Birth Montage:

What an awesome 7 Days

Last Friday a wonderful family friend and Doula Client had her baby. God's presence was with her and what an amazing labor and birth. I had the sweet opportunity to capture some photos during the days events. She was the perfect example of a mother listening to her own body and baby and following her instincts instead of blindly following a doctors orders. I am so proud of her and her strength and completly honored to have wittness her miracle.


Just 4 days later I got to travel to Minneral Wells at the Smith Family Farms and get my newborn cuddles in. I so enjoy taking newborn photos and it's even more special after attending thier birth.

life in the slow lane

My doula clients have been few and far between lately but I have enjoyed the families that I've been privaledged to serve. The most recent birth was with my niece and she did an amazing job. Less than hour of pushing and her little man was completely posterior coming out. What strength and determination. A week after birth everyone is doing well and I had some fun with a photo shoot with Mr. Christian Thomas Fillmore. So precious and sweet.

Fullfilling a dream

While I have loved being a doula, and likely will not stop serving couples in that capacity anytime soon, I am so excited to announce that I have turned in my application to become a certified practicing midwife. My first module or course will be early April in San Antonio Texas. I have found a midwife willing to be my preceptor and now I am apprencticing with her. I got to go to my first birth with her yesterday the 14th of January. I was reminded why I have chosen to persue my dream of being a midwife. Birth is amazing. It is a miracle at the very least and I am honored to be learning and working toward this dream.
For my families that I have served as a doula, I thank you for allowing me to support you. All of my experiences have helped make this dream a reality.
I love you all.

I had the pleasure of taking maternity photos for this mom and just a week and a half later taking photographs of the birth. She had a VERY FAST labor and birth; just 2.5 hours from start to finish. She deserved it for baby #5. Big Congratulations on a job well done. Please welcome baby Dylan. Born November 21, 2008, he was 7lb 13oz & 21 1/4 inches.
