  • "As soon as we found out we were pregnant again, we knew for sure that we wanted someone special to join our birth space and capture the arrival of our baby. From our first meeting with Sheridan she was so easy to talk to and we knew that she was Prefect for the job. The moment Sheridan arrived at our house she was such a calming energy and was so gentle with our young daughter who was with us. When our birth took a different path then expected it was so nice to have Sheridan there as a familiar face, and still be able to have the birth of our son captured. Sheridan was an amazing support and advocate for us. Receiving all of our beautiful images put so many tears in our eyes. Having everything photographed helped immensely to be able to relive and process our experience. We are so grateful that we have photos of our sons first moments to look back on.Sheridan is so professional and experienced, I highly recommend her to anyone considering birth photography Thank you so much Sheridan for being apart of one of our most important days!! We are so in love with all our images. It wouldn't have been the same without you there." Jo and Wez

  • “Sheridan is a true gem. I was so excited to have her photograph the birth of my second baby. I'm not someone who loves being photographed either, quite the opposite in fact. But upon meeting Sheridan I felt at ease and knew that she would be a welcome addition in my birth space. Her passion for what she does is evident, her demeanour is calm and unobtrusive, and her work speaks for itself. The 500+ images she provided exceeded my (already high) expectations and I couldn't possibly pick a favourite if I tried. They're raw, emotive and beautiful - exactly as birth should be. Being able to see my labour, birth and the golden hours that followed unfold has been amazing. I've spent hours pouring over them and will be forever grateful for them. Thank you, Sheridan!” Molly and Johnno

  • "When I found out I was pregnant we didn't have any family in Tasmania, I was so thankful to have found Sheridan to be with me throughout my pregnancy journey. Sheridan was amazing - she answered all our questions, provided us with great resources, and was full of wisdom and knowledge. Having her by my side during the birth was the best decision and investment we made, we had such a positive experience. I'm looking forward to having you at my next birth.

You made such a difference you were there for me - calm and centred just when I needed you the most. Your support was incredible and I am so incredibly elated and proud of what I accomplished! It was such a healing experience after my first two births. I have so much respect for what you do. Thank you. " Clare and Robert

  • "It’s these little moments that make me eternally grateful I booked Sheridan. Without her this memory would have slowly been forgotten in the newborn fog and day to day life. She captured Albie’s birth with such a calm and quiet presence that I barely noticed her being there until I was waving her goodbye whilst holding him in my arms." Megan and Alistair

  • "Being a midwife myself (and a lover of birth photography), I always knew I wanted to have a photographer at my labour and birth. My husband Dylan was initially unsure but once we met Sheridan he was completely onboard. She was easy to communicate with, kind and passionate about all things birth. On the night it all happened, she was a quiet, calming figure in the corner of the room, allowing Dylan and I to do our thing.She is truly a warm presence and was incredibly respectful of my birthing space.When she sent through our photos later that day, we were overcome with emotion.Sheridan has the most wonderful way of capturing the raw emotions, the pain, the support and the love. Hiring a birth photographer, in particular Sheridan, was one of the best decisions I have made.To have these precious moments captured is priceless." Sharee and Dylan

  • "Our amazing journey to meet our rainbow baby was filled with uncertainty. Sheridan was comforting and understood the importance of what this experience would meant for us. Sheridan made herself available from the time we found out we were being induced.When she arrived at the hospital, it felt like she was just a family member .Her professionalism was outstanding throughout our labour. She was able to capture the raw moments of pain and in the end the beauty of new life. Sheridan captured explicit moments that no one would think to photograph. The images in our gallery are incredible and will be cherished for a life time. We have so much gratitude and appreciation for her and she will always hold a special place in our heart for not only being our photographer but also a support person. Our experience would not have been the same without her. Her art is outstandingly perfect as she makes herself discreet and showed nothing but care and respect for us.When our son asks us about his birth we will be proud to show him the photos and tell him how wonderful Sheridan was." Karleen and Ludo

  • "You'd have to meet my partner James, to understand why he was initially apprehensive about birthing photography. Mostly a sweet and supportive guy, but also not too sentimental about things. Our friends recommended Sheridan and James' first reaction was to laugh and say something like "that's a bit over the top, isn’t it?" Our friend, another first time dad, twisted James' arm to consider it, telling him how unique and special the experience was. James agreed to meet with Sheridan, and it was after this meeting that I knew he was in. I would go as far as to say even excited about the whole thing. Sheridan has a way about her. Warm and kind, and a little bit cheeky, but also a strong sense of professionalism. She made us feel completely at ease. We gave birth 1.5hrs away from Sheridan, this wasn’t a problem. She stayed in touch regularly and kept us updated about her availability. She has an incredible ability to float around the room, we barely knew she was there. Extremely respectful of the hospital rules and guidelines, and worked in with what we were hoping to capture. The photos were better than we could have imagined, capturing all the moments- raw and real. The pain, the support, the relief, the love. Sheridan's ability to tell a story in pictures was so helpful for me to look back and remember the experience. Which was so important because there were times where I felt completely out of my body. We loved her photos so much, we booked her in for a newborn shoot. I told James I was writing this review, and asked him what he would say to other parents thinking about birthing photography. He said "Put aside any apprehension you may have about getting it done. It's totally worth it."Thank you Sheridan for capturing these unique and special moments." Aleisha and James

  • "Almost as soon as I discovered we were expecting our third child I began searching for a birth photographer. I'd had one for our second child's birth in Sydney, and knew from our first birth that the only regret you ever have regarding birth photos is NOT having hired a professional to capture this most amazing and sacred journey. Finding no-one suitable in Hobart, I cast my net wider & found Sheridan in Launceston. I knew from my previous experience that it was crucial to not only be drawn to the photographers' work, but to meet and "click" with them as a person. After all, this is someone you have to be comfortable to have in your birthing space. Just one problem... it was mid-COVID pandemic, so Sheridan and I "met" each other via video-call. Sheridan is lovely: friendly & engaging, with a calm gentle aura that puts you right at ease, and yet also completely professional. I stopped searching and booked her straight away. On our birthing night I phoned Sheridan and she leapt in her car for the almost three hour drive to our home! After a quick cuppa on arrival, Sheridan quickly got to work. She quickly faded into the background, but was somehow everywhere, capturing everything. And the images, oh the images! Exquisite! Amazing! Detail and context, action and emotion, raw and powerful; our birth story captured in all its glory. I get teary every time I look at the images in which we discover our two big boys have a baby sister. I cannot recommend Sheridan highly enough. Thank you Sheridan." Nerida and Ian

  • “I was lucky enough to have Sheridan photograph the birth of my baby. From the very first point of contact, Sheridan was very friendly and professional. Due to the short notice I had given Sheridan, (as I was being induced sooner than expected) we were unable to meet up before hand but I could tell just from the phone conversation that I had chosen the right person to photograph my birth. From the moment Sheridan walked into the room, I instantly felt comfortable and at ease with her. She captured every moment of my son’s birth and did it in a way that half the time I was unaware that she was even in the room. She was also a great support not only to me but to my Mum as well who was my support person. Thanks to Sheridan, I now have amazing photos of one of the most special and incredible times of my life, photo’s that I know I will treasure for many, many years to come” Sarah Jayne

  • “Giving birth is such a momentous occasion, and having someone capture those precious moments is a true blessing. A positive birth experience has given me courage, empowerment and strength. Sheridan is not just a photographer- from our first contact I felt her warmth and support. Throughout the process, I received encouragement, friendship and many giggles. We are so grateful we can now look back at these amazing pictures and be thankful for life. We can't wait till Jesse grows up to view the photos.Thanks again Sheridan, you are the best!" Love the Tiu family, xx”

  • “Thank you soooooo much! They are beautiful! Can’t believe it’s all done and dusted. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for us. You’ve documented some really important times for us! The process was so fleeting but with the pictures are there for me to relive those beautiful moments that I brought Tallow into the world! Looking back on the beautiful and empowering photos of my birth, I’m filled with joy and gratitude. Sheridan’s ability to be non-obtrusive in my birth space to document the welcoming of our son was amazing. I’m so happy that I decided to have my last ever birth photographed. These photos are undeniably special and will be cherished for the remainder of my life. They bare witness to the strength and beauty of the everyday miracle that is birth.” Sophie and Dan

  • “THANK YOU! We can’t thank Sheridan enough for the amazing photos that she took for the birth of our daughter. Sheridan beautifully captured all the raw emotions on the day and she’s done it so well - a bit too well - that some of our friends actually cried when they looked at the photos! I was a bit hesitant at first in having a photographer to be around me during labour, as I feel that the person will invade my personal space. However, Sheridan was very discreet, which made it very comfortable to have her around in such an intimate moment. We are so glad that we had Sheridan to capture one of the most precious moments of our lives. To anyone who are still pondering whether to engage her photography service, I highly highly recommend her. It will be one of the best decisions you make in your life.” Sandra and Brum

  • "Nathan and I just sat down again to look at our photos and we just can't believe how beautiful they are. I would like to thank you for being there and witnessing my birth, you were such a great support. We are so thankful to have had you there not only to capture this amazing time but also supporting us and giving us some great advice. I remember from the day I met you on my birthday I was so scared about the birth process and since that meeting you gave a positive outlook. Not having my mum there was a bit depressing for me, but you filled that roll along with my family that were there. Thank you for giving me space and a big thank you for you to giving me ideas on how to deal with the pain you were an incredible help. Looking back on the day makes me incredibly emotional I cant believe it went so quickly and I remember so very little of it, but having your photos has meant I can look back again and again and will have these treasured memories of Aliyah's birth for ever. Aliyah has settled in well at home and is a very contented and happy little baby. Thank you, thank you for everything” Maholy and Nathan

  • "We are so thankful to have had Sheridan photograph both the birth of our son, and a newborn session 48 hours after the birth.Her photojournalistic style is one that is rare to come by, candid and raw, yet so beautiful and polished.

Rebeckah & Peter Bakouris

  • "Birth photography has been one of our best decisions so far. We were a bit apprehensive in the start but the way Sheridan understood our concerns we were confident to go ahead knowing that she can literally read through our minds. While we were completely in a different zone during the birthing process, I had assurance that there is someone who is capturing this beautiful and precious moments for us. After I saw the photographs I can't thank her enough, every moment was captured so beautifully and the photos were shot aesthetically. Once again a big thank you for being a part of the journey we will treasure for ever the images from the day.” Aparna and Charanjeet

  • “Sheridan is such a warm and friendly person and a passionate, talented birth photographer. I always felt at ease during our meet ups and felt so comfortable having her in my birth space. I’m so glad that I discovered Sheridan and that she was there to document one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The photos that she has captured of my home birth are stunning and will be cherished by our family for years to come. My only regret is that she wasn’t there to capture my first daughters birth too.” Sarah & Chris

  • “I had initially contacted Sheridan as I loved the style of her photography, those real candid shots that say so much in a single image. What I didn’t expect was how incredible and raw the images were that she was able to capture of such a milestone in mine and my family’s life. She was above professional throughout the whole process, and a complete support to my husband and I through the birth of our son. After the birth we had a bit of a scare, Sheridan was not only our photographer, but our support person, she advocated for myself and for my family in such a difficult time, and I’m forever grateful she was apart of our experience. Looking back, I couldn’t imagine our experience without her now. Not only is she a talented photographer, but I have also gained a wonderful friend. “ Chanel and Sab

  • "I would highly recommend Sheridan! Sheridan photographed our second girl being born and I wish we had met before to have a chance to ask her to shoot our first one as well. I was a bit sceptical to have someone around during such a private time but Sheridan was barely noticeable and gave us the comfort of being alone exactly when we needed. And most of all we ended up with the most incredibly beautiful photos of that magical time. Couldn't recommend more! From all of us we can't thank you enough.” Kuba and Anna

  • "We can’t thank you enough for the memories you’ve given us, there are no words for how it touches our hearts to have such beautiful images capturing my birth. I had forgotton so much of what happened that night that my photos bring another complete dimension to my birth experience. We love each and every one of them and we have spent hours looking at them talking about how magical that evening was and how lucky we are to be able to relive it in detail through you documenting it. Thank you so much for all the support and strength you gave both me and Olly though out my pregnancy we will always be so grateful that we had you there with us.” Francis and Olly
