Pregnancy and early motherhood is a time that carries worry and stress, and it helps to connect with another person who’s been there. It also comes with some less-than-glamorous days, and it can be a struggle to feel like you. I’m here to get you back to feeling yourself with stunning motherhood photography and self-care. Hair, makeup, and styling are some of my favorite tools to make the process fun. You deserve a treat for all you do, and I’m ready to make you feel empowered and beautiful.
After refocusing my photography services on expecting mothers, I truly found joy in working with amazing women day in and day out. I love everything about the relationships we build and the moments we share. I was determined to find another way to provide support and encouragement, so I set my sights on becoming a birth doula. Now that I’m officially certified (woo-hoo!) I can offer even more to you throughout your journey. Need an extra person to help you through labor? I’ll be there. Have questions about newborn life? Call me anytime. Together, we’ve got this whole mom thing down.
When deciding to start a family, I had an idea in my head of how the process would go. Try to get pregnant, a positive test, easy pregnancy, quick labor + birth, and a beautiful new baby, right? Boy, was I wrong. For years I struggled with infertility and loss, and it deeply affected my joy and confidence. I have virtually zero photos of my pregnancy with my daughter because I refused to get my hopes up that I would bring my little girl home. But, I did bring her home. And I wish that I had those memories to look back on. Now, it’s my mission to help other moms capture their special moments throughout their entire journey. I want to give you the confidence that you need, and help you through any adversity that you may encounter. Let’s bring the joy back into becoming a mom, and have photos to cherish for a lifetime.

I make THE BEST chicken alfredo (at least according to the fam) - I am currently dairy and egg free so we haven't had this in a hot min and miss it!

You’re doing amazing things mama, and I want you to enjoy every minute of it. Pregnancy and motherhood is special so I ensure that my sessions are stress-free and fun. We’ll laugh, pose, and play so you have photos that capture both your physical beauty and loving personality. When you look at your photos, I want you to have a smile on your face remembering this time in your life.
Becoming a mom won’t be picture-perfect and that’s okay. I want to help you embrace the real and raw sides of motherhood because that’s what makes life special. I’m here to tell your true story, not just ask you to smile for the camera. With encouragement, gentle guidance, and support, you’ll have photos that are authentic to your family.
No matter how you’re feeling, I’m ready to lift you up and be a person that you can turn to whenever needed. After years of infertility and three babies of my own, I’ve been there. If you need advice, words of encouragement, or just a shoulder to cry on, I’m here for you. Your comfort is important to me, and I’ll always offer you compassion throughout your photo session and birth experience.
I had my son 10 days before his due date and didn’t once worry she wasn’t going to make it. If we have a second baby we will definitely be booking her again, especially now that we can capture the birth as well. Highly recommend her.
