Home Birth & Birth Center Photos

“Our photos are treasured and I couldn't imagine having anyone else in my home with my family at that time. Selecting her as a photographer is a decision I am so grateful I made.

Amanda is a consummate professional and such an experienced birth worker. She's also so much more - someone who simultaneously blends into the room while still exuding a calming, steady presence. Her photos will not only help me remember and cherish that birth experience in the years to come but also help me process it as I heal postpartum. There are so many moments that I don't want to forget, her art helps me recall those events more vividly.”
