Introducing Denver’s New Birth Photographer
I’ve always been a storyteller.
When I was younger, my sister and I would disappear into the basement for hours, creating elaborate stories of make-believe domesticity to act out with our baby dolls and Barbies.
My love for babies started at an early age, as seen in these examples from our family scrap books.
Then I got a camera in my hands. I learned how I could be a storyteller with that camera, how I could tell stories of real, incredible, raw life moments. Not just fantasies I created with plastic dolls.
I’ve told all sorts of stories and met so many people, all of who have impacted me profoundly. I noticed, however, that I kept returning to stories of women and children.
Though I am not a mother myself, I am a deeply empathetic person who understands the weight and power of what becoming a mother can mean. How transformative it is. What an important moment it can be.
My innate comprehension of this and my knowledge of how documentary work can eternalize fleeting, intangible moments, have led me to begin focusing on birth photography.
The process of birth, of bringing new life into this world, is complex and different for everyone. There can be intense highs and painful lows, as well as every emotion in between. The strength of parents welcoming a baby is so deep in our nature, but that doesn’t mean each experience shouldn’t be celebrated. Every journey is different.
Every story is different.
And I’ll be there to tell it.
