Hi, I’m Vanessa! I am a wife, a dog mom, and someone whose faith in Jesus is the foundation of everything I do. My Husband and I have known each other since middle school, and it feels like he’s been a part of my life forever. He’s not only my life partner but also my best friend, and I’m so grateful for the beautiful life we have built together. We share our home with four lovable pups: Izzy, Kylo Ren, Oliver, and Leila. I love coffee dates, listening to music, and curling up with a good book. I’m also a hopeless romantic who wears my heart on my sleeve and finds joy in encouraging others.
My journey into photography began as a way to capture all the precious moments with my pups. From their adorable faces to their growing personalities, I couldn’t help but make them their own personalized instagram page! I quickly realized that this passion for preserving memories extended beyond my dogs, and soon I was photographing families and friends. From a young age, I’ve always felt a deep love and connection to all things related to motherhood so it was no surprise that the beauty of capturing motherhood stole my heart and really drew me in. Supporting women, nurturing them, and helping them thrive has always been my calling. This passion is what inspired me to become a doula. I believe that women's bodies are perfectly designed by God to give birth and when mothers trust their intuition and embrace their power, they step into motherhood feeling confident, strong, and fully in control.
Whether through my art or through my support as a doula, my ultimate mission is to empower mothers and capture the magic of their journey for generations to come. It is a joy to creatively serve women and celebrate the beauty of motherhood and I would be honored to be a part of your story.

I am now a DOULA! Becoming a doula was a deeply personal calling for me. I’ve always had a passion for nurturing and supporting women, and I knew I wanted to be more than a photographer capturing motherhood—I wanted to be part of the journey itself. That’s why I dedicated myself to learning, training, and becoming certified as a doula.
I’m so proud to offer this service to my clients, combining education, emotional support, and hands-on care to help mothers feel empowered and confident during one of the most sacred seasons of their lives. Wondering what a doula is? Read below.

When it’s time for your baby’s arrival, I’ll be there whenever you need me. Whether it’s helping set up your space, offering massage, guiding relaxation techniques, or simply holding space with love and trust, I’ll support you physically and emotionally. I’ll also work with your partner, ensuring they feel empowered and involved in the process.

Your partner is an essential part of your journey, and I’m here to guide and support them too. Whether they need tips on how to assist you during labor or reassurance in the moment, I’ll help them feel confident in their role as your teammate and advocate.

The journey doesn’t end after birth. I’ll continue to support you and your family as you transition into this new season of life.
