"I am Kirby, a 36 year old soul with a passion for supporting families and capturing their most cherished moments.  I was raised in the bush by a single mother and as the saying goes: "you can take the girl out of the bush, but you can’t take the bush out of the girl.” My upbringing instilled in me lessons of resilience, self-reliance, appreciation for nature and a strong love of family, that continues to shape who I am as a women + business owner.  In 2010 I moved to Brisbane My matrescence journey has been anything but straightforward and while it has been filled with vast amounts of grief and heartache, ultimately it brought me Olive Juice - and for that I am forever grateful.  Founded in 2018 on my first ever due date that came and went without a baby in my arms, Olive Juice Lifestyle became an outlet for me to pour my heart and soul into while I try to make my family. From humble beginnings, Olive Juice has evolved into a full-service, soul-led, luxury business, that I am incredibly proud of.  My business is dedicated to all my babies - acts as an extension of myself. So it reflects all of my favourite things.  When I am not behind the camera or guiding families through the beautiful journey of birth, you’ll likely find me in my backyard watering my plants, cuddling my fur babies or playing in the garden. ​ As a photographer, videographer and doula, I find joy in weaving unforgettable stories through the lens of my camera and the gentle touch of my support.  ​ Whether you are booking in for family photos or doula services, you can count on having a relaxed and enjoyable experience with me.

Born at Home

One of my biggest achievements is hitting the big screen in 2024.
 

Born at Home has impacted people all over the globe. 

This film showcases birth as the beautiful, powerful and transformative rite of passage that it is. It encourages women to take ownership of their pregnancy journey and birth. It shows women how sacred and transformative the energy of birth truly is and that it is our birthright to have that powerful experience undisturbed and respected.

The film also helps partners understand and witness their role in the birth space. It celebrates birth workers and reignites the passion these women have for their work. Midwifery students have shared with us they feel renewed in their studies and excited to go in this direction with their career.
