✨ It’s been a minute, so let’s catch up! ✨

Hi friends — I’m Alex, the mama and photographer behind The Essential Mama Birth Works & Photography. It’s wild to think how much has changed since my last intro post… my baby girl is now 5 (HOW?! 🥹), and I’ve grown both as a mama and a business owner in ways I never imagined.

Photography is still my heart — what started as a passion years ago has grown into a business I’m so proud of. I’ve been honored to walk alongside families through birth and beyond — documenting everything from those first sacred moments to the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

In case you’re new here or it’s just been a while, here’s a little snapshot of me:
📚 I love getting lost in a good book
☕️ Coffee is non-negotiable
📺 Reality TV is my guilty pleasure (especially while I'm in my editing bubble)
🌷 You'll always find fresh flowers all over my house

Whether you’re here to book a session or just follow along, I’m so grateful you’re here. Let’s keep making beautiful memories together 💜
