Central Pennsylvania’s Premier Birth and Bereavement Photographer & Doula
You’re doing hard things.
It may feel impossible that you’ve reached this page, in search of support either for yourself, or for a loved one - The birth of your babe is supposed to be one of the best and more transformative moments in your life. The unexpected loss of your babe, or the known loss prior to birth, is just as transformative, and just as important to capture - perhaps even more so, as the time spent with them on earth is so fleeting and the memories can be shrouded in grief. Having someone there to support you during the journey, and document your babe’s time on earth is invaluable. It would be my humble honor to be that support and documentarian.
What are the next steps?
01
Reach out as soon as you’re able to so I can make space in my schedule to document for you. Ideally you will sign a contract in advance, however sometimes that occurs afterwards.
02
I volunteer my time and heart for families experiencing loss, however if you’re able and willing to pay, I appreciate it as it allows me to continue doing this work for other deserving families. Anyone can contribute, at any point in time - feel free to ask me how.
03
After your birth I deliver a gallery of hand edited images all curated to capture your story with emotion and artistry. Images are edited in both color and black and white, as I don’t believe in censoring these moments or the reality for families. These sessions get bumped to the top of my editing queue so the wait time is generally not as long as other sessions.
04
I will keep your photos in a private online gallery indefinitely, so if/when you’re ready to view them, you will have access to them. If you decide to share any images from your experience, I will have you sign a photo release as well - breaking the silence about loss can be hugely healing to other families who have traveled a similar path but there is never any pressure to share unless you feel moved to.
