Our opening celebration was absolutely lovely! Thank you all who came out to spend this special time with us! We are so grateful that our dream could be a reality! I hope when you come to this space it feels cozy, safe and home-like. (and if you couldn't make it out - plan to come visit me soon!) ❤️

Welcome baby Oliver! 🩵 Born 1/12 at 8lbs 10oz by triumphant VBAC at the hospital! His mom worked hard for days and endured similar challenges to her first labor. It was a beautiful birth utilizing resources and a supportive team. Exactly as things should be! Congratulations 🎉

Welcome baby Jay 🩵 Born 1/12 at 7lbs 11oz. He came quickly and beautifully into his father's hands. I am proud of his mom for trusting her instincts and strength every step of the way. A third son was welcomed peacefully at home! 🩵🩵🩵

We have an exciting announcement! I have officially leased a beautiful office space that I will be sharing with the talented Christi Rae Photography! This means I will be transitioning over time to seeing clients in a private office within this space and Christi will be using part of the space as her indoor photography studio (as well as utilizing the beautiful property grounds!)
We can't wait to get the office all furnished and ready for an opening celebration with you all!

I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to have this space so that I can provide you all with the best care possible in a more sustainable manner. The burnout rate is high in midwifery and I'm doing whatever I can to practice for a lifetime ❤️

Welcome baby Hazel 🩷 Born 1/11 at 8lbs 11oz! Her mom worked so hard to get her here and into her daddy's waiting hands. A triumphant birth of a surprise third daughter. What a blessing it is to have sisters to go through your life with! 🩷🩷🩷

Welcome baby Maverick 🩵 Born 1/8 at 7lbs 14oz. We witnessed in amazement that her labor matched intensity with the thunderstorm swelling outside. As the storm picked up, so did her contractions. As she called out, the winds howled louder. Mother nature in perfectly harmony! And then he came forth as the storm dissipated - born into the water into his grandfather's waiting hands. A young woman became a mother surrounded with the love and unwavering support of her family.
Congratulations to you all!! 🥹

Welcome baby Jack William 🩵 Born 1/4 at 8lbs 1oz. He came rapidly and more easily than his older brother, which left his mom happily in shock. Dad caught him while I was out breaking a few traffic laws to try to get there before him (since we had minimal warning! 😅) A beautiful family birth - simple, joyful, and uncomplicated!

Welcome baby Isaiah Thomas 🩵 Born 12/29 at 8lbs 4oz
He came rather quickly and simply guided by his mother's strength and resilience into his father's welcoming hands. Meanwhile downstairs his 5 siblings excitedly waited to meet their newest brother and give him more love than he could ever imagine.

Welcome baby Fletcher 🩵 Born 12/10/25 at 10lbs 4oz! He was born in the water with his strong mom surrounded by supportive women, the encouragement of his father and the excitement of a new big brother! Thank you for inviting me for both of your beautiful births, your body knew just what to do ❤️
