About Me
My own birth and postpartum experiences have deeply influenced the way I photograph families.
I understand the desire for a calm, intimate environment and the importance of letting babies and families unfold naturally
rather than forcing moments or poses.

Fun Facts
In 2021, I became a doula. Right away, I incorporated my life-long passion for photography and added birth photography to my services.
The birth of my third child brought clarity to focus
solely on photography and document the precious moments of new life.
It brings me great joy
to provide families with
the gift of nostalgic love and connection when they look at photos of this special time.
Doula
I met the love of my life in 2013, and we would welcome 3 beautiful babies into our lives.
Each birth was unique and life-changing. Surrendering to the raw power and force of birth was no easy task, and resulted in a deep, personal transformation.
The pictures I have of these times are held near and dear to my heart. When I look at them, I'm transported back and
feel the love and connection all over again.
Homebirth
In 2012, I stepped into the world of birth and fell in love.
I studied as a student homebirth midwife
with New Earth Midwifery.
Through this, I discovered my love for the role of birth Doula.
Although I eventually changed directions, I continued to fall deeper in love with welcoming new life
into this world.

In Summary
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
My Journey through
In 2024, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, requiring a stem-cell transplant.
This experience put a lot of things into perspective in lightning speed.
Only the most essential items received attention: close family and friends, gratitude, love, spirituality, and health.
Throughout this ordeal, my desire to create meaningful photography for families as they welcome new life into their hearts grew stronger than ever before.
My new stem cells.
Treatment required me to leave my family, including my nursing, 16-month-old baby.
I felt my heart break deeper and deeper each time I pumped without my baby in my arms. I hadn't expected to have my nursing plan cut short so abruptly.
Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for the photos I have of nursing what has become my last baby. They soothe my aching heart and bring me joy for that oh-so-brief and special time.

Knowing that I can create that soothing joy for families through photography brings me a deep, inner peace.
I have received trainings from The Beauty In Birth and Birth Becomes You in photography, videography, and editing for birth photographers. I have also received training from Spinning Babies, Breech without Borders, DONA, and IDI for birth professionals in breast feeding, childbirth, and doula care. I am enjoying my journey, and I am deeply happy to serve this wonderful community.
