It all started with motherhood. Childbirth was a life changing event for me, and it has made me who I am today. Soon after my first child was born I began to photograph women in labor. Witnessing the energy of labor and the strength of mothers during this time was the start of my passion for birth work!

My love grew stronger over the years and I became a birth and breastfeeding advocate, volunteering my time to support women and breastfeeding mothers.

I have trained with Childbirth International in breastfeeding counseling and birth doula skills and I am currently a certified doula and lactation advocate serving all of Central Arkansas. I have also worked as a trained midwife assistant during home births. I have both NRP and Birth Emergency skills training certifications.

When I am not attending births I am homeschooling my two kids in beautiful Central Arkansas. I am an easy going Mama who loves supporting and celebrating women during their birth and breastfeeding journeys!

I look forward to hearing from you!
