ABOUT US
Having relied on each other for support in the past as back ups, we began to see that something was missing from the Atlanta birth community. As solo photographers on our own we were always on call, and we wanted to give clients a strong sense of security in knowing that no matter what, someone who knew them and their preferences, and who they were familiar with, would be able to attend their birth.
So in 2018 we made the decision to come together, for ourselves and for our clients, choosing community over competition and shifting to a shared call model—meaning you hire all three of us, but one of us will document your birth.

"After the birth of my first son I decided to become a Birth Doula to help other women have awesome birth experiences. I quickly realized that I wanted to also incorporate my photojournalism background into my work after witnessing the intense strength and beauty of birthing women. The amount of love in a birthing room was incredibly moving every single time. When I was with doula clients I kept thinking, “She should see this.” So in 2010 I began offering Doula and Photography services to families in Atlanta."

“I thought that I was going to be one of those women who loved being pregnant, but that was NOT me! My first pregnancy was miserable. When a friend of mine offered to photograph my birth I was extremely hesitant but ultimately agreed. Despite everything, those pictures are everything. Seeing my birth photos stirred something inside me; I practically begged everyone I knew who was expecting to let me into their delivery room and one of my wedding photography clients graciously allowed me to join her for the birth of her daughter. Being in the birthing room is intoxicating; witnessing and documenting the moment that the veil between this world and the next drops, when a mother leaves her body to bring her baby back into this world with her, there isn’t much that can top that”

“As a teen I fell in love with photography and continued on to study it as an adult in college. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts, started a business photographing families when not long after I became captivated by a birth photographers work I randomly came across on Facebook. Soon after I was offering this as a service myself. Through the many years that followed I became a major birth nerd, a doula, and then finally a mother myself. The passion for and perspective of capturing the wonder that is birth has only grown with each other these different hats I have worn!”
