My path to birth work

My passion and interest in birth work started when I was 11 years old and a show called Baby Boom came out, a reality show about pregnancy and birth, and yes, it was my favorite show to watch. I knew then and there I would work in the birth world one day, I just didn’t know how yet. I started college as a midwife nursing major but quickly realized that it was not my destiny. I ended up receiving my degree in education but knew I would go become a doula along the way. Through years of studying, listening to podcasts, hearing women's stories and diving deep into the history of obstetrics, I learned that my heart belongs with sovereign, uninterrupted births. I started my photography business in 2023 and mainly focused on maternity and weddings as well. I went and trained as a birth doula and decided to start a birth photography business.

my philosophy

My philosophy is grounded in the belief that the power of birth inherently belongs to the mother and her baby. As a birth attender and photographer, my role is not to dictate decisions or impose directions, but to and witness and capture the mother as she births in power. I hold that trust should always reside with the mother, affirming her autonomy and strength throughout the birthing process.
