Birth.

Motherhood. Family. Connection. These are the stories and seasons I serve. Some moments deserve more than a smartphone snap. They deserve to be remembered clearly—with care, artistry, and truth. I specialize in documenting and supporting the earliest chapters of family life, when everything is raw, fleeting, and unforgettable. With over a decade of experience and 200+ births behind me, I bring both professional skill and personal understanding into every space I enter. My work includes:

Birth Photography — 24/7 on-call coverage, honoring the real story of your baby’s birth day

Fresh 48 — in-hospital newborn photography, preserving the tenderness of your first hours together

Organic In-Home Newborn Photography — lifestyle storytelling in the comfort of your own space

Doula Support — evidence-based guidance, hands-on comfort, and steady presence through labor and postpartum

Lactation Counseling — certified support for feeding challenges, pumping, and nursing with confidence

Birth Education — practical, empowering classes to prepare for labor, postpartum recovery, and newborn care

Portraits in Becoming — flexible, documentary sessions that honor every season of motherhood: maternity, breastfeeding, newborn, and family connection

Most of my services are available to families across western North Dakota, with birth photography coverage focused on Bismarck, Dickinson, and Hettinger hospitals, and home births considered individually. Because birth is powerful, not perfect. Because motherhood is messy and magical. And because your story matters—today, tomorrow, and for the generations who will look back on these photographs.

✈️ What the HECK???

Ok, but for real, if you need just a few family photos for Christmas cards…

Got a pregnancy to announce, a gender to reveal…

Toddler milestones or “just because” mommy & me…

These are for you. Short and sweet, savoring this autumn light. 🍂

☕️ Quick—you’re at the window, what’s your order??? Mine’s pretty boring: iced vanilla latte breve, sometimes half-sweet, depending where I’m at—but I’m always open to trying new things.

My kids would say I’m at the coffee shop every day, to which I heartedly protest because I’m a baller on a budget whom actually usually settles for coffee at home. 😆 But I do love that occasional free drink when those points rack up!

If you’re doing motherhood without a soft place to land, that’s not “just a season.” Guh, I hate this thought-stopping cliche, "It's just a seeeeeason."

It's heavy and you don’t have to slap toxic positivity over it. You’re allowed to call it hard.

Dickinson and SWND moms—real breastfeeding support is officially available right here, no drive required.

I'm a certified lactation counselor serving Dickinson moms through Milkyways Doula & Lactation Services, and I have in-person appointments available every single week—in your home on Tuesdays and at Simnioniw Family Chiropractic on Wednesdays.

No drive to Bismarck. No waiting three weeks for an opening. Just real, practical support from someone who knows how hard it can be and will stick with you to find real, sustainable solutions.

If that last bullet on the "should" list is you— the one who just needs someone to tell her she's doing a great job—that counts too—telling moms they're doing a great job is my favorite part of all of my visits.

📲 Text the scheduling line at 701.581.4504 to make an appointment.

It’s not always easy for us to slow down.
Resting can feel lazy when there’s always more to do. But we're learning that real strength isn’t about pushing—it’s about knowing when to stop.

When we rest, we heal.
When we pause, we hear.
When we let ourselves breathe, we have more to give.

💛 Rest is an act of strength.

Breastfeeding doesn't always come easy. And when it's hard, it's 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. Like, 𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 hard...

Breastfeeding doesn't always come easy. And when it's hard, it's 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥. Like, 𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 hard.

If you're white-knuckling it through painful latches, supply anxiety, or just scrolling lactation TikTok at 3am hoping to find that one trick that will make things better—well, that's exactly what we're here for.

Milkyways Doula & Lactation Services now has in-person lactation support available right here in Dickinson, in partnership with Simnioniw Family Chiropractic.

Home visits—Tuesdays, 9–11 AM
Office visits at SFC—Wednesdays, 11 AM–1 PM

You don't have to drive to Bismarck, you don't have to figure it out alone. To make an appointment, simply shoot us a text at 701.581.4504 to get on the schedule.

There’s no schedule for becoming. Some babies sleep through the night early, some don’t. Some moms find their stride in week two, others in year two.

You are not behind.
You and your baby are finding your own rhythm—perfectly on time for you.

📸 Every story unfolds in its own tempo. Every parenting rhythm sounds a little different.
