And thank you for considering me to be a part of your birth story!
I can't wait to be a mother and am continually amazed at how many different forms that role can take. Just as every family is different, each woman I work with has had a wildly different path to motherhood, but they have all been grounded in love and an incredible strength that they may not have known they were capable of. Every mother is a super-human and the steps leading up to a child’s birth showcase her ever-growing artillery of super-powers.
The way a body changes, the brave step into the unknown. Loving a partner so much that you can’t wait to see that goofy lopsided smile that you fell in love with on the face of a brand new human. What a beautiful thing! Through birth photography I’ve seen so much raw beauty, strength, and courage. I’m always in awe of the beautiful way our world transforms to create space for new life to grow.
The change that happens the instant a woman becomes a mother is one of life’s most beautiful gifts and is a true “once in a lifetime” experience. I want to preserve this experience
for you.
“Females are strong as hell”, and I’m absolutely certain of that. The raw beauty of a mother’s strength inspires me and I can't wait to collect for you these moments of connection and the beginnings of this bond that will last a lifetime.
First of all, congratulations mama!
Birth Collections
Consider my a part of your birth support team! I will be on call for you from 36 weeks - 42 weeks.
I will arrive around the beginning of active labor to quietly document your labor, delivery of your beautiful babe and about an hour to two hours following delivery to capture those first moments of bonding, nursing, and first moments together as a family as well as details like the baby's fresh new fingers and toes, weighing and foot prints etc.
Unlike other sessions, time is completely unlimited. I will be available to you from the time the phone rings until baby is here (whether that be an hour or 20!)
I am available for unlimited phone chats, coffee dates and emails to talk in depth about your hopes, expectations and reservations and to explore the types of birth images that really speak to you. It's monumentally important to have your birth photographer brought in as a part of your labor and delivery team, so that when the time comes for you to get into your zone, everyone on your team can work together to create a pleasant and positive environment for you.
In hospital portrait session to capture the first few days with your new baby.
Fresh 48 sessions are scheduled at the hospital, around 48 hours after baby's birth, and unless otherwise discussed, around 10 am.
Unlimited chats before your birth to offer assistance with preparation.
You will receive a gallery of 30+ images
