This Sunday I turn 42.
Sometimes life has a way of shifting you so deeply that age stops feeling like a limitation and starts feeling more like a beginning.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had moments that reminded me exactly who I am, what I’m called to, and where my heart has been leading me for a long time.
Every birth I attend changes me in some way. Sometimes I leave completely in awe of a mother being supported, heard, and able to birth the way she hoped. Other times, I leave heartbroken, knowing another mother was failed by a system just like I was.
I know I can’t change birth for every mother in the world, even though I wish I could. But I can make a difference for some.
So this is my sappy little announcement that things are shifting around here.
I have decided it is time to pursue midwifery.
This is something I have thought about for years, but I always talked myself out of it. I told myself the timing wasn’t right, that it was too much, that maybe doula work was “enough.” But sometimes God makes it very clear when it’s time to stop ignoring the pull.
I will still be serving families as a birth and postpartum doula, birth and motherhood photographer, and breastfeeding counselor. But photography will be taking a smaller role as I make space for this next chapter.
Moving forward, I’ll only be taking a very limited number of photography sessions each week, aside from families who book me for doula and photography support together.
I’ll be sharing updated offerings soon, including a more simple session option at a lower cost as photography shifts away from being my main focus. (I'll still have a crazy fast turn around I promise ;-)
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, supported me, prayed for me, and loved our family through all the twists and turns.
Here’s to 42, new beginnings, and finally saying yes. ❤️
Cue all of the "I told you so's" and "saw that coming" from all of my friends 😘
