My Background

 

I’m a creative person with a passion for children and connecting with others. After many years as a professional photography creative, I decided to become a birth doula and postpartum doula, and am excited to bring my photographic capabilities to this work. I am inspired by everyday people, love, simple and extraordinary moments, and light and shadow. I am interested in supporting and documenting families during the very tender moments of birth and telling your story by photographing your birth.

Let me help you nurture your family and preserve the beauty of this transformative time in your lives. Contact me today to learn more about how I can support you and document your journey with sensitivity and artistry.

"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers – strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."
