Camera offerings

My love of photography began in 2003. Initially on a mobile phone, than later on a crappy digital camera. The images quality was terrible, but the passion was immediate and unwavering.

 

In 2007 I picked up my first decent camera and had the privilege of photographing my first birth- This birth taught me so much about myself as a woman, mother and photographer and changed the trajectory of my career.

 

In 2018 Olive Juice Lifestyle was born. Since then I have expanded into family photography, newborn photography, birth photography and videography, branding shoots and more. While my studio and equipment have got some serious upgrades over the years, I have stayed true to my love of lifestyle photography. I am a lifelong student of photography and remain committed to growing, learning and refining my craft. These days I shoot with a Mirrorless Canon EOS R6 + EOS R (a fun fact for the photography nerds).

Born at Home

One of my biggest achievements is hitting the big screen in 2024.
 

Born at Home has impacted people all over the globe. 

This film showcases birth as the beautiful, powerful and transformative rite of passage that it is. It encourages women to take ownership of their pregnancy journey and birth. It shows women how sacred and transformative the energy of birth truly is and that it is our birthright to have that powerful experience undisturbed and respected.

​

The film also helps partners understand and witness their role in the birth space. It celebrates birth workers and reignites the passion these women have for their work. Midwifery students have shared with us they feel renewed in their studies and excited to go in this direction with their career.
