The day you give birth will change you. There is nothing else quite like it. The beautiful story that will unfold is something worth documenting.

I became immersed in the birth world when I became pregnant with my daughter.


Sadly, I don’t have a single picture of her labor and birth. I knew I needed pictures of each of my sons' birth. This picture (taken by the amazing Dana Jacob's Photography) of me holding my son, Louis, for the first time is absolutely priceless to me. She perfectly captured the immense love and relief I felt.


I want to give other families this same gift. The births of my children have given me passion to love mamas and capture their strength as they welcome their little ones into the world.

As a birth photographer...

I believe it's important for you to see the strength you embodied as wave after wave rushed over your whole being.


I want every mama to see the love that filled the entire room when their baby was born.


I want my images to empower other women to know what their bodies are capable of.


I long for you to see the face you made as you held your baby for the first time.


I want to capture the first time your baby opens their tiny eyes to gaze into yours.


I hope to document that glorious first latch that feels like both the end of your birth story and the beginning of your story as a mother.


I long for you to see the beam of pride on your husbands face as he marveled at the power you displayed while pushing your baby out.


I am here to capture all these moments and more so you can treasure your memories forever.

"I understand that birth is an intimate experience. That is why I offer a free consultation so we can get to know each other and talk about all things birth. Let’s meet for a cup of coffee, skype, or even text back and forth."
