This is my friend Sabel. She has loved and lost more babies than any mother should ever have to. This baby girl is arriving right on time, and we can’t wait to meet her.
Unrelated — if you’ve ever complimented me on my hair, it’s this babe’s doing.

There once was a goddess with magic hands.
Hands that glowed when other women came near.
They pulsed with a magic that promised healing & peace.
With every woman she touched, every beat of her drum, a ripple spread through the world.
A ripple that would change everything.
If you are a woman seeking healing of any kind — heart, body, spirit — you can find it HERE.
She offers a safe place to process, feel, heal and reshape everything you know about the phases of womanhood.
I’m so grateful to have met this beautiful creature, and can’t wait to continue working with her in all capacities.
There once was a woman who dreamed of a better world.
When other little girls dreamed of being mothers and rock stars,
She dreamed of growing up to advocate for those who couldn’t advocate for themselves.
Even as the world started to burn around her,
And she watches mothers die because of a broken system,
She never stops lacing up her combat boots.
She spends her days fighting for women & children,
And her indestrucible child’s hope of a better world.

There once was a goddess who’s life was threatened.
In the span of a phone call, her world came crashing down.
Through ringing ears and blurry vision, she heard words like “cancer” and “double mastectomy.”
“Yes,” she said. “Whatever it takes to stay here with my babies,” she said.
So, with a prayer on her lips, she planted her bare feet in the soil, threw her face to the sky,
and began to shed her skin, never to be the same again.
This session marks the 3rd in-home newborn session with this beautiful family. This is by far my favorite part of my job — getting to tag along for the ride of a couple’s life. My heart is full to the brim of kids asking “when can we play with Sarah again?” after I leave, quality conversations with clients-turned-friends, dance parties, and dogs remembering my scent. God, I love what I do.

Based in San Luis Obispo and traveling the globe documenting destination weddings, elopements, and stories of all kinds. Inspired by love, light, heartache, and all the things that make us human.
