Your birth story is important.

This is a transformational time. I want you to feel empowered, heard, and supported throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Your Birth is about you and your family, and it’s incredible, each and every time.

It doesn’t matter how many babies you have had; you are reborn each time.  Birth is an empowering process, and we should embrace it for what it is; bringing life into this world! It should be celebrated, not feared.  

In whatever way you choose to birth, whether it’s at home in a tub, in the hospital, by cesarean, or a variation of what you anticipated, I’ll be there with you as a birth photographer AND doula.

I serve the Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Detroit Metro areas.

Hi! I'm Jennifer (she/her), I’m a birth worker.

I'm an experienced birth photographer and I’ve been photographing births since 2013. Additionally, I’m a trained doula, as well as a videographer.

I’m a leader in the international birth photography community as the Co-Founder of Birth Becomes You. We created this platform to showcase the beauty of birth around the world and to show birth as something to be excited for, not to be feared.

As an award-winning birth photographer, I've been published nationally and internationally.  I’ve photographed 200+ births at home, at birth centers, and in hospitals, including cesarean birth and each family has a special place in my heart.

I work with sentimental couples that embrace the empowering beauty of birth and the loving chaos of parenthood; I'm there to witness and authentically document your sacred birth story.  

My family moved to Chelsea, Michigan from Colorado after living in the Rocky Mountains for 15 years; we came back to our roots to be closer to our family after having children.

Your Birth Story Matters

My first child, Magnolia, was the inspiration for my journey into birth photography. Her birth was supposed to be at a birth center, but due to circumstances out of our control, we had to be induced and that lead to a cesarean birth. It’s hard to remember the entire process, and I wish I had photos to remember how my husband loved on me, how we kissed in the bath, how he held me up through contractions as my doula squeezed my hips for hours. Then, we met our daughter for the first time, in the Operating Room. I call her my muse, because it was from the moment of her birth, as I lay on the table, I knew every person needed their birth story documented, no matter how it unfolds.

Now, TEN years later, I’m grateful to capture births as a photographer and to support families as a doula. My mission is to help you have a birth that feels supported and positive. As a member of your birth team, I want you to feel that support from me from the time you book through postpartum.
