Because these moments deserve more than just a quick phone snap.

Six years ago, I canceled my newborn session. 

My oldest had just been born and postpartum ROCKED my world. 

I was bleeding, engorged, and way too torn. I had crippling anxiety and sobbed at the drop of a hat. And on top of all of that... I was sleep deprived and trying to figure out how to take care of this precious new baby. 

I cancelled on the photographer with my first.

Never hired one with my second baby.

Once my second baby arrived just 20 months after my first, I was SO overwhelmed. I practically had two babies - two in diapers, two not talking, two needing 100% of my attention 100% of the time.

I think I blacked out for a couple of years, because I hardly remember my second as a baby at all. 

I have so many regrets. 

I think I was just so overwhelmed to even think about hiring that photographer. I wanted someone who knew what I was going through and would treat everything with gentleness and kindness. 

So, I launched my photography business in 2021. 
I started with weddings, but I wasn't passionate about those. They were long days away from my family - and they're all kind of the same. 
I attended my first birth in the fall of 2021 and immediately knew that's the space I wanted to be in. Not to sound cheesy, but it lit my soul on fire. 

Life is so precious. Families are so precious and each one unique. Babies change so fast! Let's slow down time for a bit so that you can remember every. little. detail. <3
