Hey lovely Lady!
Thank you for considering me as your photographer and/or doula!!
Birth isn't just about the baby - it's about you. Your strength, Your Softness, Your Voice, Surrendering to the pain, learning who you are through this birth! It's about the sacred space where life begins, where you smile a smile that you never have before the first time your babies eyes meet yours. Whether you're birthing at home with a midwife, just your partner or all alone, you deserve to feel supported, seen and taken care of. And by someone whose sole focus is YOU! You also deserve to have this moment captured. I want to capture your strength while breathing through contractions, the tears streaming down your face when you meet your babe, I strive to capture the emotion of every moment of your birth. That way you can look back and those emotions will flood back to you, yes a picture can do that!
SO.. What does booking me look like?
01.
Lets chat a bit.
You'll share your due date, where you're birthing, all the basics! I'll make sure I'm available and we will move forward.
02.
Meet up
So everyone feels comfortable and accustomed to each other, we’ll meet up at a coffee shop, or your house! Whichever is more comfy. We will get to know each other for however long makes you feel comfy. I'll listen to whatever you want to tell me.
03.
Keep in touch
You won't bother me don't worry about that! You're having contractions but think you might be crazy... Tell me! You went to your appointment and you're dilated... Tell me! Your midwife is going to do a membrane sweep... Tell me! You just need a friend to talk with... TEXT ME, i'm here for you always!
04.
Delivering photos
I have a baby and a busy life so full delivery takes up to 6 weeks, but if I find time sooner it could be sooner! But don't worry. 24hrs after your birth I will send the sneak peeks that way you can send to family and post on the socials.
Why?
why ME? Why a Photographer? Why a Doula?
Why me? I care way too much, text me at 2am before i'm even on call because your worried and can't sleep... I'll probably text you back between 3-4am because I somehow wake up to pee every night around that time. Only hired me for photography... I'm still going to make sure you're okay and hold your had if you need me. Having a tough time postpartum, you text me and i'll text back.. not because you're paying for it, but because if you hire me God put you in my life for a reason and i'm going to try my absolute hardest to support you!
Why a photographer? Because you'll never regret remembering... you'll never regret witnessing your birth through my storytelling. Because you deserve to see the moments that you didn't see. Because you will know you made the right decision hiring me when every-time you look back at these photos its like a time capsule taking you back to the moment, the feelings you felt all come running back through you!
Why a Doula? Because you can't control everything during labor and in the moment of birth, and you shouldn't have to, you should be able to walk into your birth space with me by your side knowing that I will support you through whatever happens, and I will stand up for what you want. And I will fight like crazy for you to still get the birth you deserve if you end up having to transfer. I'm there because, even if you watch 100 videos and take birth classes to prepare, having a gentle reminder to breathe deep and keep your face loose makes a world of difference. Because you will need to stay hydrated and fed. Because having someone there to help your husband to support you or keep someone from disturbing your peace is something EVERYONE deserves. You deserve someone there for you and only you! I want to be that person for you.

Looking for Birth Photography, plus a mix of support, and capturing other beautiful moments?
Lets chat, i'm not going to make you pay full price for it all! Lets create a custom package with your exacts needs!
What if my baby comes early?
I will most likely be there, but it is not guaranteed. I don't travel much so the likelihood is very high. I'm just not binded to it through contract.
How many pictures will I receive?
100+
What if you don't make it?
This truly depends on how much I miss. If I miss the whole thing because you didn't call in time or baby came quick I will transfer all amount paid (except on call fee $500) to be used for other sessions.
If I just miss most of labor I'll to a fresh 48 session for free.
If it's a weird circumstance we will chat.. don't worry i'll make it right!
“The photos you captured during Jesse’s birth and the other sessions are treasures that I will cherish forever. You have an incredible gift. Also your kindness throughout my birth and postpartum meant so much to me. I will never forget how you took the time to check in on me at such a vulnerable time. I look forward to seeing all the beautiful moments you’ll capture in the future.”
