Your SWFL Birth Story

Dear SWFL, the “ber” months are here!

As August comes to a close, I’m pausing to reflect on a beautiful, full month:

🌿 I was honored to be called to 7 births — the most I’ve ever attended in a single month!

📸 I photographed 11 mini sessions and 5 full sessions.

💻 I delivered every gallery and completed 2 birth films.

It fills me with so much joy to edit and deliver these memories while celebrating the arrival of your new baby. As I continue gaining experience in birth work and prepare for my (future) midwifery school journey, I have one big ask: Hire me!

Birth work is my passion. I advocate for undisturbed birth, holding space for families as they process and immerse themselves fully in this transformation.

🤍 Availability: With Joyful Birth and Baby heading into maternity leave and a natural break with my own clients, my fall + early winter calendar is mostly open — and I would love to fill it with more birth stories!

🤍 Payment Options: I offer flexible monthly payment plans, a creative option for families booking in their third trimester, and a discounted cash option (all helping me tuck away for midwifery school!).

🤍 Doula Support: Alongside photography and films, I’m also opening up my schedule for more doula clients this season. I’m focusing on serving families in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, N. Fort Myers, and Babcock Ranch. With 10 years of birth experience and prior hospital work, I’m comfortable helping families navigate the medical system and advocating for their preferences.

🤍 Fresh48 Sessions: I’m also booking Fresh48 sessions — a beautiful option for families who want those magnetic first hours captured without having an additional person in their birth space. Fresh48 is a wonderful alternative to full birth photography, perfect for both home and hospital births, offering all the fresh details of your baby’s earliest moments before the exhaustion and engorgement set in.

I live just minutes from Cape Coral Hospital and under 30 minutes from Health Park — so I’m well-placed to support families locally.

If your baby is due this fall or winter, let’s connect. I would love to be by your side, documenting and/or supporting you in your birth space.
