27 years ago I fell in love with birth, and its lived deep within my soul ever since. As seasons change, and years pass, I find myself continually shedding layers that no longer serve or nourish the most authentic version of myself.
While some of my seasons have been spent practicing as a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor, doula and lactation consultant, and others have been wearing the title of homeschool mama- my passion for growing families and photography has always remained constant; weaving a beautiful thread of birth work throughout my life.
To me, birth, in all its forms, is a deeply sacred journey. It's not just about meeting your baby, or a new chapter unfolding, but it's also a profound rite of passage unlike anything else; It's mystical and intelligent, messy and beautiful, wild and raw, and where the veil between Heaven and Earth is thinnest.
I find that it's in these unscripted moments of strength and connection, deep uncertainty and overwhelming love, that the magic happens.
My job is to beautifully capture this complexity while holding space for your story to unfold.
My passion for birth is built on the foundation that the journey into motherhood, whether it be for your 1st or your 12th time, is deeply transformational and you deserve to be celebrated, elevated, heard, and witnessed every step of your way.

When Rob proposed it hailed, when we got married it snowed, and now, perfectly timed, in the middle of a 2017 snow storm, I gave birth of our firstborn; a beautiful baby girl, born in the comfort of our own home. It was the most incredible and empowering day of my life to date.
Since then, I've been blessed to give birth three more times. Each one has stretched and transformed me to my very core, and in different ways than my births previous.
My second birth was the most humbling and transformative experience of my life. My third, the most unexpected, yet beautiful, and my fourth, my most peaceful and healing.
Birth, in all its forms, changes us, and that, although often hard and messy, is what makes it beautiful.
My own birth stories
I've given birth at home, in the hospital, and in water.
