Women often describe giving birth as one of the most incredible moments of their lives, having felt both womanly and empowered to be creating life. However, as miraculous as it is, in-between all the excitement and the urgency of the moment, it is possible that you might not remember every detail. To avoid missing those precious details, you should consider hiring a professional to capture those intimate moments.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!

New Website Coming Soon!

I loved meeting Caitlin and her mom when they came in for our first consult.  Everything felt so comfortable and easy with them, I was thrilled when Caitlin said she definitely wanted to book!  Fast forward to now, a little over 2 years later, and I am counting down the weeks until I get to be in the birth room with her again as she and Scott bring another little boy into the world.  As we all get more and more excited about meeting their new baby, I thought it was about time I sat down and blogged Hudson's birth!

Don't wait! There are only 2 spots left for the Santa Experience this year! It's always lots of fun!

I haven't shared a recipe in a while! Since I LOVE Oreos (they are awesome) and this looks like fun, I decided I'd share this recipe for you to try with your favorite little monsters!

I am VERY slowly trying to catch up on blogging birth stories. LOL I'm kind of the worst in terms of blogging, but we have been working this year to stream-line things a bit more so I can carve out more time to write! Today I am sharing the (FAST) birth of Elijah!​

Isn't it funny that (in most cases) the bathroom is where you get the biggest news of your life? You wait anxiously perched on the edge of the tub, your eyes switching back and forth from the clock and that stick sitting on the counter. Seconds tick by... they may as well be years. You start daydreaming about how your life will change, a fog of what ifs... and all of a sudden you see it. A line. You're going to be a mom!

Take it from me and the other moms who learned the hard way, you want to think about pregnancy and babies before you even start trying. If you are planning on starting a family soon, consider everything you haven't considered yet. You don't want to decide at 34 weeks into your pregnancy, that you think a homebirth midwife is a better option than an OB (which comes with a hefty price tag without the right insurance!). Or that you want to hire the best birth photographer in town to come take pictures of you while you welcome your baby into this world. Birth and baby related expenses can add up fast, and before you know it, you might find yourself choosing which items matter most to you because you waited until last minute to plan. Making big decisions late in your pregnancy can be stressful, financially impossible, or even heartbreaking if you fall in love with something you can't have.

I remember the first time I met Angelica and Josue. Love just radiated from them. We sat in a Bill Millers and talked about what they envisioned for their story. I had the honor of telling their story from the moment they announced that they were expecting a boy, all the way through his first year. I figured it was time to tell his story, since he is almost 2 and a half now! LOL I have LOVED watching him grow! I hope you enjoy reading Valentin's birth story from their perspective. I know I did. :)

Only a few days left to take advantage of this offer! You do not have to be due in Jan to book. I look forward to hearing from you! Also - I am currently looking for a maternity model for a concept shoot. For the purposes of this project I need someone that is of Asian descent.  Preferably due in April or later so we can ensure planning goes smoothly. Please contact me for details.

I am finally making some time to blog! Yay! I have been gathering some birth stories that I wanted to share and today I am sharing Kennedy's birth. I met Destiny a couple of years ago when I was working on my "seasonal mommas" project for my studio. Basically I wanted to photograph one woman for each season, and since the seasons are so different, I wanted to use different ethnicities to represent each season. DJ was exactly what I was looking for to represent my spring goddess, and she accepted. As we planned for the session she became interested in a birth story. Before long I was on call for her!
