For those who want their birthing day documented I always suggest we meet first! It’s good to speak face to face and get to know each other a little before I document one of the best days of your life! This meeting includes a mini maternity session so you can get a feel for being in front of my lens. I want you to see yourself in my images so you can trust me to capture this life altering moment! The birth of your baby is a hard exhausting day. But it’s a day full of real raw emotion and incredibly beautiful connections. I have been documenting births for over 10 years and it’s becoming more and more popular, but I am aware that it’s still in the process of gaining traction. I still get a lot of people give me a weird look when they find out I am a birth photographer. So if you are someone who hasn’t really seen a birth story, and perhaps are raising your eyebrow about the whole thing, then I encourage you to watch some birth stories! After watching just one, you’ll know exactly why people want this life changing experience documented!
If you are interested in having your birth documented, contact me and I can send you all the information! Then scroll down to see pictures from some recent birth meetings at different times of the year!

{birth stories}

Two days ago I celebrated 10 years of documenting births!! And honestly, never ever in a million years did I think that I would go on to be a birth photographer/videographer who is getting close to documenting 100 births! After all, 10 years ago I was just heading to India to continue documenting the relationship between wildlife and humans which I had been doing on my travels around the world (I am slowly working on getting those photos up here: Projects).
However, after our trip to India, I learned that we were going to have a baby. So naturally the whole experience of having a baby of my own opened up a whole new world to me with new passions. These passions led me down a path to the birth world where I knew women were in need of a voice, and support, and sometimes healing. So here I am, 10 years later still working hard to help normalize birth and heal wounds. With the help of these wonderful families who invite me in to their sacred spaces, who allow me to share their stories with you, I can assure you there has been change!
When I first started doing this, it was unheard of! Other than midwives being super supportive and excited about what I was doing, there was mostly confusion as to why anyone would want this experience documented, and a lot of concerned staff that were not that welcoming towards me as they were worried I was documenting them working. But after building relationships with hospital staff, and with some education from all sides, here we are 10 years later and now birth photography has become quite popular! I’m even welcomed in the O.R for c-sections most of the time!!
We still have a long way to go to make sure pregnant, birthing, and postpartum folks are respected and heard, so I don’t imagine I will be quitting this type of photography any time soon. But in celebration of this milestone, let me share with you, some gorgeous loving births to watch! Maybe check the flyers of your local stores for sales on boxes of tissue before you start pressing play, ha ha ha! Enjoy! And feel free to share this with all the expecting parents you know!
