Baby Bump X 3!

When you contact me about having your birth documented I always encourage an in person meeting. This is where we get to know each other a bit and we discuss your birth plan. After we chat we take a little stroll around and snap some photos of your maternity journey.

I have met with this incredible mama three times to discuss having her birth documented to create a precious Birth Story. Her first birth was one of the most memorable births that I documented. Unfortunately her second birth in 2020 was got derailed because of Covid which was so disheartening. But we did get some awesome spring beach maternity photos before everything locked down! And here we are in 2023, feeling oh so grateful that birth photography is back on!

I recently met with her for the third time and chatted for a while over a delicious sweet and spicy chai about documenting her third and final birth. After that, of course we took a little stroll around and snapped some beautiful photos. Every session we have is so beautiful. She is radiant and I absolutely adore working with her! Just scroll down and take a look at these gorgeous maternity shots we took through the years!

My heart is bursting with love and joy over the fact that I have had the privilege of documenting these life changing chapters for her and her family. I actually feel a little overwhelmed when I think of aaaaaall the wonderful families that invited me in to their lives.

Thank you!

Long Time No See. But Look! 3D!

Hello there friends! Oh how I have missed you!

I did not intend to step away from photography for so long. But given the nature of my work, my photography business was incredibly affected by the pandemic. Since I was unable to work with people, I took time to reflect as many did. I took time to explore new avenues. I started with the iPad and an apple pen and really dove in to the entire Adobe catalogue. My children got involved and it wasn’t long before we created a fun virtual world. It was a beautiful creative outlet at a time when things felt bleak.
We soon learned all about blockchain technology and we decided to try out a generative project where we took 12 different layers of traits and made 3,333 different unique combinations. It was a lot of fun! In fact, we’re still building wonderful things using these dolls that we created. I’m sure one day in the future you’ll get an update about them.

But that somehow lead me to a path of 3D art. I learned how to use a program called Blender and before I knew it I was creating 3D animations. Naturally, this animated doughnut was the very first thing I created! It look me 30 hours! I ate so many doughnuts that week! But I learned so much and I was hooked!

Since then I have been creating delicious renderings that make me so hungry! Making treats is so fun!

But at that time, I was unaware of the doors I was opening. Wow did I end up on a path I never expected. I was now working in the very fast paced Web3 space. It was quite the learning curve. But my goodness was it fun!

Being a creative director at a Web3 agency is so fun. I’m still a little shocked by this experience because it all happened so fast and some of the people and projects I get to work with are pretty incredible.

It took some time for me to balance out my life. And now that things are feeling more balanced, I am so incredibly grateful to be able to pick up my camera again and do the thing that I was truly born to do! Which is…

Documenting life’s most precious moments!
