i take a connection-centered approach to my work and think it is incredibly important to truly know who you're working with and who you allow into your space.
i wish i could be the final girl of the scream franchise.
My go-to playlist on Spotify has My Chemical Romance, Darius Rucker, and the Hamilton soundtrack.
I'd eat sushi every day for the rest of my life if I could.
Fun Facts
i didn't hire a birth photographer...
wanna see more?
a little bit about me...
which, looking back feels like it was something I should’ve made happen no matter what.
I know what it’s like to be sitting up with my newborn at 3am. They’ve fallen asleep at the boob and yet, I miss them.
I’m scrolling through all these photos that I have of them from the moment they were born. Blurry, dark, not so great photos that I will treasure for the rest of my life because it was the moment I became their mom.
Birth is so freakin’ badass.
It’s beautiful and empowering and really freaking cool.

but you will not catch me at the beach
↠ Birth nerd (obviously)
↠ Lives off of iced coffee
↠ Almost exclusively wears black
↠ My hair is probably not the same color as these photos
↠ Bibliophile
↠ Podcasts, live music, and binging TV shows is my jam
↠ Gemini sun/moon and Cancer rising
(if you're into that sort of thing)
I don’t want you to have to sit and stare at blurry photos that maybe your partner or doula managed to grab last second as an afterthought.
I will be the one that helps the relive one of the greatest days of their lives.
I will provide those memories for you for years and years to come.
While I'm done having my own babies, I am literally going to be your growing family's biggest fan. Tbh, I'll most likely cry at your birth. (It's the Cancer rising in me, I'm emotional okay?!)
i don't want you to forget that moment.

total birth + breastfeeding nerd
Goodness gracious, I love birth. I have been pregnant and/or breastfeeding since March of 2018! I am one of those weirdos that loves being pregnant but also totes understand when it's hard and not always glamorous. I see you. Also being an avid reader, I have a plethora of pregnancy, birth, and parenting books. Seriously, I could probably open up a library. I'm happy to geek out over birth with you and love to hear about your journey.

tattooed elder emo
In true millenial fashion, I am tattooed, have stretched ears, and listen to the same pop punk bands I did in the early 2000s. If this is also you, we can chat about the good ole days forever and bond over our favorite bands.
all birthing bodies
I am supportive of ALL birthing bodies. We're LGBTQIA+ friendly over here and I welcome all birthing families and their partners from all ethnicities and walks of life. I promise a safe space for you and your birth.
