Birth Support with photo & Film
Nothing would make me happier than walking with you through your birth journey and documenting it along the way. This duo combines my two joys of photographing AND supporting birthing couples through this beautiful transition into parenthood. While photojournalistically capturing the experience, I will also be acting as your doula and helping to safeguard your birthing space, identify interferences, and smooth the way for your movement through birth. My objective is to bring forth the strength, resilience, and power that you already hold.

Birth Film
$2399
I focus on documenting how your birth organically and uniquely unfolds as well as those first moments earth-side. The first look, cry (from everyone in the room!), and golden hour in your arms. These films include a 24/7 on-call window between 38-42 weeks gestation. After your birthing experience, a final film will be edited and delivered digitally. These projects typically include a mixture of authentic audio and licensed music. A preproduction meeting helps us partner together to create a film that captures what you hope to remember from this monumental transition.
Family Film
$1999
These in-home sessions are planned to essentially capture what your family might do on a beautiful Saturday together with no plans or responsibilities, focusing on moments that may currently seem insignificant but will later feel precious, from a morning routine like teeth brushing to packing a picnic lunch to nap or bedtime snuggles. We work together to create a loose itinerary of activities your family actually does together on a regular day. Lifestyle sessions are captured in a photojournalistic manner and preserve real life moments as opposed to portraiture. It’s centered around real life. The snuggling, chasing, cookie baking, wrestling, reading, activity filled life that you live.
A La Carte
Doula Support
Using different comfort measures, birthing techniques, and emotional support, I will help you and your partner experience a safe and satisfying childbirth as you define it. Meeting 3-4 times prenatally will deepen our connection and help me serve you in the highest regard. I also designate a 24/7 on call window between 38 and 42 weeks surrounding your EDD.
$1999
Family Lifestyle Session
Lifestyle sessions are captured in a photojournalistic manner at your home, and they preserve real life moments as opposed to portraiture, though brief family portraits can also be taken. These sessions center around the reality and beauty of your family routine. The snuggling, chasing, cookie baking, wrestling, reading, activity filled life that you live. AKA “A Day in the Life” Session
$699
Mini Session
These outdoor portrait sessions are posed using prompts and focus on capturing love-filled interaction within a shorter window of time. Mini Sessions are scheduled in advance at a specific location and sign ups are first-come-first-serve. Although many of the images are candid, the session is heavily directed, unlike a lifestyle session. It's a fun and efficient 30 minutes.
$299
Birth Photography
Hiring a birth photographer frees up your support team to be completely focused on you and your needs during labor while also capturing the raw emotion of the birthing experience from different perspectives, many of which you do not see or cannot remember.
$1499
Newborn Session
These lifestyle sessions are scheduled within 14 days of birth and document your precious newborn in the comfort of your home. Whether it be a calm and serene space or a wild room filled with siblings, I will capture this phase of life as it unfolds.
$499
Generational Session
All are welcome at a Generational Session, which includes mini sessions for each nuclear family, photos of the extended family as a whole, and various combinations of your group together. This gives every individual family diverse professional portraits as well as keepsakes of everyone together. This is a great gift option for grandparents!
$899
Birth Plan Consultation
Talking through your hopes, dreams, and medical preferences is essential for a better birth outcome, but there is a lot to navigate and consider along the way. Together we will create a birth philosophy and list of preferences that reflect your deep desires for this upcoming experience. This includes unmedicated birth through scheduled cesarean and everything in between.
$199
BRM® ASSESSMENT
As a certified Body Ready Method® Pro, I will assist you becoming “Body Ready” for your upcoming birth, which in turn will create a more functional body for life. After assessing alignment, compensation patterns, and talking through past body experiences, you’ll learn what tools to incorporate into your routine for optimal core engagement, proper alignment, and the best route to pelvic health. You’ll receive a 30 day calendar unique to you with descriptions of what to do for each exercise. These tools done prenatally greatly impact a birth outcome and postpartum healing journey.
$399
Postpartum Care & BRM®
This home visit for new parents includes a 2 hour meeting as well as 1 hour of hands-off care. While we sip our coffee or tea, we’ll check-in with your physical body and allow space to process your unique birthing experience. After a Body Ready Method® assessment, I will provide you with movement tools to practice daily to promote optimal healing tailored to your body and birth story. Hands-off care would apply to dishes, tidying up, sibling or pet care, etc. These sessions are booked individually or bundled (3 sessions - $1099) *Each visit includes a home-cooked, nutrient dense meal for your family.
