to quit my day job and give my business my all. I signed up for Lacey’s mock births, became a member of her Lacey + Live platform and spent hours upon hours mentoring with her both in person and online. She lifted me up and made me believe in myself, in fact, she accepted no less. She pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me think outside the box. Within one month of living under Lacey’s wing I had shot my first two births and booked two more for later this year. I had completely revamped my website and increased my prices twice. Then, after speaking with Lacey on entering AIPP awards I decided to do that too. What did I have to lose? Nothing. I entered four images from my very first two birth jobs and three of them went on to win silver awards. Then from the scores those prints had accumulated, I went into the running to win the 2018 AIPP NSW Documentary Professional Photographer of the year…and I won that too. None of this would have been possible without Lacey. She is worth her weight in gold (and some because she’s actually really tiny!). If you are hesitant about your path in birth and documentary photography, hear me now: give yourself just ONE conversation with Lacey and you’ll soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.
