While my focus is home birth, I will never leave you high and dry during a hospital transfer. I will also take on planned hospital births so long as we are a good fit! Meaning, those who are seeking an undisturbed birth. I have set this boundary for my business due to some unethical and harmful practices of medicalized birth professionals so as to avoid being complicit in birth trauma caused by intervention.

Absolutely! I require a $250 non-refundable retainer to secure your date/date range. After that, I will work with you to create your personalized payment schedule. Final payment must be made by 37 weeks gestation for birth services once I become on call for your birth. For maternity, newborn, and family photography, final payment is due five business days prior to your session date.

As just your photographer, I like to get there by the time active labor begins. I may pop in and out during early labor as well. Capturing the beautiful memories of labor is equally as important as the delivery. As your birth support, I'm there as soon as you need me! Early labor is generally uneventful, sometimes long, and you can typically just go about your day. Once active labor begins is when clients usually need labor support.

My home base is in Elizabeth City, NC. While I like to stay within 80 miles of Elizabeth City, I may travel further depending on the individual circumstances. Areas I travel to include Virginia Beach/Chesapeake, VA and the Outer Banks of NC.

Yes! I am insured for both my doula services as well as photography services, as any professional you hire should be.

I will always respect the privacy of my clients and I ONLY share images and videos approved by you.
