These words begin to describe the birth journey. If you’ve experienced the birth of a child, you can probably identify with each of those words. They may even conjure visual memories in your mind representing each stage of labor, birth and those first moments of meeting your child.

I won’t lie, the same adrenaline you feel when its time - I FEEL it too. Once that call comes in that says “we are ready”, I call my reliable mama to make the short 10 minute drive to be with my son, and I am off. Even before getting to your room... I’m already piecing together your birth story. The sun rising out of the skyline, the hospital’s entrance, directional signs to the laboring unit, even the room/laboring suite number you are in. But, there is so much more story to tell and everyone’s story is unique. What do you want documented?

The birth of your baby only happens once, let’s capture those fleeting moments,one photo at a time.

Straight From the Client:

 

"We hired Jenni as our birth photographer/doula which was the best investment I’ve ever made! If you’re looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond for you, advocate for you during some of your most vulnerable moments and become a good friend, Jenni is your gal!  She got me up walking within 20 minutes of her being in my birthing suite. She helped get me into different positions after I got back to my room, she made suggestions when necessary, helped guide my husband on different things to do to support me, and thanks to her I am 100 percent aware of my third eye. Don’t know what that is? Jenni will show you!"

Straight From the Client:

"Hiring Jenni was the best decision my partner and I ever made. Not only are the images she captured amazing, but she is genuine, flexible, and caring. Her turn around time on the photos is also phenomenal. We decided to do the maternity/birth/newborn package and we are so incredibly happy that we did! My birth didn't go as planned, but she was there for the entire 26, grueling, hours and was quick with suggestions to help make things go more smoothly. I truly believe she's the reason I was able to avoid a C-section.  Jenni is more than a photographer and doula, she is a confidant, advisor, and supportive person. If you are at all on the fence, I can tell you, with 100% confidence, that you won't regret partnering with Jenni for any birth or photography needs!

"Jenni was absolutely amazing. She had helpful advice throughout my pregnancy. She took beautiful pictures during my labor.  Best of all, she was an incredible support the whole time I was in the hospital and especially during the worst parts of my labor. I really can't recommend her highly enough. She had a solution for every problem that came up, from nausea to pain to a slowing of my labor process. Hire her. You won't regret it!

Straight From the Client:

"I am very satisfied with Jenni's service(s), both photography & Doula work. She was calm and supportive during labor & arrived promptly. I have absolutely no memories of Jenni taking photos, though obviously she was there! Her photographs are now a physical memory of the most POWERFUL & meaningful moments of me and my baby's life. She needs to continue working with the home birth community!"

Midwife looking over brand new baby,holding baby tenderly

Straight From the Client:

 "The passion she has for this is obvious in every picture. She was in it for long haul. With her Doula training she was able to offer my daughter some relief. She massaged her back, hands and feet. They walked and talked and laughed for hours (literally) and she coached her through her breathing. She was able to capture those special moments and all of the emotions of that day. I can not express how amazing it was to watch my grandsons entrance into this world in person but to be able to relive those moments. Every picture she took is still so emotional.  I will recommend Jenni to everyone I know because she puts her heart and soul into every memory she captures for you."
