How exciting! I got a message from a 2 time doula client, that one of her maternity photos had been used in the most recent issue of Green Child Magazine. Winter 2013 Issue

This is really exciting for me. When I started out learning photography, it was for my own pleasure. Then, as a dove deeper into the field, I knew I not only wanted to meet my clients expectations (top priority of course) but I wanted to achieve a level of quality that would be respected by my fellow photographers, and others in the industry. I wanted to create the highest quality I could. For many reasons.

This year has been extremely validating, and Ive seen my birth and maternity images shared world wide. This just blows me away! Its an unbelievable honor!

Thanks to facebook greats like Birth Without Fear, The Skeptical Mother, Bring Birth Home, and Brio Birth are a few that have shared images and/or videos.

This makes me so very happy, not just because of the images being shared, but that together, we are able to share the beauty, peace, and power of birth! Each birth is different, and all births are amazing. But if we can remove some of the fear, some of the misunderstandings, if we can put positive, beautiful images out there, to compete with the insane amount of scary, reality TV births moms are exposed to, we can, one woman, one image at a time, change the way we view birth in this country. 

So big thank you to those who serve families by sharing truth, beauty, and powerful images!
