I’m Jennifer, a birth photographer and doula, and I believe that birth is a sacred and transformational time. It doesn’t matter how many babies you’ve had; you are reborn with each new life you grow. As an experienced birth photographer of 10 years, I’m grateful every time I’m in the birth space. It’s filled with power. It doesn’t matter if you are planning a home or hospital birth or if your birth unfolds differently than you expect, it’s still a life changing experience in and you deserve to have it documented authentically and beautifully.
I want you to feel heard, and supported throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This is a transformational time and it’s important to have people around you who understand birth.
As an experienced birth photographer, doula and birth videographer, I’ve attended hundreds of births since stepping into birth work in 2013.
I'm an experienced birth photographer, videographer and doula and I’ve been photographing births since 2013. Most recently, I’ve attended midwifery assistant training, which has allowed me to expand my skillset and knowledge in the birth space. I’ve attended hundreds of births in all types of locations and supported families through cesarean birth, free birth, and everything in between. All birth is beautiful and all families deserve loving and thoughtful support during this incredible time!
I’m a leader in the international birth photography community as the Co-Founder of Birth Becomes You. At Birth Becomes You, we celebrate the singular experience of birth through educational resources, empowering imagery, and a positive and uplifting community.
As an award-winning birth photographer, I've been published nationally and internationally, numerous times. I’ve photographed 200+ births at home, at birth centers, and in hospitals, including cesarean birth and each family has a special place in my heart.

As a birth photographer, doula, and birth filmmaker, I live by the motto "Babies come when they come. and they come when they are ready.” This birth embodied both of those statements. My clients rely on my preparedness and readiness at any given moment. One such instance was when Rachel called me to her birth in December, contracting regularly at just 37 weeks. After several hours at her house, the contractions had not progressed, and Rachel could finally get some well-needed sleep. We all rested and waited, but the contractions slowed way down.
