Made to Create 2015 PNW Photography Workshop: Tacoma Photographer

Ever since I attended the Made to Create Photography workshop a week and a half ago, my mind has been swirling. I learned so much about, not just photography, but also myself. I learned about what is really important to me, I learned about what I really like to shoot, and I learned that I am different (which I already knew). But I learned to be confident and comfortable in all of those things, which is not normal for me.

There were so many talented photographers there, the old me would start comparing myself to all of them. Which initally I did. But the more settled into the weekend the more I realized I like the way I shoot, think, and see the world. And I’m excited to share that to the world. Birth, babies and families, but more on that another day.

We did a newborn session with two of the sweetest babies, with Kristal Joy Photography. I just wanted to eat them up. My favorite moments were watching the moms nestle in with their little ones.

The wedding session with Gabriel Van Wyhe Photography was very enlightening. I learned a lot about weddings and my voice as a photographer. This couple were such troopers. It was cold and pouring down rain and they were so patient as they waited for 14 photographers to photograph them in different poses/ locations. 2015-03-25_0019.jpg

I just want to say thank you to Devon, Chelle and Candice, our leaders, of Made to Create PNW. They have built a wonderful community of people who are willing to share and support their craft with others. I’ll see you next year!2015-03-25_0032.jpg

    Birth Photos that Bring to life the Epic Story that you will tell your children over and over again.

    As someone who has given birth four separate times I understand the importance of deciding who is and isn't invited into such a sacred space. I understand the amount of energy each person in the birthing room can fill and how it can impact the mental and emotional energy of the person in labor. I take it very serious when I am entrusted to help tell the story of the arrival of a new member of a family into this world.

     

    That is why my approach to birth photography may be different than other birth photographers. To me, it is not all about "doing what it takes" to get the shot. I prefer to be a fly on the wall, with a calm and quiet energy. I will always do my best to capture beautiful images that help tell your story. However, I never want to interfere or encroach on your space, your energy, as well as the birth workers, hard at work in the room. I pay close attention to what is needed and not needed from moment to moment. Sometimes that means I can step in for a photo, and other times I just need to step back and give you the space you need for the hard work of your labor process.

     

    Every family I photograph is a very different story. Some stories. Some a long drawn out stories that capture your journey, others have been over in minutes. But each story I capture is unique to you and your family, as well as your needs. If you invite me in to capture your birth story, I want to make sure to get to know you to understand your personality and expectations of the me as I step into the birthing room.

     

     

     

     

    Raw and Honest photos that capture your journey to parenthood

    I provide birth photography as well as videography services, depending upon your preferences. I am available to clients giving birth within 30 minutes of the City of Tacoma. I do hospital, births a birthing centers or home births. If you choose me as your birth photographer, we will set up a meeting to get to know each other, discuss your comfort levels of what you do and don't want captured in the photos, as well as create a plan for the day of your birth. Each birth is unique, some may emphasize the labor process, some have more focus on postpartum photos. It depends on the story of your journey.

    Birth Photos Include:

     

    - The Labor Process

     

    - Details of the room

     

    - Your support team

     

    - Babies Arrival

     

    - ONe hour of Postpartum Time getting aquainted with Baby

     

    *If you would like me to stay longer to capture additional family members meeting baby or a Fresh 48 of you and baby after you've had time to cleanup, let me know in your inquiry form.

     

    * If you would prefer a film over photos, contact me for more details.
