ABOUT

Hello!

I'm thrilled you're looking to discover more.

I capture the strength and courage of awe-inspiring women and birthing people who want to give birth on their own terms, taking care to record a series of breathtaking, raw images without the feeling of intrusion.

I've been documenting birth stories for six and a half years and supporting them for three and a half. You can read what past clients have to say HERE!

You're super comfortable in your skin and have a supportive partner who understands the importance of these moments because it's their birth story too.

You want to work with someone you feel comfortable with and who specialises in birth photography (+ it's a bonus if they're a Doula too!)

You want peace of mind.

You're looking for more than just a snapshot of your birth.

You want the experience and all the emotions caught and preserved in an artistic and sensitive way.

You love the thought that your children will grow up and have insight into the day they were born.

More about me...

Who is Lillian Craze?

There is a genuine link, my middle name is Lillian and my maiden name is Craze - I combined the two and Lillian Craze Birth Photography was born (no pun intended)

🎧 I'm a Podcaster and host of The Adventures of a Birth Photographer where I share tips, and insights and interview some super cool peeps!

I'm also a very proud columnist for Juno Magazine. My column is called "Birth in Pictures" it's where I share my birth photography and my thoughts on being a birth photographer. My clients have loved being published in this beautiful Magazine!

📍 I'm also the curator of The Birth Library - a place where Doulas, Midwives, Birth Workers and Birth Professionals can access and use real, raw images of birth to elevate their birth businesses!

☎ And if you'd LOVE to get into Birth Photography and have a ton of questions my Pick My Brains Calls are hugely popular (without breaking the bank) - For a whole hour I'm an open book to ask anything

I live in a small town called Porthcawl which runs along the beautiful coastline of South Wales.

I'm married to a super supportive man, mum to two gorgeous boys and owner of an adorable beagle. Life can be pretty manic but I wouldn't change it for the world.

I love steaming hot baths, jumping into a freshly made bed, the sound and smell of rain, and when off-call a cold G&T (in a tall glass!)

I would love to meet you,

P.S. Here's where you can find me on Instagram, FaceBook & YouTube

"I was really excited to have a photographer be at the birth but started to doubt it as we got close to the due date. During the labor, which was a long one, I didn't want a lot of people around so I wasn't sure about having a photographer but I also didn't want to regret not having her. I was so glad that we called Jo. She was very respectful of our space and made sure she wasn't in our way. I knew she was around but I was in my own zone. She kept aligned with keeping the space peaceful. She is just a beautiful spirit. I absolutely love all the photos I got from her. I'm so grateful that she was able to capture the special moments my daughter was born, Thank you Jo!!!"
