Documenting Your Birth
How amazing is it that your child will one day get to see the joy on her mother’s face the moment she was born? And how wonderful that a mother and her family can look back at those transformative events over and over and relive the journey, this time seeing things she may have missed: a partner’s supportive touch, a sibling’s amazement, the love in mama’s eyes as she sees her babe for the first time.
You already know you want your birth documented. You want a beautiful visual record of these life-changing moments, and you want it done by someone with years of experience. Someone who you can trust to be what you need at your birth and to deliver a story you will love. Someone who respects that however your birth unfolds, it is your story and it deserves to be artfully told .
Documenting Your Birth
Birth photography is my favorite part of my work. How amazing is it that your child will one day get to see the joy on her mother’s face the moment she was born? And how wonderful that a mother and her family can look back at those transformative events over and over and relive the journey, this time seeing things she may have missed: a partner’s supportive touch, a sibling’s amazement, the love in mama’s eyes as she sees her babe for the first time.
Birth photography is about story-telling and celebrating the creation of, or addition to, a family. Birth is a journey, and whatever shape that journey takes, it is a story worth telling. I want you to love your story.

As a birth doula, I had seen Jess at many births and was awed at how she balanced her incredible skill at capturing the emotions of births, while also maintaining a

Client Slideshows & Films
THE BIRTH OF SHELBY
This full video (and yes, it's a long one!) tells the story of Jordan's third out-of-hospital birth and first home birth. This birth truly felt like a party that happened to end with a beautiful baby. Eastside Birth Center midwives attended this birth, along with doula Kristin Dibeh.
THE BIRTH OF LUNA
Chieu and Brian planned a birth center birth, but when labor stretched on for days, they elected to go to the hospital and eventually it was decided that a C-section was the best choice. Brian took my camera into the OR and did a great job of capturing Luna's birth moment. This is an example of a photography-only birth.
The Birth of George
A fusion of film and stills telling George’s beautiful birth story. This peaceful Seattle-area home birth was attended by Sarah of Snohomish Midwives. George was born to Jordan and Mark with all three of their older children in the room watching.
The Birth of Declan
The photos-only slideshow of Declan’s powerful birth at Center for Birth in Seattle. Declan was Aimee and Jackie’s first child and he couldn’t have been welcomed with more love. This birth was attended by Heather of Seattle Home Maternity.
The Birth of Thomas
This photo slideshow tells Thomas’ hospital birth story. Thomas arrived in a hurry, much to the amazement of Lani and Doug.
Montgomery’s Story
A full film documenting the Snow family a few days before Montgomery was born, during her fast home birth, and a few days after. I love getting to tell the FULL story.
The Birth of Zachary
This story is a fusion of film and stills. Zachary had a Cesarean birth, but I was allowed to document the moments after the birth and then later as he settled in at home.
The Birth of Henry
Roxy and Chris welcomed their fourth baby (surprise! it’s a boy!) at home on a sunny October day in Seattle. This happy birth was attended by Heather of Seattle Home Maternity and Kate of Let It Be Birth.
