Birth Prep Sessions

  • I offer prenatal birth preparation sessions for families who want the education and preparation from prenatal visits but prefer to have only themselves present during the birth. These sessions are available in-person or virtually and are tailored to your specific needs and situation. This is a great option for parents who want to feel empowered and prepared while keeping their birth experience intimate and private.

Birth Photography

  • Every time I leave a birth and look through the images I captured, I am always blown away by the love and strength of each family. The raw emotion and pure joy in these photos become keepsakes of this transformative experience that is birth. I am available for birth photography on its own or in combination with other packages.

    Portfolio building rates for birth photography are available.

Who I work with

I love working with families who want to take an active role in their birth experience — those who are curious, ready to learn, and committed to making informed choices that honor their autonomy. I’m especially passionate about offering trauma-informed care to parents who need it and who feel ready to dig deeper as they prepare for this profoundly vulnerable and transformative time.

I welcome families of all arrangements, sizes, faiths, identities, and backgrounds.

I support all types of births: vaginal (medicated & unmedicated), inductions, planned and unplanned cesareans, VBACs, twins, breech, medically managed births, hospital births, birth center births, and home births.

I am also well equipped to support families navigating fertility challenges, abortion, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, and other difficult or unexpected outcomes.

I primarily serve families in Los Angeles County, as well as Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, and Moorpark. If you’re outside this area and feel we’d be a good fit, I’m always open to talking about it.
