Why Me?

Why hire me, a 20 something mother and postpartum nurse to be your PHOTOGRAPHER?!

Connection

I am there during the first hours of a mother and baby's first meeting

Those sacred hours

Remember them? They may be a blur

I know the rawness of those hours but also the tenderness

I listen to little hearts and how they steady to their mother's voice and touch

I live and breathe for that connection

The connection between mother and child

The connection of family

Days, weeks, years later, when the roots are deeper, I meet with you and document your ineffable bonds

I give you images to treasure and look back on and say "remember when..."

I document details you may one day forget

Because I know time is fleeting; babies grow into children; children grow into adults

And these transitory periods need to be recorded

That is why you should hire me, a 20 something mother and postpartum nurse to be your photographer. I am living and breathing and aching to remember these moments just like you.
