THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF..

  • You feel confident in your photography, but unsure and lack confidence at births

  • Low light, fast movement, or unpredictable conditions make you hesitate

  • You worry about missing important moments that you cannot recreate

  • You want to learn to work in birth spaces respectfully and confidently

  • You’re ready to stop guessing and start trusting your decisions

This isn't just about capturing birth

It's about knowing how to show up confidently

  • Birth photography isn’t just technical — it’s instinctive, emotional, and deeply human. And most photographers aren’t underprepared because they lack talent. They’re underprepared because no one taught them how to think at births.

  • This course isn’t a checklist. It isn’t a set of rigid rules.

  • It’s about understanding what matters when the room changes quickly. Knowing how to prioritise under pressure. And feeling calm, capable, and intentional in spaces where moments don’t wait.

Meet your instructor

Hello! My name is Hallie Campbell and I founded NZ Birth Stories in 2019, with a passion for birth and a love of capturing precious memories. For me, birth was it, I look a leap and niched down in an industry that wasn’t yet very established in New Zealand and pursued birth photography with the goal of specialising in my field. I have captured over 100 births over the past few years and have worked hard to establish myself in the New Zealand photography market, while also building strong relationships within the birth industry. Over the years I have won multiple international awards for my images, have featured in podcasts, have been a judge for Birth Photographer of the Year awards and have had my images published in well known magazine publications. I am so excited to share my experience and knowledge with other photographers and help you on your way to becoming a birth photographer too!
