Birth Photography
Your family story; from the very beginning Birth photography is not just capturing the moment of birth, but all the little moments you didn't notice or soon forgot, that together make up your whole birth experience. I am a certified professional raw birth photographer with a passion for creating birth art, I received my MA from UC Berkley and have since used the knowledge and skills obtained to deliver high quality images for many families throughout the last 10+ years and counting. It is critically important to me to not just own a professional camera and the needed equipment but to be a professional BEHIND the camera. I work hard to keep my editing up to date, my skill set in line with other high quality professionals and to ensure the trust placed in me to DELIVER is not taken lightly. From the moment I arrive I am working diligently to capture every moment worth savoring forever. My goal in capturing your birth is to suspend every little detail there in time, from the beginning of contractions raging through your bones to the crowning moment, from your tiny little ones first squeaky cries down to their little toe beans and every wrinkle and touch of vernix in between. Capturing every ounce of raw emotion that fills the birthing space is what I do. My birth photography is NOT just a few images of a day that forever changed you, because you deserve more than that. This is documentary photography that elevates the experience of your birth to fine art levels. This package is just photography. LABOR|BIRTH|FRESH FORTY-EIGHT Package includes 150+ professionally captured and edited images delivered within seven days of your little ones birth. you will also receive 5-7 images within 24 hours of birth to use for birth announcement.

Haley has been such an incredible part of both of my birth experiences, and I truly cannot imagine going through pregnancy and childbirth without her. She was my doula for my daughter two years ago and did such an amazing job that there was never a question that I wanted her by my side again for my most recent pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, Haley was always available to answer my questions and ease my worries whenever anxiety set in. She showed up for what felt like a million false alarms and patiently supported me through two weeks of prodromal labor. She was there through every uncertain moment without ever making me feel like a burden or inconvenience. She even managed to capture my maternity photos right before a thunderstorm! When the time finally came to have our baby, things became very intense very quickly. I experienced a tough and incredibly fast labor and delivery, with both babies’ heart rates dropping and complications occurring during the birth. Haley was an amazing source of support throughout everything. After I experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, Haley and her backup doula, Savannah, continued caring not only for me but also for my husband and son while everything was happening. Her care didn’t stop after delivery. Haley captured beautiful Fresh 48 and hospital sibling photos, provided care for my daughter while I recovered before being discharged, and later took newborn and sibling photos that we will cherish forever. She also recently updated our family photos, with a special focus on capturing how much our family has grown and giving us the opportunity to look back and remember the journey that brought us here. Haley is so much more than a doula and photographer, she has become such a meaningful part of our family’s story. From supporting me through two pregnancies and births to capturing some of the most important and emotional moments of our lives, she has been there through it all. I will forever be grateful for her compassion, patience, support, and the beautiful memories she has given our family. I truly cannot recommend Haley enough. 💕

There's so much to say about Haley so I hope I can make this all fit. She was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. For my postpartum she was there as a postpartum live-in doula the moment I called until she and I both knew I was ready to be 100% on my own. My husband was deployed when I had my little babe, so Haley had big shoes to fill & she did just that. She did everything from verbally encouraging me through my transition, to physically helping me where I needed it the most. She helped prep my meals for the days to come, she helped with my little one so I could eat on my own, shower or get some time to myself to just breathe. She was extremely understanding, sweet, compassionate & my voice when I needed to be heard. Without her, I'm not sure how my first weeks would have been. She made it so much easier for me to transition into this new role of being a mom. 
She also took AMAZING newborn photos of my little babe & they are something that I will forever cherish. They captured every little detail and precious memory of my baby. She was so gentle and excellent with him. During the photos he never once made a noise and was completely comfortable the entire time. She handled everything so flawlessly from one thing to the next, you could really tell she was comfortable and knew what she was doing which allowed me to put so much trust into her & I couldn't be more grateful for her. When we decide to have another baby, Haley is the first person I am calling and I would 100% recommend her to any family or friends having a baby. She truly makes you'r experience one of kind and removes all the stress
