Birth Stories
Birth stories are my passion! My soul comes alive in the birth space, and I am forever grateful each time I am welcomed into that space with a family.
There is beauty in every bit of it - the strength, the love, the encouragement, the support, the relief and all of the joy. There is just something about witnessing the first time a family meets and falls in love with their baby that is just too beautiful for words!
These moments are as real and as raw as life gets.
All of it, every amazing first moment that will happen in that room, I want to be there to document it for you!

Add-On
Doula Add-On Service
I offer Birth + Postpartum Doula Services to families as an add-on only to Birth Photography!
Birth work is unlike anything else I’ve done, and the power and rawness and love and beauty is unmatched. I very much believe in the power of photos and the work I do there - my art - so I cannot imagine being in a birth space without my camera!

Doulas provide non-judgmental emotional and even physical support to families throughout pregnancy and labor. The relationship starts during prenatal time and extends throughout delivery and into the postnatal time period. They empower birth partners in the birth space to have the confidence to give support to Mom during this deeply transformative time!
Doulas help to bridge the gap of communication between families and their provider.
As a doula, my goal is that you both enter and later look back on your birth feeling loved, cared-for, and supported.
