“I wished on a star
The wish came true
Now instead of stars
I’m gazing at you
In awe and amazement
for how can it be
That someone so
perfect
belongs to me ✨“

I’m dreaming of spring and sunshine and golden hours. This winter has been SO LONG and I’m tired of this Grandpa. I’m counting down the days until it’s warm enough to live outside again.

This photo always reminds me of my favorite children’s book, Are You My Mother?.
Those wide eyes… like he’s studying her face and thinking, “Are you my mama?”

And the beautiful part?
He already knows the answer.

Update on attending births in the OR: Since January, I’ve been able to go back into four at Butterworth. While I’ve attended births in the OR at other hospitals, being able to support families in the hospital I primarily work in has been incredibly valuable.

Each time I walk away with such deep respect for the bravery of mothers as their bodies undergo major surgery, and respect for the medical staff who do their jobs with such skill and care.

I’m always grateful that I’m able to continue supporting families, no matter where or how their babies are born.

I’ll never get over how babies instantly calm when they’re held by their mothers.
For weeks after birth, they don’t even realize they are separate from you.
To them, you are still home. You’re the only thing they have ever known.

“Heartburn means your baby will have lots of hair.”

Is it scientifically proven? Not really. It’s mostly an old wives’ tale.
But as a doula, I’ve seen enough heartburn-filled pregnancies end in some very hairy babies that it definitely makes you wonder. 😅
Pregnancy myths are funny like that, sometimes totally made up, sometimes suspiciously accurate.

Either way, if the heartburn is raging, it makes it a little more worth it all when they do come out with oodles of hair. 🥹

When I saw one of my sweet client/friends was starting her own small business and making the CUTEST mobiles I knew I had to have one and I had a vision for what it would be. She executed it perfectly. I love it and I’m so excited to have it in the office. 🥹
Thank you so much Regi! Crafted Tulip Co.

Drop in and say hi, hang out and some doulas and moms and eat some snack you don’t have to share with kids. 🤣

Such joy! I have been trying to figure out a cute way to keep track of all the births I go to each year. I loved this one. It’s so sweet. 🤍
So many boys this year so far!

Pregnancy is more than a milestone, it’s a transformation. A stretching of body and identity. It is hard work.

As a doula, I witness this becoming every day. As an artist, I believe it deserves to be remembered. Not filtered down. Not minimized. But honored.

I am now accepting maternity session clients for the upcoming months, and it would be an honor to hold this season with you the same way I hold space in the birth room.

If you’re ready to document this chapter, my arms (and calendar) are open. 🖤
