I'M KENDYL
I am a passionate birth photographer and doula in Perth.
I also offer photography to capture all those special moments from maternity to motherhood and beyond: The raw, the real, and everything in-between.
There is so much beauty in all the various stages of motherhood and I’m here for it all, in any way you may need.
1.
I am a Mumma.
Yes, first and foremost, I’m just like you. I have been through all the ups and downs but most importantly
I have had the same deep desires as you have to believe that I matter and what I am doing here on this earth as a mum deserves to be celebrated, honoured and acknowledged.
Especially in the thick of it all!
2.
I love capturing worthwhile
moments filled with feeling and sense.
You know, the ones that you don’t ever want to forget.
The ones that make you close your eyes and work hard to etch it into your memory.
Moments that you lay in bed at night reciting over and over again so you don’t forget it.
You want to hold onto every single detail and I want to be the one to help you do so.

As a single mum of two girls and a complete birth nerd,
I understand all about the transformative journey on your path through birth and postpartum. It’s a challenging journey - one that is made easier when you feel loved, held, supported, and respected. I’m passionate about ensuring that all the women that hire me feel exactly that. In fact, by the time my girls create their own families, I want trauma through birth and postpartum to be completely unheard of and every woman to feel held and cared for throughout the birth process.

I’m your somewhat typical suburban mum - you know, one
of the ones that magically survive on cold coffee and the kids’
leftover toast crusts. Living the juggle of being everything for
my kids while at the same time showing them how important
it is to know who you are and follow your dreams. Life always
seems a bit chaotic, but I love it all.
A natural introvert, you’ll often find me hanging
out in my activewear or the classic jeans-and-white-
tee combo, with my hair haphazardly tied
back. Food is my love language, and the beach
is my all-time happy place. My favourite me time
activity is blissfully laying on a hammock in the
sun, with smooth beats playing in the background
(even though that sometimes is a bit of
a pipe dream). Did I mention I’m a single mum..?
A serial thinker, I often search the crevices of my soul and mind
to push the limits of my emotional strength, aspiring to be
kinder and more loving with each passing day. My fuel is
supporting and holding you through birth and postpartum.
To be completely honest, I see myself as a bit of a women’s
advocate in every space. With every click of the camera,
I honour the essence of what makes you a worthy female. You
bring amazing value to the world and those around you, which
makes you the heroine of your story. A story I want to tell.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
