In a world that considers babies a bother, burden, inconvenience or nuisance...
Can we pause and appreciate what a miracle and a blessing babies are?

What a privilege it is to sacrifice ourselves and labor to brith and raise precious humans for this dark world?

Children are a blessing. They are worth the sweat and tears. They are absolutely worth the change of plans or extra expenses.
They are worth the sleepless nights and extra pounds.
Birthing and raising babies is hard. But it is THE MOST important and the most rewarding hard, you will ever do!

Have babies. Have many of them. Delight in them. Find joy in them. Invest in them.
They ARE a blessing ❤️

Happy Tuesday, everyone.

People will spend months preparing for their wedding and invest thousands of dollars to make that significant day a wonderful memory.
And, I don't blame them! It IS a big day and you want it to be the best experience. You want to have beautiful memories of that day and you want it to be professionally captured.
Some people will say that it is the biggest day of your life.

I will say, it is ONE OF the biggest days of your life.
Because, guess what else is huge and will be written into your brain forever?....
The birth of your baby. It IS a huge day. It IS an important experience. You WILL remember that day forever. And you DO want it to be a good memory and not a traumatizing memory.

New parents often look at birth as something that will just happen, go as it goes and they'll just wing it somehow.

While I always advocate that birth is a natural thing and doesn't require much management, it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be prepared for.
Let's not underestimate the power of the birth experience.

Prepare for and invest into it!
Childbirth education, especially for first time parents is a must!
Experienced and compassionate support for the pregnancy and labor journey, is invaluable!
Professional and beautiful photography capturing the birth story is worth every penny. 👌

At AAB, I provide each of the services that you need, to truly prepare for and have the best experience possible.
You are worth it!
Your baby is worth it!
Your memories are worth it.
Your mental health is worth it.

If you're pregnant, NOW is the time to reach out to inquire. 🫶

It's been heavy y'all... It's been heavy. 💔
So here is a random compilation of sweetness, to remind us that beauty, goodness, and miracles still exists and that when death feels heavy, LIFE prevails!

At one point, early in my doula journey, I heard someone compare getting a doula with getting an insurance.
And man, if that isn't an accurate comparison...

When it comes to birth, we can't predict how it's gonna go. We can't prepare for what might happen.
We can dream and 'plan', we can invision and prepare... but ultimately, we all surrender to the process, take one step at a time and deal with whatever the journey looks like.

And in cases, when you dream and plan for your birth experience to look certain way, be in a certain place, surrounded by certain people, and then for whatever reason those plans change and the way, the place, and the people are now different, having a constant trustworthy and safe person that you KNOW is in YOUR corner and fights for you and not against you, is what can make the experience less traumatic and maybe even still enjoyable.

Sometimes, when people ask me what is the benefit of having a doula, I will tell them the textbook answer. And after that, I'll be honest saying, that the doula support goes much deeper than I can easily explain with words.
One must experience it, to understand.

Because the safety net, comfort and confidence, and the peace of mind goes deeper and is more valuable than words can describe.

I've supported many journeys where this was proven to be true... to me, and also to my clients ❤️

Getting an insurance for the experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life, is what the wise people do. Be wise, friend.

Did you know that in the price for my services is also included a potential ticket for speeding?
You know, just in case you decide to suddenly go from 0 to 10 and have me rush to make it to your birth like a few minutes before the baby comes...
Haha... just kidding. 😆
But that was certainly how this baby decided to make his entrance and have me drive like a wild woman.
When my photography client called with contractions 2 minutes apart, I told her that she's NOT allowed to have the baby before I get there... It worked... barely😂
Thankfully, there was no traffic and cops out in the middle of the night 🤪
Birth is wild and it doesn't always follow the rules and the normal 'by the book' progression. It's all a wilderness and never a boring moment 🤣

Power captured 😍
Birthing your baby is one of, if not THE most powerful thing a woman will ever do 💪
It matters how it happens.
It matters how you feel about that experience.
It matters that you feel like you OWNED that experience ( considering that it involves YOUR body and YOUR baby).

When people meet with me as they're considering my services, I always say: " My goal for you is, that you will come out of your birth experience and you will say I DID THIS! Not - Well, this was done to me..."

And for that to happen, I have found that proper prenatal education and preparation, choosing your birth place and birth team wisely, making healthy choices, and doing a lot of mind work about how we think of birth as opposed to the picture our society paints about birth.

And I work with my clients on all of this, to help them feel truly empowered and proud of themselves after they have their baby.
Because that's the feeling we need to walk into parenthood with.

And talking about the society painting a picture of a birth... a picture that's scary, untrue, and dishonoring.
It is my purpose to not only change that by supporting one mother at a time, but to also capture birth stories that paint it's own picture.
Picture of power, miracle, autonomy, and awe.
Will you join me?

Because this is primarily a birth related page, I mostly just share my Birth Photography work, or some newborn or maternity sessions.
I lost access to my other photography page and just haven't created another one. 😅
That said, I enjoy doing all kinds of photography. Lifestyle Family and Documentary sessions are also something that I have done even though I don't promote it much.
Here is a throwback to this sweet family session from a few years ago.

Do you have any photography needs? Let me know. I just might be your girl! 🫶📸

A newborn session anyone? 😍🤤

This sweetie turned 1 year a few days ago. This is still one of my favorite and dreamiest newborn session. 🥰

My Full Lifestyle sessions are up to 90 minutes long and include a FULL gallery of photos. Considering that I am crazy and overshoot, those galleries are typically quite large. 😅
But you definitely get your money worth!

The memory that should shine!

It soon will be 7 years, since I became a mother. I will never forget that moment when I held my baby for the first time after a long and hard labor. People kept telling me about how once I held the baby, I’d forget all about the labor... I did not. It was worth it, of course. But I did not forget. I remembered. I still remember. 4 children and I remember each moment of each labor. That experience gets written into our memory forever. That experience is meant to be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest experiences in our life. Women are often warned about how horrible birth might be and birth is treated as a medical issue instead of something very natural, beautiful and miraculous. And so my passion, my calling and my purpose is, to remind women that they were created to do this. That their bodies are wonderfully made to DO THIS. That they have their rights, their options and THEIR choices. That birth is one of the most intimate and most amazing things that will ever happen to them. And that THAT experience MATTERS! No matter the circumstances, you can have a wonderful and beautiful pregnancy and birth. You can have an amazing time of healing and bonding postpartum. You can have a wonderful painless and tearless Breastfeeding journey and be in awe, as you learn about the wonderful design of our bodies, babies’ bodies and the connection between. Allow me to be part of that. Allow me to walk with you on this journey as I provide love, care, support, information and simply myself, to aid in your birth experience being the memory that shines and not hurts, forever!
