When you are flying solo on parenting a three day weekend isn't much of a treat. However, through all of the yelling and wrestling and mess I am trying to remember what a privilege it is for me to be able to stay home with these little munchkins - to be here for and with them. Not everyone is afforded that gift: not my husband, many thousands of miles away, for instance. As I break up the 100th fight today, I try to hold on to this feeling of gratitude - and my mind flits to

Last weekend I had the joy of hanging out with one of my favorite families again in their home - celebrating a family gathering and the first Birthday of their precious little girl, Cora. This family has been with me since Cora was so very fresh from the womb and all the milestones in between! Thank you guys for being such awesome clients and friends (and not to mention all the awesome referrals!!!). Check out this sweet girl: #breastfeeding #babypictures #Baby #LittleRock #A

***On the anniversary of his beautiful birth, Liam's mommy put his birth story into words. I am so honored that she has graciously allowed me to share them here!*** A story about joy in the midst of suffering, peace in the midst of chaos, angels, miracles, and the like. :) "I remember us talking about how we envisioned our "birth story" being, the way people get to pick and choose options these days - arrange the setting, music, guest list, etc. - as though it were a wedding

I had the best time with Xixi and her family as we documented her second pregnancy! Our session was very last minute, as we waited for her parents to fly in so they could join the fun. How proud they look! Totally worth the wait. Sweet big brother was a little more interested in playing than cooperating, but that's ok - when you're two, playing is your job! We've had quite a time trying to schedule photos of sweet little miss Lily now that she's Earthside - but I look forward

Last weekend I had the good fortune to be present for the sweetest family as they found out the gender of their newest member! You guys, this party was planned to the tiniest detail with such precision and taste...it was gorgeous! Mom was positively glowing in her floral maternity dress and dad was busily hopping around keeping things flowing smoothly (this guy is going to be an incredible dad!) I can't wait to meet this little guy - he is going to be the apple of this family

This Tuesday I got together with a wonderfully sweet family in Little Rock for some updated Spring photos! We decided to go to the Bernice Gardens in SoMa for a delightfully hip feel and to try and scope some lovely Spring flowers out! Not only did we find some lovely art for backdrops but we happened to run into one of the gardeners herself! She was just the sweetest and clipped a flower for big sister to hold <3 We even popped over to the fantastic mural at The Root - an ol

I adore babies - no surprise there right? I have recently weaned my last nursling which makes nursing sessions all the more heartfelt for me! I've been thinking of something I could do to honor of my nearly decade long breastfeeding career and thought it would be fun to offer a special on nursing/baby feeding sessions! However you feed that sweet baby of yours will be a memory you look back on with fondness. So, from now until the end of May you can book a nursing/feeding min

And now for something a little different! I think a lot of people are familiar at this point with what a labor doula does, but did you know that there are doulas who specialize in different areas? Recently there was an article making the rounds about postpartum doulas and their popularity with millennial parents (see the article here) - I sure wish I had known they existed with my boys! I decided to seek out some info on our local options so I spoke to doula Sondra Rodocker.

Why pursue birth photography? It seems an odd sort of job, no? I guess first I have to tell you a little more about me. I have always loved birth. As a young teen I was a voracious reader (still am, in between toddler snot and tantrums...) One fateful day I happened upon Karen Cushman's The Midwife's Apprentice. I read it. I read it again. And again. Then hit the library and read everything I could get my hands on pertaining to midwifery and birth. I loved it. There is someth

My first birth fell far from the natural ideal I had imagined. I was in my early 20s and my marriage wasn't where it should have been. At 37 weeks, after being plagued by a misbehaving gallbladder throughout the pregnancy, I was told we needed to induce for a rare liver condition. Despite having a fascination for midwives and natural birth already, I had been too stressed to prepare and had no way to cope with an induced labor. I did not set up a birth plan or support team fo

Arkansas mommies-to-be: are you planning a babymoon and need something local/last minute? Never fear, Arkansas has plenty of relaxing options for a great get away before baby! And that is extra good news if you've had to cancel your beach summer travel plans! Of course you knew your life was going to change as soon as you saw those two pink lines appear (although you may not have known it was going to change this drastically! Thanks a lot 2020...) Pandemic aside, if you are a
