The Birth of Primrose

December 23, 2020

Kaitlyn reached out to me via Instagram after seeing some birth photography by me, and hearing about me from her fab midwife, Morgan Gaines of Flourish Midwifery. We chatted over email, then phone to answer all her questions…the holidays came and went, January we chatted about my coming to meet her and her husband Jimmy […]

Looking back at Amanda’s birth story with her Everett after 365 days around the sun, I still can feel the energy in that room! So much strength in that body, so much love and sacred space for a baby that both Amanda and Charlie had waited patiently for. And the connection between Amanda and Charlie, […]

April 26th will always have a special place in my heart – it marks the very first time I photographed a birth and my life as a photographer and as a human changed forever! This kiddo and the Card family are now part of my life forever – poor kid will probably always wonder why […]

Emerson is Born!

Ever wondered what true bliss looks like? This is it ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!! As you may know, I first started photographing births in April 2016 and what a wild, wild ride it has been! I have learned SO much in 1 year: the difference between dilating and effacing, that a “due date” is completely irrelevant and should […]

Harlan is Born!

May 2, 2016

Last Tuesday, April 26th at 5:38 pm I got the text that I had been awaiting for weeks:”Contractions 7 minutes apart…” My heart raced and adrenaline coursed through my body, hands shaking with excitement as I prepared to race out the door to Wentworth Douglass hospital to photograph the birth of Jamie’s third child. I’ve […]

I have so many sessions to blog, but I had to start with this most recent one! Chris and Bri have a special place in my heart. I photographed their wedding just a few years ago (see blog post HERE), and then I got to photograph their first daughter Teagan in July 2014. Fast forward […]

you're in!
