Birth is magic. I would love to capture these
Once in a lifetime moments
Kindergarten me wanted to be an artist or an author when I grew up. Grown up me is very excited that I get to do both. Well, an author of your story!
During my first pregnancy, I felt called to birth work…
Birth photography is my dream job. I would love to record this once in a lifetime journey for you.
…but I was in art school. I felt like I had to choose - art or birth work? After graduating, I birthed 5 redheaded daughters. I’ve been raising them and doing art in the margins of my days since.
I tried my hand at family photography and was not feeling inspired. I started bringing my camera to little events instead and the inspiration started to flow.
I spent a year working for an influencer in Maui, including editing videos. During a busy season, she asked me to help edit a birth video she had recorded. That was when my calling clicked. I could do art and birth work. I could be a storyteller!
