You will find pictures of babies whose births I have attended on this page, only pictures approved by the mother’s themselves will be found here, and only those who have given me permission to post them will be included.

Every birth is so unique and special to me, this is my way of remembering them all. If you have been attended in childbirth by me in the past and wish to submit a photo of either your baby at birth, or a current photo of the baby please do! I’ll add it in a heart beat!
I feel it is also important to note that these photos are not in order, not by birth, and not inside of each birth, they are just laid out for the enjoyment of those who wish to look.
I am also incredibly proud to have been a part of all of these births. They bless my heart, and I feel as if I have glimpsed a tiny portion of the future when I am present for the birth of a child.

Thank you so much to the families that have let me into their intimate family life, not only for the duration of labor and birth of their children, but also into their homes before labor begins for prenatal and postpartum meetings and into the memories they will have for the rest of their lives!

John and Vanessa’s long awaited baby boy arrived a bit earlier that anticipated but was in fine health. The experience warranted a lot of pictures of Daddy and Baby David bonding in the NICU, and even some screen time with mama while she recovered before being able to go see him herself. I was honored to be a part of your birthing Team John and Vanessa! David 11-19.
Family Moment, Radiant Bliss on the faces of Mommy and Daddy with Isaac 6-28measuring Isaac 6-28Weighing Isaac 6-28
Isaac 6-28
This Beautiful family welcomed me to their very quick birth in June, It was a pleasure to serve them and welcome their first boy into their arms.
I love baby Feet! So sweet!
Though he didn’t like being weighed he was perfect, and returned to his mama very quickly.
The first moments of a Father holding his newly born child are always some of my favorite to capture at a birth. This precious boy was 4th in a line of 3 girls, and Daddy kept the secret of his gender from everyone including Mommy, but the moment he was born the news couldn’t be contained a moment longer.
