Since I first discovered the world of birth work, I have been enthralled by the beautiful images captured in those spaces. These precious, once in a lifetime moments are frozen in time, a testament to the love and fierceness it took to bring this new life into the world.

I was lucky enough to have my friend, the incomparable Kaity Body, photograph the births of my two children. Those images are something that I am so grateful for. I love looking back to see, not just my kiddos being born, but also the love and support from those around me.

Because of this, I love to help families capture these moments. If requested, I bring my camera to births I attend as a doula and snap as many photos as I can in those quiet moments. I especially love capturing moments between the birthing person and their partner or support person. The tenderness and love melts my heart every time.

This all being said, I am NOT a professional birth photographer. It’s something that I deeply love to do, but I cannot guarantee you perfectly- edited, heirloom quality birth photos. Birthing spaces are unpredictable, and often dark, making them tricky to capture. Also, if I’m your doula, your comfort and support are my first priority. I do my very best to capture photos that you’ll love, but I want to make sure you know what you’re getting! The Calgary area is full of incredible birth photographers. If you are looking for a legit professional, let me know! I’d be happy to recommend some amazing photographers that might fit the bill for you.

If you’d like to add photography or additional edited images to your doula package, or you are interested in hiring me just as a photographer, let’s chat!
