Newborn

Even though I love to go to clients homes to photograph their newborn baby or their growing little Chickadee, there are many circumstances where that isn’t the best location for their child’s session. Which is why I’ve created this ‘At Home’ space for clients to bring their baby to, where we can create the same […]

Birth Story

Here is a common question I hear, in one form or another, from people considering birth photography: Q: ‘I feel like I will really want birth story photos after my baby is born, but I’m not sure I want more people in the delivery room while it’s actually happening–does that make sense?’ A: Oh yes, […]

FAQ: What if I don’t want another person in the delivery room?

Big changes ahead for this sweet family! Changes that include a change of scenery for their home port, and so to celebrate their time here in the PNW we arranged a family session at Point No Point beach. Around the same time last year we did a session when their little one was about to […]

Motherhood

I could hardly wait to get to Michigan to visit my friend who just relocated there from her home here in WA. Although our friendship is relatively new, Sara is just one of those special people who makes me feel like I’ve known her forever. She is also the master photographer behind my family photos […]

First Year

As we planned for Milo’s 6month Session, Mama asked if we could do a Milk Bath Session to celebrate another milestone: Six Month Breastfeeding! I was immediately on board–I breastfed one of my children too and I remember how huge six months felt and wanted to honor those feelings for this family. I’ve seen these […]

First Year

Oh how wonderful it is to watch a little one grow up! Sometimes it can be a little bittersweet to see it happen so quickly, but that’s what these Chickadee Sessions are all about: celebrating and remembering every little phase of that first year of growth. And Milo is growing so much and so well! […]

Family

Even though I specialize in birth story photography, I always love to capture growing families at any stage. This sweet family is getting ready to welcome a new child through adoption and asked me to take some family portraits to include in their portfolio–a step I remember very well from our own adoptions! What a […]

Birth

What an honor to help support this family through their birth story! I spent 22 hours with them from the time I arrived at their home, anticipating their home birth, then when complications arose joining them at the hospital to deliver there, through delivery and then into the recovery room to meet sister! It was a […]
