THIS IS YOUR BIRTH STORY. 

Your birth space is so sacred + vulnerable. 

So it only makes sense that if you are inviting me into yours, that I invite you into mine. 

I delivered our rainbow baby earth side in June of 2021.

^ After 30 hours of labor, here is my hubby and I as we embraced our son for the first time. 

​

My labor felt like quite the journey.  My body struggled to dilate but I was trusting in God's plan. I prayed for an unmedicated birth but I knew

I had to remain open + flexible with my desired birth plan. I ended up receiving an epidural after 24 hours into labor + being 8 cm dilated.

It was the hardest decision I had to make because I had made it this far without it. 

BUT ultimately, I had to choose what was best for me.  I was able to regain energy to deliver our boy and my goodness it was  breathtaking .

I have heard the Mothers before me say " Once you push your baby out, it's almost as if all your pain is a distant  memory."

And they were right. It was this rush of relief, joy,  empowerment of I JUST DID THAT! , and this shift in my heart

that this little peanut crying on my chest, covered in vernix ,was ours.  Our sweet little miracle was here. 

​

Although I have photographed births before my own, going through such an incredible experience myself,

grew my love and desire to want to document more of other mamas stories. I have become obsessed with birth and postpartum.....

So starting 2022 I am excited to embark on the journey to work towards my doula certification to offer even more support within the birth space. 

​

It is HARD. It is real. It is RAW. It is candid and oh so beautiful. 

​

Even in a room of what  seems like chaos, I remain calm and grounded to provide a safe space for my mamas.  

I want to capture each woman's strength through every surge, how their support team embraces them and the moment they experience

holding their little nugget for the first time.
