Packages
Birth Photography
Your family story; from the very beginning Birth photography is not just capturing the moment of birth, but all the little moments you didn't notice or soon forgot, that together make up your whole birth experience. I am a certified professional raw birth photographer with a passion for creating birth art, I received my MA from UC Berkley and have since used the knowledge and skills obtained to deliver high quality images for many families throughout the last 10+ years and counting. It is critically important to me to not just own a professional camera and the needed equipment but to be a professional BEHIND the camera. I work hard to keep my editing up to date, my skill set in line with other high quality professionals and to ensure the trust placed in me to DELIVER is not taken lightly. From the moment I arrive I am working diligently to capture every moment worth savoring forever. My goal in capturing your birth is to suspend every little detail there in time, from the beginning of contractions raging through your bones to the crowning moment, from your tiny little ones first squeaky cries down to their little toe beans and every wrinkle and touch of vernix in between. Capturing every ounce of raw emotion that fills the birthing space is what I do. My birth photography is NOT just a few images of a day that forever changed you, because you deserve more than that. This is documentary photography that elevates the experience of your birth to fine art levels. This package is just photography. LABOR|BIRTH|FRESH FORTY-EIGHT Package includes 150+ professionally captured and edited images delivered within seven days of your little ones birth. you will also receive 5-7 images within 24 hours of birth to use for birth announcement.

There's so much to say about Haley so I hope I can make this all fit. She was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. For my postpartum she was there as a postpartum live-in doula the moment I called until she and I both knew I was ready to be 100% on my own. My husband was deployed when I had my little babe, so Haley had big shoes to fill & she did just that. She did everything from verbally encouraging me through my transition, to physically helping me where I needed it the most. She helped prep my meals for the days to come, she helped with my little one so I could eat on my own, shower or get some time to myself to just breathe. She was extremely understanding, sweet, compassionate & my voice when I needed to be heard. Without her, I'm not sure how my first weeks would have been. She made it so much easier for me to transition into this new role of being a mom. 
She also took AMAZING newborn photos of my little babe & they are something that I will forever cherish. They captured every little detail and precious memory of my baby. She was so gentle and excellent with him. During the photos he never once made a noise and was completely comfortable the entire time. She handled everything so flawlessly from one thing to the next, you could really tell she was comfortable and knew what she was doing which allowed me to put so much trust into her & I couldn't be more grateful for her. When we decide to have another baby, Haley is the first person I am calling and I would 100% recommend her to any family or friends having a baby. She truly makes you'r experience one of kind and removes all the stress
