Hello Maggie | A Townsville University Hospital Induction
I still have to pinch myself every time I realise I’ve had the honour of documenting not one, not two, but three of A & D’s birth stories.
In the birth photography world, we call this a “threepeat” client — and they’re as special as they sound. Like unicorns… but real. 😊
Maggie’s birth was the latest chapter in a journey I’ve been privileged to witness. Each birth holds its own rhythm, its own emotions, but the connection deepens with every story told.
This time, the setting was Townsville University Hospital, and the path to meeting Maggie involved an induction — a reminder that every birth unfolds in its own unique way.
Being invited back into a family’s birth space, again and again, is one of the greatest honours of this work. It’s more than just documenting moments; it’s about building trust, connection, and preserving memories that grow with each chapter.
