photographer  |  doula  | educator

It is one of the most profoundly humbling and sacred experiences to be a part of someones birth. I have been working with families in birth since 2009. 

I have always loved photos. They capture a moment in time for you to relive over and over. Now I help families capture moments about their birth to cherish year after year.

FAQ

Why Hire a photographer?

Its all over in a matter of hours! Details can be lost while you are hard at work bringing your baby earthside or working on the miracle of growing your baby.
Photos let you hold on to these moments forever. When your child starts preschool, learns to ride a bike, graduates, or has a baby of their own - You’ll be able to reflect on those beautiful moments 10, 20, 50 years down the road.

Do you pose us?

My goal is to blend into the background and capture events as they unfold and stay out of the way of all the people there with a job to do, not to pose you or interrupt you in any way. I want you to be able to stay in the moment.

​How are my photos delivered?

When the photos are finished editing we’ll schedule a viewing session together where we can go through all your photos! This is a super enjoyable experience and always a lot of fun. Once we’ve gone through your photos, I’ll be there to help you decide on any prints, albums or keepsakes you’d like to order. After this is done, you’ll receive a link to all your photos from your own online gallery to share online & download to your computer for safe keeping.

​Do you share my photos online?

My business is built on my portfolio. Its how you found me, and how other couples will find me. Because of this I’ll likely share my favorites on social media and my website, but I am always mindful of their private nature and make sure to never post graphic photographs without your consent. If you would prefer to have your session remain totally private, we can work that out ahead of time.
