and I looked down at this beautiful soul-filled being whom my husband tenderly laid upon my chest and suddenly a spark of fierce love for this vulnerable little baby with soft cries and perfect eyes burst and filled the depths of my heart.

PHOTO FROM MY SON'S BIRTH


that ignited my passion for this art


kind words


Rachel


I am so pleased with my experience with Katie! She provided photography services for the homebirth of my son and I adore the photos she captured. They were well thought out and she got all the little details I didn’t even know I wanted until I saw them! I will treasure these photos for a lifetime.


I was a little nervous to have a photographer at my birth but Katie was so stealth! She somehow found a way to capture the moments without getting in the way at all. My birth team was also very impressed with the way she navigated the space.


Katie is incredibly kind and an excellent communicator. She followed up with me when needed and got the photos to me quickly. Highly recommend!



Kathrine


Katie captured the birth of our 7th baby! Her calm and quiet presence made her hardly even noticeable. It was hard to believe she could get such intimate pictures without ever interfering with the moment. We are so grateful for the memories we have from that special day of our sweet boy.



Julia


I can not recommend Katie enough! She photographed the birth of our 5th child and the photos were absolutely AMAZING! She captured everything beautifully, the long labor, water birth, and sweet moments after. She managed to keep the photos modest enough to share with family and friends without missing anything. Katie worked quietly in the background allowing us to focus on the birth experience. If you need a birth photographer look no further.


Katie, thank you for the beautiful images you captured of our precious boy and his birth! We will cherish them forever!

Hi, I’m Katie. Your biggest advocate for birth photos.

Why birth?

Childbirth for me was the most beautiful and intense experience of my life. It was breathtaking, wrapped up in hardship. The overflow of emotions and a tender love portrayed in imagery. My birth photos are some of my greatest treasures. They are a reminder of how our family’s new chapter began. A reminder of how well my husband loves and supports me. A reminder of my strength and determination. A reminder of the beautiful gift our son is to us.

nothing compares to witnessing your

baby's first breath


The documentation of these stories are to be treasured for many lifetimes and generations.


It is a story telling of also a mama being born through strength, endurance and sacrificial love, a story of how well your partner loves and supports you through hardship, a story of beautiful firsts for your beloved child and new family. It is YOUR story and I would be humbled for you to invite me to tell it through imagery.
