Give me alllll the wild kiddos, dirty feet, belly laughs, and perfectly imperfect moments. 🥹🤎

THIS is my favorite kind of family session. Just hanging out, letting the kids be kids, and capturing all the little things you’ll miss one day.

Aaaand while we’re at it, let’s talk about some little moments… 👀

I still have some openings for my “Little Moments” fall minis THIS SUNDAY, October 25th at Cunningham Falls!

Don’t stress about your kids sitting still or smiling perfectly. Come hang out, let them run wild, and I’ll worry about the pictures. 🤪🍂

Grab your spot here! 🤎

🍂 Fall minis are officially open for booking!!

I wanted to do something a little different with these than I have in the past. No fancy setups, no forcing your kids to sit still and smile, and no stressing over getting the perfect family picture.

I want the messy hair, the belly laughs, the little hands picking up every rock they find, and all the in-between moments that make your family yours. Soooo we’re going to hang out, explore a little, let the kids be kids, and hopefully have some fun while we’re at it!

Fall is hereeee and we are counting down the days until this sweet baby girl makes her arrival! 🍂🤎

I got to capture this beautiful family before they welcome their newest little one, and soon I’ll have the absolute honor of being by mama’s side as her birth doula!

Getting to capture these memories AND support families as they grow is seriously such a dream for me. 🤍

If you’re expecting, I’d love to be part of your journey too! From maternity photos to birth support and everything in between. ✨

I think I can finally say it…

Willow & Wren Birth Collective officially has a home on the internet!!

I have put my whole entire soul into building this website for the last 5 months.

Like… an unreasonable amount of time 😂
Writing, rewriting, changing photos, changing them again, overthinking every sentence, learning things I had absolutely no business knowing before this, breaking things, fixing things, staring at the same page for way too long, and trying to turn all of the thoughts in my brain into something that finally feels like me.

It’s everything I’ve been trying to build with Willow & Wren… birth support, photography, motherhood, education, connection, and care that actually feels human.

I wanted it to feel warm. Safe. Honest. A little emotional. And like you could land there and immediately understand why I care so deeply about this work.

There are pieces of my heart tucked into every page.

So if you have a minute, go poke around. Read the words. Look through the stories. Click all the little buttons I’ve obsessively tested (and made all of my friends and family test) 900 times 😂

And if you know someone who is pregnant, growing their family, looking for a doula, wanting their birth documented, or just trying to find support in motherhood, I would be sooooo grateful if you shared it with them.

Five months and a lot of tears later, I am finally hitting publish. 🥹🤍

✨Welcome to Willow & Wren✨

As I make a few updates to this page, you may notice some photos disappearing for a bit. 🤍

I promise I did not suddenly stop photographing babies and families 😂

I’m just making a change in how I share images of children publicly. Going forward, I’ll still be photographing all the sweet little faces, tiny details, chaos, snuggles, and everything in between — but any child under 18 that I share online will either have their face naturally hidden, cropped, or otherwise obscured.

So if my page looks a little sparse while I update things, that’s why.

The work isn’t changing. The way I protect the kiddos in it is. 🤍

I’ve been reading Jen Hamilton’s Birth Vibes and one of my favorite parts so far is her “Communication Vibe Check.”

Because we talk a LOT about birth preferences.

Unmedicated or epidural.
Induction or spontaneous labor.
Delayed cord clamping.
Skin to skin.
Pushing positions.

But how often do we talk about how you want people to communicate with you while all of that is happening?

Do you want every detail?

Do you want someone to give you the important information without making your brain feel like it just got handed a 47-page terms and conditions agreement? 😂

Do you need your nurse to slow down and explain things step by step?

Do you want to know the “why” behind every recommendation?

Do you want encouragement and reassurance, or are you more of a “please just tell me what’s happening and what the hell we’re doing” kind of person?

Do you process information better if someone shows you?

Do you want your partner included in every conversation?

That matters.

Because when I ask you to visualize your birth, I don’t necessarily want you obsessing over exactly how your baby gets here.

Birth is unpredictable and babies, quite frankly, do not give a s**t about our plans. 😂

Instead, think about how you want to feel while it’s happening.

Did you understand what was happening?

Did you feel heard?

Did you feel comfortable asking questions?

When something was recommended, did you understand why?

When the plan changed, did you feel like your care team brought you into the conversation instead of having a whole meeting about your body three feet away from you?

THAT is part of your birth plan too.

And this is also why education before labor matters so much to me.

I don’t want the first time you hear words like Pitocin, internal monitor, epidural, vacuum, fundal massage, or newborn medications to be while you’re exhausted, contracting, half naked, and trying to process fifteen things at once.

You do not have to become an L&D nurse before you give birth.

You just deserve enough education to understand your options, know what questions to ask, and feel like an active participant in your own care.

And honestly, this is one of my favorite parts of being both an L&D nurse and a doula.

As your doula, we get the time before birth to figure out what matters to you, how you learn, how you want information presented, what questions you have, and what makes you feel safe and supported.

Then when birth day comes, you’re not walking into that room completely blind.

You have context.
You know your preferences.
You know you can ask questions.
And you have someone beside you who already knows your vibe.

And if your birth decides to go completely off script?

Cool. Rude. But cool. 😂

At least you still deserve to understand what’s happening and feel supported through it.

That kind of preparation is a huge part of what birth + postpartum doula support with Willow & Wren looks like. 🤍
