I’m not sure if this will reach the right person, but if you were at Italian Delight yesterday evening (Thursday) and spoke with my daughter about becoming a nurse. I just want to say thank you!! You told her you were proud of her, and that meant more than you probably realize. She’s getting ready to take her CNA exam and has been dual enrolling through LRCC throughout high school. She’s extremely passionate about becoming a nurse. It absolutely made her day to hear those words from a complete stranger. As her mom, it warmed my heart to see someone encourage her like that. The world needs more people like you.. kind, supportive, and uplifting ❤️❤️ Your words truly made a difference, and I’m so grateful.

Love a good snuggle! Do you remember your little one being so small they just tucked up on your chest, under your chin? I miss those days 🥺 This tiny, snuggly version of them will be gone and you’ll have an independent 17 year old. I promise you, you’ll want something to hold onto. I’d be honored to freeze this delicate time, giving you a little keepsake. Your heart will thank you many years from now. ❤️

This morning I hosted a free info session about birth prep/HypnoBirthing, doula support, and storytelling.

And… no one came. I had four inquiries. One sweet mama messaged this morning apologizing that her morning sickness has been super intense. Honestly, the fact that she even thought to text me while feeling that way meant so much. The other three 🤷‍♀️ I truly hope everyone is okay!

If you run a small business, you know these moments happen. You pour time into planning, preparing, showing up… and sometimes you sit there alone. And that’s just part of it. Did I cry, yes. Not sobbing, but I was sad.

I truly understand that life comes up! I’ve lived it myself. A little message or heads up always goes such a long way for small business owners who plan these things with their whole hearts. I suppose I'll eat the scones and move on 🤣

I’ll keep showing up and hope to see you at my next info session May 16th @ 9:30am!

One of my moms recently said during her maternity session “My body will never grow this baby again. Not his exact heartbeat, not his tiny movements. I am so happy I’m getting these photos done”

Pregnancy asks so much of your body..stretching, changing, and growing in ways you never imagined. But it’s also the only time in your life you will carry this baby this way. This chapter is worth remembering. Get the polaroid out or hire a photographer, connect with this little life growing inside. Hold onto this season.

If you don’t have a polaroid, I”m happy to chat dates we can get your session in! 😏 Maternity + newborn bundles discounted, add on birth photography for a full bump-baby experience 🤍

A gentle reminder, if you’re due this spring, now is the time to secure your newborn session. Your estimated due date will go on my calendar, I’ll collect your contract and deposit and that’s it, until your baby arrives!

AND! To help keep things extra simple and relaxed, I offer a client closet for both mom and baby, and I will of course help guide styling for the rest of the family so everything feels cohesive and timeless. All you have to do is show up, love on your baby, and let me capture the early days for you!

Complimentary albums come with all digital collections 🤎

Some families hire me for doula support, while others bring me in for birth photography to document their story. But if you’ve already booked one service, you always have the option to add-on the other! It’s common for families decide they want a little more support or realize they’d love their birth story captured, too. I most certainly do both!

I am currently booking through October and only take a limited number of families each month.

If you’re currently on my calendar or want to be on my calendar and are curious about doula support or birth photography, let’s chat more! 🤎

Wondering what my doula support looks like?
Interested in my birth, newborn or family storytelling options?

I’m hosting a free small info session on March 14th at 9:30am and we’ll talk through all of it! Come with all your questions, learn about your options, and see what kind of support might feel right for you.

Spots are limited to keep it cozy and conversational.
Message me if you’d like to join us and so I know how many scones Kayleigh needs to make 😏🤤

I’m ready for warm light and a Saturday evening in a field, it always feels like magic! I have availability this Saturday and the weather is looking beautiful ☀️ This session would be perfect for someone due late March, early April wanting an outside session 🤎 I’ll bring the flowy dresses, you bring the baby bump! DM to inquire!

Watching this weather is giving me whiplash. Snow tomorrow, 78° on Saturday 🤣 Let’s focus on the 78°.. do I have any seniors needing a last minute session? Let’s squeeze ya in! ☀️🎓

Tomorrow they’ll be a little bit bigger. This time is fleeting. Take it all in!

I’d truly be honored if you’d allow me to preserve this season for you. I’m currently booking newborn sessions March - September 🤎 Discounted bundles available when booking more than one session - maternity + birth + fresh 48 + newborn
