Hello,
My name is Jessie. I am a creator, a mother and a lover of all people. I am deeply passionate about my work and truly believe I am living out my dream job.

I have over 18 years of experience in professional photography, with a strong focus on birth and lifestyle work. My favorite sessions are simple and real. Families doing life together. Creating memories. Bonding in ways that feel natural and unforced.

I also bring over a decade of experience as a birth doula. That background gives me a deep understanding of the birth space and how to honor it. I know when to step in and when to fade quietly into the background so your experience remains centered on you while your story is documented with care.

My Goal

As a labor doula, my role is to ensure that you and your partner feel safe, confident and supported through every stage of pregnancy, labor and birth. A doula is never meant to replace a partner. Instead, I see my role as helping guide the rhythm of your birth, supporting the flow and offering reassurance when it is needed most.

I believe every laboring person deserves a strong support team. Birth is not meant to be done alone. Having encouragement, knowledge and calm presence can make all the difference during pregnancy, childbirth and the transition into parenthood.

As your birth photographer, my intention is to document your story in a way that feels honest and respectful. My style is organic and rooted in natural light whenever possible. If flash is needed, it is used thoughtfully and minimally, always honoring the birth environment.

My clients value my birth education and experience. I understand the processes and phases of labor and birth both inside and outside of the hospital system. That knowledge allows me to anticipate moments without disrupting them.

All families are welcome here. I honor birth in the home, at birth centers and within hospital settings.

My History

I am formally trained through toLabor. Their mantra has deeply shaped the way I approach this work:

There is room for compassion in every birth.
It is a civil right.
It is a human right.

Birth Doula Support

As your birth doula, my role is to provide continuous emotional, physical and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor and birth. I work alongside your partner and care team to help you feel calm, confident and supported every step of the way.

Doula support includes:

• Prenatal visits to build connection, discuss your birth preferences and prepare for labor

• Education around the stages of labor and what to expect during birth

• On call support around your due date

• Continuous labor support including comfort measures, positioning, breathing guidance and emotional reassurance

• Support for your partner so they feel confident and involved

• Advocacy and grounding presence during labor and delivery

• Postpartum check in to support the transition after birth

My goal is to help you feel informed, supported and empowered while honoring your choices and your birth experience.

Birth Photography

Birth photography is about telling your story as it unfolds. My approach is quiet, respectful and intentional. I document the raw, powerful and emotional moments of labor and birth without interrupting the flow of your experience.

Birth photography includes:

• On call coverage around your due date

• Full documentation of labor, birth and the first moments after your baby arrives

• An organic style that relies primarily on natural light

• Respectful use of flash only when necessary and always mindful of the birth environment

• A deep understanding of the stages and rhythm of birth so moments are anticipated, not staged

• Carefully edited images that reflect the honesty and emotion of your birth story

These images become a visual record of your strength, your connection and your baby’s arrival.

Combined Birth Doula and Photography Support

For families who want both emotional support and professional documentation, I offer combined birth doula and photography services. This option allows me to support you physically and emotionally while also capturing your birth story in a way that feels natural and seamless.

With my background in both roles, I am able to move fluidly between support and documentation without disrupting your experience. This offering is ideal for families who want a familiar and trusted presence throughout labor and birth.

Maternity Sessions

Maternity sessions are relaxed and connection focused. These sessions celebrate your pregnancy and the season of anticipation before your baby arrives.

Maternity sessions include:

• Lifestyle focused sessions in your home or an outdoor location

• Gentle direction that allows space for movement, connection and rest

• Natural light and an organic approach

• Partners, children and family members are welcome

Newborn and Lifestyle Sessions

Newborn and lifestyle sessions are centered around your family settling into life together. These sessions are unposed and baby led, focusing on connection rather than perfection.

Newborn sessions include:

• In home lifestyle sessions

• No props or forced posing

• A calm and flexible pace that follows your baby’s needs

• Honest documentation of those early days together

Inclusive Care

All families are welcome. I support and honor births at home, in birth centers and in hospital settings. My work is rooted in respect, consent and compassion for every family and every birth story.
