About
Hi, I’m Kim! I’m glad you’re here.
When I started my photography business back in 2019, I was capturing families, milestones, and all the beautiful in-between moments. I loved the joy, the connection, the chaos—but deep down, I knew my heart was being pulled in another direction. I had always been mesmerized by birth photography. There’s something so raw, powerful, and sacred about those first moments of life. One of my biggest regrets from my own births (my babies are now 8 and 11!) is not hiring a birth photographer. The details—the expressions, the support, the strength—it all becomes such a blur. I wish I could go back and see it all unfold again. That’s why I do this.
As a documentary-style photographer, I’m here to preserve the beauty of your birth story exactly as it happens—authentically, quietly, and with deep respect for your space and your strength. I believe birth is transformative. Whether it’s in a hospital, at home, or at a birth center, every story deserves to be told. If you’re here, you’re probably dreaming of remembering more than just the intensity of birth —you want to remember the love, the support, the beginning of everything. And I’m so honored to be considered for that.
(More about me) I grew up in the desert of New Mexico and miss it dearly—but over the years, I’ve come to love the wild beauty of Florida. The sunrises, the sunsets, the ever-changing skies—they get me every time. I love being out in nature and exploring new places (as long as it’s not hot as the dickens out!). I’m a mama to two wild and wonderful girls and married to my amazing husband, Tyler—who I met in elementary school. Yup, we’re those people.
Why Birth Photography Matters to Me
Before I became a birth photographer, I became a mother. Twice. Each of my births was completely different—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Looking back, I wish I had more than memories. I wish I had photographs that captured the way it felt—the strength I didn’t know I had, the look in my partner’s eyes, the moment I held my baby for the first time. That longing is what drives my work today.
Below, I’m sharing both of my birth stories—not because they were picture-perfect, but because they were powerful, messy, human, and mine. My hope is that in reading them, you’ll feel seen, and you’ll understand why preserving your story matters so much to me. For both of my births, I had to be induced. My babies just didn’t want to come out!
For my first baby girl, I went into the hospital at 5pm and ended up having her the next morning. I really wanted to birth all naturally, and took hypno birthing leading up to my due date. Unfortunately, I did not have a doula or a midwife as part of my birth team, and so I ended up giving in right as I went into transition. It also didn’t help that one of the nurses was not very nice and empathetic. I will say the second time around (same hospital) the nurses were much better. My husband and my MIL were there, thank goodness, but they didn’t realize how badly I wanted to have my baby naturally, and I was not equipped at the time to speak up and advocate for myself. I got the epidural, and it worked maybe 60%. My baby came a few hours after that, from what I can remember (again, a lot of this day is a blur) and she was out in 5 pushes. I have a few cell phone images of her birth that my MIL thankfully took, but I don’t have much. I’ve inserted a few of those here from both of my births.
Birth number two was also at the same hospital. I went in to get induced at 5am and she was born at lunchtime! I also got an epidural this time, in a kind of similar way. I waited until transition and then got one when the pain was too intense. Again, I wish I hadn’t. If I had a birth team, I don’t think I would have. I had complications this time from the epidural. My blood pressure dropped. Overall, both of my children were born healthy and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Now time has flown and they are 8 and 11! I really wish I could look back on both of my births and have beautiful images to remind me of those experiences, and to show me my birth stories. This is why I do what I do. I don’t want you to look back and wish you had them too.
