HAVING A BABY IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TIMES IN your LIFE!! 

My goal through Birth Stories and Newborn sessions is to capture this time as you welcome this sweet new baby into your life. Pregnancy and birth is so beautiful and I want to help you remember it! I want you to feel gorgeous and strong! I want you to be able to share photos with your child as they grow up and have children of their own one day. 

BABIES CHANGE AND GROW SO FAST!

2021 Booking + covid-19 update

Due to COVID-19 and the changing regulations in hospitals, from here on out I am only booking birth stories for those mamas planning a home birth.

If you are interested in a home birth but have questions or need a recommendation for a local midwife please reach out! I would love to chat with you! Home birth has been such a blessing to me and my family so I love sharing what I've learned and experienced.

For those mamas planning a hospital birth, I am still offering maternity and in-home newborn lifestyle sessions!

Birth is incredibly intimate and special

When I have the privilege to capture a birth story, it is one of the greatest honors and I do not take it lightly! To be able to celebrate with your family on your little one's birth day fills my heart with so much joy!

I aim to become friends with every mom! The last thing you need during your birth is someone you aren't comfortable with, because let's get real, things are about to get really real that day! ha! Know that most likely I'll cry tears of joy with you, ask to hold your little one for just a tiny bit before I head home, and I will celebrate with you for being so freakin' strong and amazing!

I'll grab a puke bucket for you, hold your drink, braid your hair, wipe your forehead with a cold cloth, and pray for you! Let's be real, I'm tearing up writing this as I think about all the past mamas I've worked with because good grief, I am so thankful for being a part of their stories and I can't wait to play a tiny part in your story too!

Emily was the perfect mixture of calm and excited for my delivery. She was able to take the most beautiful and intimate photographs without me even knowing she was in the room. I love how Emily caught the very essence of the day through genuine and candid photos. She was more than a birth photographer to me. She felt like a part of my birthing team silently cheering me on through every contraction. I am so glad I chose Emily to capture the moments my family became complete.

I can’t say enough about how thrilled I am that I went with a birth photographer for Isla’s birth! Emily captured all the moments I want to cherish forever; things I wouldn’t have been able to capture myself. Most importantly, I got to be 100% present in the moment and so did Brandon! We got to enjoy our quick delivery, the special hours of snuggles after, and watching our big boy transitioning into a big brother. Emily was great, supportive (getting me ice chips and handing me a puke bucket type of supportive! haha), and obviously enjoyed every second she spent with us! We are thrilled with our images and recommend Emily to anyone!

I never thought birth photography would be something I would be interested in. I thought Josh and the rest of the family would take some pictures and we would at least have some of our baby after he was born. Then I started looking on Pinterest at all the different birth photography stories and we decided that maybe it would work for us. I got a lot of weird looks and questions about why I would want someone photographing the birth of our son but I'm fairly certain our images speak for themselves as to why we made this decision. Our photos aren't just pictures, they are memories that we will cherish our entire lives.
