Reunion Camp Hope weekend.
Where the giggles don't seem like a betrayal to your grief. The faces you're seeing are renewing friendships, not meeting strangers.
This camp had a totally different feel than the ones I've been to where the kids are coming for the first time. They already recognized counselors, had friends and were aware of the endless cookies to be eaten all weekend.
I'm always grateful for the chance to witness all of the extraordinary humans during these weekends.
It gives hope and joy in a world that seems hopeless at the moment.

When you get to witness the most amazing couple become parents....for those few hours, the world doesn't seem that depressing.

I’m still here.
Still photographing beautiful babies being born.
Still capturing mothers and their children in ways I hope they’ll cherish forever.

But pretending the world isn’t heavy right now isn’t something I can do just to promote my work.

So I’m moving a little quieter. Take care of yourselves.

New year. New goals. New intentions. .....thus new blog post.

It's 2026, it's time for a reset

12/31/2025

Am I still doing birth photography? Sure am!
Am I being lazy this month and soaking up all the holiday festivities? Hell yes!
Do I suck at social media? You betcha!
I'll try not to suck so much in the new year! 🍾🎉
Model calls coming at ya in early January! Keep a look out!

Please stop comparing. Be kind. Give yourself grace. If everything doesn't get done, that's OK! (I'm totally also telling myself these things!)
Throw on a holiday movie, grab a comfy blanket and cuddle up! It's more about how we feel than how it looks. Cheers!

𝑵𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚!

I'm quiet as a mouse (unless you or your partner are chatty!)

I couldn't care 𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 about what your house, birth center, hospital room looks like! I can sneak around toys, wires, snacks, etc.

It's just me. No tag-a-longs, no assistants, no friends, dogs, etc. Just me and my trusty Canon!

As for unflattering photos. I guarantee, when you look at your birth photos, you won't see a double chin, or messy hair or wrinkles on your face, you'll see what you've accomplished. What you worked so hard for. Your strength and love.

Don't worry about me.
I got you!

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 — 𝐈 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲.

Birth is intense and vulnerable, and the idea of a camera in the room can feel… 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝.

Here’s how I work:

I’m quiet.

I stay out of the way.

I don’t direct anything.

You’re always in control of what’s photographed and what’s not.

Most moms end up telling me they barely noticed me.
And honestly, that’s the goal.

Birth photography isn’t about perfect angles or looking “ready.”
It’s about having a record of moments you might not remember later — because so much is happening at once.

You set the boundaries.
I respect them.

You don’t need to do anything special.
Just do your thing.
I’ll quietly take care of the rest.

𝑯𝒆𝒚 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒔! 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 (𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒔)?

Did you know that I offer GIFT CERTIFICATES?
Yup! Sure do!
You can ask for a family documentary session! Part or all of a birthing session! In-Studio Motherhood session! ALL THREE?!
Do it! Add it to your list!

I still wish I could have seen my husband's face when I was delivering our first son, when he realized that it wasn't like on TV, where the doctor is just under a sheet the whole time.
Later on he said "𝑰 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝒀𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑮!"

And I definitely wish I had a photographer in my house when I was in the thick of breastfeeding one kid and potty training the other while my husband was at work. I know it doesn't seem like it now.....but those moments, as bleak and exhausting as they are, you can look back on with humor and relief.

Don't forget about yourself this year.
This stuff is important, and you may not want those photos now.....but they absolutely will in the future.

Don't forget to buy a little something for yourself that will last much longer than the holiday season.
