I got the call from Julie one morning, and things were progressing fast! It is about a 35-minute drive from my house in Lehi to Payson, and I knew I had to get moving if I was going to make it. I headed out of my neighborhood and was cruising along when I saw flashing lights behind me. I was getting pulled over when I had a client practically pushing her baby out!

Chelsea and Joel hired me just two days before their scheduled induction. It was time for their baby boy to make his appearance, and they were looking for a birth photographer. The hospital limitations had been lifted due to COVID-19, and they were allowed to have more support in the delivery room. I connected with Chelsea on Zoom and felt a fun energy.

If you have ever had a conversation with me, you know I love a good story, and I definitely don’t spare the details. My journey into professional birth photography has been building for years and is influenced by my four births and work as a doula. The journey has formed my values and left an imprint on the type of service I provide, so if you also like details and a good story, you are in the right place.

They immediately felt like family when I sat down with April and Jake for our doula consultation. These people, who I had never met before, shared their story as we talked about the painful and beautiful journey that brought them to their 5th pregnancy after a devastating full-term loss with their 4th child. We laughed, cried, and chatted for so much longer than I typically do at consultations. I was hooked!
