Lordy I love making images look like stills from movies. That second photo gets me every time.

It seems I’ve been going in the vaults recently, thinking back on past births and experiences. The friends I’ve made, the love I’ve witnessed, and the paradigm shift in lives I’m stupidly honored to be a part of.

What a strange thing to think about as birth workers, how many lives we get to witness - the very first moment of their life’s journey, being there to take it all in with hands of support. I seriously can not think of anything else in this world I’d rather do.

I thought it was crazy that I haven’t shared this postpartum visit yet, she’s since had another little and I was able to be a part of that birth as well (in part 😂 girl decided to birth in her bathroom before anyone got there!)

I had a month of only repeat clients, and how sweet that was. Seeing their houses go from their curated personal styles, to then melded with the mess of childhood that everyone seems to apologize for (please don’t, we love to see it 😉) and hearing the words “this is who was there when you were born!”

It’s just so fu***ng cool.

✦ A Long Overdue Part 2 ✦
Queue the music if you want to really *feel* like you’re there. Seriously such a stellar moment to see her so encapsulated in love, and support birthing this beautiful little being.
Forever grateful for their camera that stared me dead in the soul and said “take the damn photos.” Fumbling as I was, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to recreate images quite like this.
I was there exclusively as a doula, but sometimes cameras in corner rooms scream at you. Thankfully I can comfortably balance both jobs and excitement. This couple was SO much fun, and such a pleasure to get to know and be around. I feel honored to have been at their birth. We still need to set up a dinner date 🥲

Books are still open! Spots are filling up fast for the next couple months, so if doula care or photography is something you’re wanting for your birth please don’t hesitate to reach out and set up a consult for us to talk things over 🤍 birth is my home space.

Happy Pride 🤍

I have so much love for all of you.
I’ll be celebrating a hell of a lot harder this year, it feels warranted.

We’re not going anywhere.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve seen that my work is always changing - never really with any consistent flow.
I feel like each birth for me holds a different space, a different depth, feel or reflection.
I don’t choose colors for aesthetics - I choose them for what was felt.
This birth was blue.
Like sky. Like breath. Like still ocean water.

And so the edit followed suit.

I had to share more of this beautifully blue birth with you all 🦋

There’s one thing I often say to my client above all else: I believe we instinctually birth where our bodies need us to be.
Whether that is in the kitchen after preparing a beautifully fairy lit birth tub, in the hospital after an exhaustingly long labor at home, orrr in the bathroom before you could even make it to the hospital! (Talkin to you, most recent birth 😉)
Birth isn’t about performance.
It’s not about sticking to the plan to prove anything.
It’s instinct.
Adaptation.
Letting go.
And the quiet, powerful wisdom that rises when we let go of the story and listen to our bodies.
We are where we should be and go where we should go.
Time and time again that’s proven true.

Kaylas birth brought my brain back into creativity after a long slump of not being able to find my flow.
Though I wasn’t able to be present for the birth itself, I have to remind myself that she was exactly where she needed to be, everything has its purpose.
I’m so thankful for this birth, it brought the opportunity to witness family through the world of labor.
With two brothers, this is something I never considered as a possibility but..in comes the realm of cousins!

It was intensely beautiful and emotional to watch how someone I’ve known my entire life navigate a space I’ve known only with people I’ve very recently met - though a space that feels like home nonetheless.
I’m thankful for having the opportunity to witness her strength, and her vulnerability. Seeing our common wants and needs that I never would have otherwise known about.

Her leaving home to go to the hospital wasn’t rushed, or panicked - it felt cozied up, and it was a strangely normal goodbye to go do one of the most wild things a human can do.

She went for an epidural to get rest, yet ended up needing a cesarean - showing once again her body led her exactly where she needed to be. But, not before gifting me with some of the most gut wrenchingly beautiful images ever.
Long post just to say I’m endlessly thankful - for this work, and this life, these opportunities, and these reminders that our bodies know when and where to move us.

Birth is always teaching me, and evolving my life in so many ways.

The pause the universe offers when you first meet your child is unlike anything else.

Thinking back to my birth, a story I’ve told many clients - I thought that time freezing was only found in movies, but when I met Enzlo for the first time I vividly remember feeling time completely stop, and also that nothing else around me existed. It was just me, him, and some insane astral space for just a few moments.

This photo always gets me with the light & shadow. Her support and loves are still there for her, but in that second where the light hit, it was only them.

✶𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆✶
There was a point during this birth (which I was working solely as a doula) where I had to relinquished all will power - my eyes shifted to their personal Cannon sitting alone one too many times. The birth was too beautiful, powerful, ripping at the seams with support and love - and begging to be documented 😅
During our prenatals I always ask if clients would like me to snap some phone shots if I’m not hired for photography, and generally the answer is yes - having quickly built close relationship with these two, I felt comfortable asking *during labor* if I could maybe, possibly, use their big boy camera and get a bit of doulatog action happening.
It was met with a “hell yea” and I ran for it - mind you, I have absolutely no clue how to work my way around a cannon, as a Nikon girl. So scrambling to figure out my usual settings was a bit of an adventure, but eventually I got the hang of it. (Editing once I got home though was a whole damn journey)

Here’s a few of those images from mid active labor. I have a really hard time narrowing down this gallery, so I’ll be breaking it into parts. This was one of those births where everyone in the circle was feelin’ the oxytocin rush - happy, excited, and quietly holding space watching Liz & Ryan be a true fairytale couple through labor.

Let me stray from birth for a moment to highlight a family I just absolutely adore.
Occasionally I have the honor of continuing documentation beyond the birth realm, and following those families along their journeys. It is the BEST. Jillian and her little crew quickly became close friends of mine, we shared such similar visions of parenthood (and moody soft images that feel like their ripped from a film 🥹) she always allows me full creative swing, and I get unparalleled excitement from that sort of trust/freedom. Their love for each other is so effortless and so easily captured.

Little rant just to say I feel endlessly grateful for being aligned with the work that I do, the people I meet, the relationships that follow - I say it all the time, but damn this job is top tier.

This babe was wrapped by their umbilical cord FOUR times!!!

Absolutely adore when I’m able to see a resuscitation that’s full of calm trust & smiles- rather than a rush of people quickly cutting a cord, running to a warmer, and fear of the unknown with not being involved with the process.
Birth photography is so close to my heart if not for this reason alone, being able to show others what is possible and what your birth space can look like!
While of course there are times where nerves are high, and the pause of waiting to see what is happening is there - so many times, babes are just in a bit of shock and need a little help. This is something that can be met with baby staying on their parent, a cord uncut, the moment of meeting their baby uninterrupted.
We’ve all been victim to the cyclical narrative that birth is something to fear, that will be terrible pain, that looks surgical and sterile - I’m here to show you otherwise. Elation & empowerment, trust, comfort, and a space that is entirely yours to bring your little one into your hands.
Labor truly is a sacred and incredible space, take the time to look into what your options are and what is possible 🤍

I wanted to include words from their Midwives ( you guys are amazing 🥹)

“Neonatal Resuscitation at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​NRP is a critical care skill that we practice over and over again, and part of what keeps home birth safe.

Critical, but not always scary!

This parent actually took NRP with us the last time we had to renew, so she knew how to hold the baby, and that this was likely not a big deal. Thanks to FOUR nuchal cords, this baby was probably a little stunned and needed our extra support.”
