Sometimes the best support your birth team can give you is just being there. Loved this beautiful moment as the partner and doula watch patiently, ready to jump into action at the first sign of a contraction.

I don't know about you but I was really hoping that after 2 years of dealing with COVID we were almost at the end, but with this new variant it seems we may have a way to go. Doing a newborn session at home saves you from having to bring your new baby out in the world, not to mention all the stress of packing everything up and getting everyone out the door so soon after birth.

I am fully vaccinated and I take the health and safety of your new baby very seriously.

Some partners are heistant to hire a birth photographer, wondering if it is really necessary or concerned about having an extra person in the room. These moments of loving support that would otherwise not be captured are one of the many reasons that hiring a professional is a good idea.

Lately I have heard from a few mothers that they were told they needed to supplement formula for the first few days of life until their milk came in because colostrum is not enough. That is simply not true.

Did you know that colostrum is the ideal food for your new baby? It's low in fat and easy for their tiny tummy's to digest. It is also nutrient dense, full of protein and formulated to give newborns everything they need. Colostrum also fights infections and supports their developing immune systems.

Want to include your fur babies in your session? No problem! I am happy to include them based on the pets temperament. This guy was happy to get some attention, but definitely needed to be bribed with treats and tummy rubs.

During labor many people find that laboring in warm water can help their bodies relax and help them manage their pain levels during contractions. Did you use the tub or a shower? Did you find it helpful? ⁠

Being allowed into the sacred birth space and witnessing the power, the love, the joy, the support of partners and the birth team just never, ever gets old. I always get a little swept up in all of the emotion and while you may not see it (I hide it well) I usually shed a tear or two. Of all my sessions birth is definitely my favorite and I love to be with families from the beginning. ⁠

This birth was last week just one day after my birthday and I can't think of any better way to celebrate than with a birth. Congrats Dani and Nate! Baby M is beautiful and healthy. I am looking forward to your newborn session. ⁠
