a beautiful birth story starts with beautiful maternity images. I so wish i had some images made when I was pregnant with each of my four children. I found a few (not so great) snapshots , and I’m at least happy to have those.

I love photographing maternity sessions for my birth clients because it’s a great time for us to connect and get to know each other before the big birth day happens. Much like an engagement session is to a wedding, I find these appointments so beneficial.

Birth is such a personal experience, and it is my heart to make every woman feel as comfortable with me being in the room. It’s also important for fathers to be cool with me being in the birth space as this is all new for him as well!

 

these next few images were taken by one of my awesome back up birth photographers, Laura Lyn. 

I’m so thankful for this amazing industry of people who back each other up and deliver stellar work!

Then I was able to go the next day for a sweet fresh baby session.

these tiny toes against the postpartum belly that just days before housed her

I think she is going to be a daddy’s girl!

I am so excited to watch her grow and see your little family flourish!!
