Birth Photography. Sacred + Uncensored.
The censorship of childbirth and the silencing of our narratives has disconnected us from our innate strength.
Through honest & visceral imagery, I help parents to take ownership of their birth experiences, and bear witness to their own unrivaled power.

Austin Birth Photographer & Full Spectrum Doula
based in Central Texas serving Austin, Round Rock, Dripping Springs & beyond
It seems only fair that if you will be inviting me into such a vulnerable space, I should invite you into mine. That’s me over there. I am holding my two youngest just minutes after my 5th babe was born unassisted into my waiting hands on the bathroom floor.
My obsession with and knowledge of birth extends far beyond my role as a photographer, and I humbly think that makes me an incredible asset to your birth team. I find the physiological process of birth endlessly fascinating, and I never want to stop learning about it. In this work, my knowledge and trust in birth means I feel completely at ease in your birth space. As of 2021, I am proud to say that I am also ready and able to provide full spectrum doula support in addition to, or separate from, photography & films. This support extends to people through any reproductive experience, including conception, pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, abortion, and unexpected loss.
I believe our stories are changing the world. I share my own because I’ve seen firsthand the ripple effect it can have, encouraging other people to re-claim their rightful power over birth as well.
“Somehow what you draw out of the moment is like reading a poem or a book. Your sense of what is important is breathtaking. A million details jump out toward my senses and make me want to look more... feel more than I might at first glance. Each one is like a little key to a different part of the heart. ”
