Tacoma Birth Photography
Your Story Matters.
This story starts in August 22' when I ran a model call special after I first felt the calling of Birth Photography. She reached out, saying she wasn't pregnant yet, but when she was that she would be calling me. I wished her all the best luck and prayers getting pregnant and that was that. I honestly never thought I would hear from her again - because we all know how life gets.
Until 5 months later. When I saw the message, "Hi Jessica! I told you I'd come back once we were pregnant!"

An immediate Connection
We sent countless messages back and forth, from dresses not fitting and finding alternatives that would arrive in time, to ending up with three beautiful outfits and picking two gorgeous locations. The jokes and funny little things that came with spending hours with these two are memories and experiences I am so thankful for.

"Made with lots of love and a little science"
I put this board together for their maternity session. She wanted something that documented not only the pure joy and excitement of their pregnancy, but also the struggles and time that it took to get here - the full story.
And what a beautiful session it was! Filled with laughs, dances, joy, and excitement.

"My Doctor doesn't think I will make it to my due date"
Everyone thought this baby was going to be here well before her guess date - my client was SURE of it, her midwife was sure of it, I was ready for it.
But week after week - 37, 38,39 - baby was proving everyone wrong. You always hear "Babies are on their own schedule" and I think she really wanted to prove that point.

Maternity & Birth Photography
She's here! She is perfect, beautiful, and SO loved.
This new mom wanted to add in something of her own from her birth -
"Something I've learned through this whole experience, it's to not only have a plan but have grace for yourself. Prepare and know what you want, but remember to have grace when the picture perfect pregnancy and birth you wished for doesn't happen. All that matters is our baby girl is healthy, I'm healthy, and we finally have her here with us."
