It all goes by so fast...
You can capture both the fleeting days of pregnancy (I know, I know, they don’t feel fleeting right now!) and your newborn baby’s magic with photographs taken by an experienced midwife, doula, and mother. You aren’t a run-of-the-mill person, so you won’t get run-of-the-mill photos.
I’ll capture your personality, lifestyle, and family with my unique approach to settings, styling, posing, and skills to help you relax and enjoy your time in front of the camera.

birth photography
There are few moments in our lives as powerful as the birth of our children. Birth photography is about anticipation, new life, and the love that comes with it. It provides a documentary story of your support during labor, those precious first moments with your baby, and all the small details that tell the story of bringing your baby into this world. Hiring a birth photographer allows you and your partner to completely experience the birth of your baby, knowing your memories are being professionally captured by someone who has both experience in attending home births, as well as professional knowledge of their camera equipment. My ultimate goal is to capture those intimate moments of your birth without interfering with your personal birth space.
Birth photography includes all fully edited high-resolution digital image files with print release.

newborn photography
Newborn sessions are for documenting your sweet baby during the first few weeks of life – those teeny tiny fingers and toes, perfect little lips, the little tufts of hair all over their sweet skin, how their bodies curl into a tiny little womb-like ball when you lay them down just so…the moments that are so fleeting go by in the blink of an eye. Trust me, my first baby is 30 and I don’t know where the time went — don’t blink, and make sure to capture these beautiful memories!
I will come to your home to create timeless portraits of your new baby and you won’t even have to leave your couch. Okay, you might have to leave your couch, but you won’t have to leave the comfort of your home! I bring everything to you except the baby! We will create beautiful baby-focused beanbag/blanket images as well as loosely posed lifestyle images using just a window in your home. We can also showcase your beautiful bedroom, nursery, and living space as well. Baby, parents, siblings, and furry friends included!
Your newborn session includes all fully hand-edited high-resolution digital image files with print release.

"I thought I was buying a photography package to document my journey into motherhood. I got so much more than I budgeted for. Anya’s knowledge and experience in the field of birth translated to invaluable support and authentic caring when our birth plans had to suddenly change. She put my photo-shy husband at ease and worked with us to craft beautiful images that have helped me heal and embrace my story after a birth that went nothing like planned."
– ELENI
"If there is any possible way to have Anya at your birth – do it. She delivered my daughter, and it’s hard to explain the energy she brings with her. Calm love, peace and strength, all wrapped in one person who can advocate for you if you need it. Photography would be a huge bonus, but her energy and knowledge will help to make it an amazingly peaceful (yes, I said that about labor!) and beautiful experience."
– BRENDA
"Anya is an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with. She is so knowledgeable and talented as both a doula and a photographer that your mind will be put at ease even during a wild time like delivering your child.
Her work is beautiful!! That wild delivery that you think you will never forget starts to fade quickly but her photos tell the story better than you ever could. If you’re considering hiring someone I can’t recommend her more!"
– Jen D.
"Anya is full of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood knowledge that she'll tactfully offer. Beyond that, she has been an advocate and support for us. My last birth was rapid, chaotic, and ended with a crash c-section. Anya stayed at our sides throughout (and with my partner once they were not allowed in the OR). She was there in the PACU when I woke up and helped us make sense of what had just happened. She managed to capture the event in a way that tells the story through an honest lens that still found the beauty in an otherwise traumatic ordeal. Looking at the photos has been therapeutic and healing for me. Without Anya there, so many precious moments would have been lost to the haze of anesthesia. I can't say enough good things about her and her work! Hire her! It is totally worth it."
- mother of 2
"Anya has documented two births for our family. Her work really speaks for itself; she is a gifted photographer and has never failed to capture every special moment of the experience for us. She has even found the beautiful and peaceful moments that I otherwise would not remember from our intense birth experiences. She is very responsive. She even beat us to the hospital this last time around!
– Callie H.
"She listens to your preferences (even remembers them years later for your next birth) and makes sure she doesn’t interfere in any of the dynamic between you and your partner or your medical team. As a doula she is patient and listens to your needs and will help offer suggestions when asked, she will go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy and comfortable in so many ways."
- repeat client
"Anya did an absolutely amazing job memorializing every breathtaking moment. Turn around on images and video was just as discussed and image quality was beyond what was anticipated, but the true value of working with Anya was found in her presence, support and attitude."
