Birthing a midwife — the birth story of my first child, 1991
This is the first in a series of five of my own personal birth stories I will be telling. Ultimately, my goal is to begin a dialogue on post traumatic […]
lets tell your story
I love a good story, don’t you? Your life is one big, beautiful, messy, amazing love story just waiting to be told, shared, and remembered in photographs.
I have been telling stories visually for over 11 years, capturing families, newborns, births, babies and bellies is what I do best. Former midwife, current baby lover, evoker of emotion —with the patience of a saint and the humor of a 5 year old (just ask some of my little clients!). I am here to provide you with imagery that captures some of the most important moments of your lives. Timelessly.
And yes, you get to keep the images. That’s the best part.

CONSULTATION
After booking your session you’ll fill out a questionnaire that lets me know what your session goals are & helps me tailor the session perfectly to you.

PERSONALIZED SESSION
Where your story comes to life. While I work my magic, your one and only job is to relax, love on your family, and be completely in the moment.
GALLERY REVEAL
A few weeks after your session, you’ll receive a link to view your image gallery & download your files. And yes, you’ll probably need a kleenex handy.
invaluable
I thought I was buying a photography package to document my journey into motherhood. I got so much more than I budgeted for. Anya’s knowledge and experience in the field of birth translated to invaluable support and authentic caring when our birth plans had to suddenly change. She put my photo shy husband at ease and worked with us to craft beautiful images that have helped me heal and embrace my story after a birth that went nothing like planned.
