Hi, I am Ruth

I am Mia and Annabelle’s mummy and I named my business after them because motherhood really and truly brought me back to who I am. And this is who I am:

All I want to do is to empower women and help them live a better life in a world that has become estranged to mama earth and female energy. I want not just to heal, but to give tools and solutions, not just take beautiful photos, but empower you to feel amazing while we take them, not just photographing a sacred birth but being present with all my knowledge and experience. Not just live my life aligned to nature healing powers and my natural cycles, but also empowering you with the knowledge of it, because it is magical.

I was put on this planet to help. I heal and document women with knowledge and love. I teach and facilitate spaces. Always empowering, always healing.

Move through life as a strong empowered woman, I am here for that.

“The birth photos are incredible and such a special memory for us. I cannot thank you enough for them.

Not only that, when I met Ruthie she was a stranger, we hadn’t met before, however when she left my home after the third shoot we had (fresh 48) I really felt like I had made a friend for life. This woman is amazing!!! She made me feel like a total goddess, when I shared my insecurities with her, she told me why I shouldn’t feel that way about myself, she encouraged me throughout my labour and made me feel strong and like I could do it even when I wanted to give up, she provided the most gorgeous essential oils to help my labour and also belly butter for my pregnancy, she helped calm me during labour with EFT as well. I always felt at ease from the second I met Ruthie. I am so grateful we met and that I made such a wonderful friend".

From Photography to healing

I always make concoctions, tinctures, oils blends, sourdough, healing food, ferments and creams. I am never shy about sharing advice and tips.

I will always hold your space, your secrets and your pain. You are safe with me and your trust in me is everything.

I have always been helping people, whether I meant to or not. Now I know it’s called being an empath.

I started taking photos after gravitating away from my career as film editor. I was naturally attracted towards the things I am passionate about like natural birth and breastfeeding.

I never just take photos, I take stories, document journeys. With time, I got so much positive feedback from women I photographed that I felt that the universe is calling me to come home… to healing…

I started photographing births just as Covid hit, managing to document my first birth a week before lockdown. During lockdown, after a few weeks of confusion, I started taking doorstep photography, reconnecting to people and hearing their stories. It was very healing for me and for them.

As hard as it was, lockdown also provided wonderful things like zoom training… I dived into all the learning I could get: EFT tapping, aromatherapy, channeling… tools, tools, tools. I love it. I never stop learning.

Training as an EFT practitioner I realised I have always been a person who sees deeply into people's souls and always tried to help. Now I also have the practical tools and constructive knowledge.

I believe that with better births we will have a better world. So I advocate for natural birth that leads to a good and positive postpartum and an easy breastfeeding journey. Training with the "Red Tent Doulas" I discovered I have always been a doula/ wise woman; supporting and advising women around me, while obsessively collecting more and more knowledge and information through training, reading and practicing.

What else?

Besides being Mia and Annabelle's mummy I am wife to a very sweet man. And not forgetting Jojo the springer spaniel who completes our neurodiverse hyper family .I love cooking and feeding and outdoors walks, especially woods. You will usually find me in yoga tights just before or after a class.

If you fancy a nosy and want to know more, check out my instagram where you will mostly find me in oversharing, stretching some bits of my body or making a ferment or concoction. I share a lot of my natural way of living in a modern world.

I asked my customers to describe me, their sessions and photos in one word.

I absolutely loved what they came up with:

Authentic, dynamic, empowering, wonderful, patient, liberating, candid, creative, caring, sincere.

If you find yourself comfortable with all of this, don't hesitate, get in touch. You will never regret getting support, someone to hold your space and documenting your journey.

Remember: when you heal yourself, you also heal your mother and her mother and her mother's mother. When you heal yourself you will heal your daughters and their daughters.
