Oh Hey!

I am your average Bozeman gal – living the life, the mom life!

Growing up in Bozeman and meeting my husband as a kid, means I have some serious love for this place.

Please allow me the honor of documenting your big moments here!

I can’t wait to meet you…

Breastfeeding... It's not easy... . . Let me say first that one of the reasons I wanted another baby was to have another shot at a great nursing bond. My oldest didn't nurse long and supplemented the entire time, my middle nursed for a solid 16-17 months, it was beautiful and hard and exhausting, but I loved it. My youngest had health issues (and still does) and was unable to nurse or really eat much of anything. . . Is it selfish of me to want another chance at it? To try hard to push through the pain and frustration? Please share some input on your breastfeeding journey, your power pumping your weigh-ins... I know there is a Mama out there that needs to hear it🤗 . . #breastfeeding #nursing #nursling #feedthebaby #babytime #homebirthbozeman #homebirth #midwife #birthphotographer #birth #birthisnormal #birthphotos #birthphotography #bozeman #montana #belgrade #gallatinvalley #pitocin #preparation #readytogo #midwifery #bornathome #comfortsofhome #stayathome #birthisbirth #amazing

H O M E ✨ B I R T H . . Throughout my journey of almost 5 years (😳) of birth photography, I have come to realize that there is a lot of questions and preconcieved thoughts about home births. The biggest one being safety. . . I would love to open up a safe conversation for questions about home birth and invite people who have had them, want them, or midwives who attend them to chime in and help facilitate this discussion. . . Ultimately birth should feel as comfortable for you, after all it is YOUR birth. One thing I like to point out is that midwives come to your home prepared for all sorts of scenarios. They come with oxygen, monitors, fetal dopplers, and many of the things you would see in any other birth scene, including pitocin for after you have delivered your baby. . . Pictured here is a midwife in training attending a home birth and getting ready for delivery. Each item placed where it should and carefully making sure all is ready for whatever might be presented. . . #homebirthbozeman #homebirth #midwife #birthphotographer #birth #birthisnormal #birthphotos #birthphotography #bozeman #montana #belgrade #gallatinvalley #pitocin #preparation #readytogo #midwifery #bornathome #comfortsofhome #stayathome #birthisbirth #amazing

As I gear up for another birth, I again am humbled and grateful for the trust I am given to be present in such a monumental time. . . If you have not booked your birth yet, I have a few due dates left for the remainder of 2019 and am already booking well into 2020! . . I would love to sit down and have coffee, burgers, nachos or whatever and discuss what it looks like to have me on your birth team. . . #bozemanbirthphotographer #bozemanmontana #Birthphotography #bozeman #belgrade #livingston #montana #photographer #photography #duedates #duedate #maternity #babytime #newbornbaby #newbornphotography #maternityphotography #babiesaremyjam #lovemyjob #humbled #gratitude #trustiseverything #trust

A midwife is so much more than just catching your baby... . . As many of you know I am going for a birth center birth this time around with @bozemanbirthcenter - Pictured here is Kayla one of the midwives. I am so happy to be working with her and Jazmin on a personal level rather than with birth photography, I am seeing a side of them I knew was there but had not quite experienced yet. . . My first time trying for a natural birth was at the hospital, it was 5 years ago next week and I had no idea what I was doing, I lacked experience in Birth photography and had never really put much though into prepping for a natural birth. Like most of my life, I was winging it! . . I look back now and know exactly what I did wrong #allofit ... But also I didn't have my husband in the know about a natural birth, so he was pretty frightened and exhausted when I was onto day 2 of labor and genuinely thought I was going to die. . . Walking into the birth center feels comfortable for me, and the births I have witnessed have prepared me well, so THANK YOU to my clients who are now like family for paving the way for me to have a birth center baby🤗🤞 . .

As a Mom of 3, and someonw who has been shooting births in the valley (and around the state) for nearly 5 years I certainly do understand. . . I understand the truat that is involved with this profession, the level of intimacy and emotion that is involved and more importantly how incredibly honored I am to be asked to join a birth team. . . Birth is THE most monumental time in your life. No matter how you birth, it is life changing. To give yourself, your partner and the rest of your team permission to be fully present in the birth process by hiring a birth photographer is hands down one of the most magical gifts. . . Booking 2020 births but also filling a cohple remaining spots before then! Can't wait to hear from you and set up a time to meet ans go over those hard and awkward questions😉 . . #testimonial #clients #clientlove #googlereviews #love #Birthphotography #monumental #changes #thisismyjob #lovewhatyoudo #birthisamazing #birthisbirth #birthphotographer #bozeman #montana #bozemanmontana #homebirthbozeman #bozemanbirthcenter #hospitalbirth #hospitalmidwife #midwife #birthwithme #butfirstbabies #oncalllife

When you are laboring, other work is being done... . . . Pictured here is a Dad filling the birth tub that would help bring his baby into the world. . . . #birthisnormal #Birthphotography #bozeman #montana #bozemanbirthphotographer #bozemanmt #swmontana #photographer #photodocumentary #reallife #thisisbirth #thecalm #fillerup #birthtub #homebirth #midwife #midwifery #bornathome #babytime #sweetbabe #brandnew #booking2020
