BIRTH RECLAIMATION

A PHOTO SESSION TO MARK A SHIFT IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

TO RELEASE what is ready to move.

AND TO HOLD ON TO ALL THAT YOU WANT TO carry FORWARD.

 
 
 
 
 

MORE THAN JUST IMAGES. A process of healing.

This session is a collaboration between my and your open hearts. It doesn’t matter whether it has been days or years after you’ve given birth - there may still be something about your birthing experience that just doesn’t feel complete. Maybe you’ve done a lot of work already and can identify what that means for you. Maybe you are just ready to get started. There is no formula for this, but that’s beauty of these sessions - they are tailored to your experience, your process, and meant to mark this moment in time and your shift forward. Creating photos together can be a grounding and healing experience, leaving you with visuals to come back to.

A documentation of your strength. Of all that you have moved through. And all that you want to take forward with you.

 The process

 

We Connect

I’ll start by sending you an thorough questionnaire to get an an understanding of your experience and where you are in your healing process. You can be as detailed or vague as you feel comfortable with when it comes to re-telling your birth experience. The main things I will be trying to understand are the emotions you held during your birth and early postpartum, as well as the emotions you hope to carry forward into you parenting experience.

We Create Photos

Next we schedule your photoshoot. And unlike any other newborn or family photoshoot, I join you with an understanding and sensitivity to your experience. And as we chat, we create images together that represent and hold the feelings you have moved through. That mark where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. We’ll also be sure to create some beautiful portraits of you and your family, all while keeping you and your experience at the heart of our session.

You Receive Your Images

Within 3 weeks, I send you a full gallery of high-resolution digital images for you to view and download. Your gallery will include a variety of portraits, but also will include images that represent the depth of your experience. These are the images that you will look to when you need to see your strength and tenderness. And when you want to be reminded of the beauty of the journey you are on.
