Empowered Hospital Birth at Betty Cameron
It’s no secret that I love birth, not just birth photography. I believe in the sacred and transformational power of the process on the mother, baby, and relationships around them. Although I hope and strive to create beautiful images (despite the curveballs of lighting, location, and timing that birth photography often throws at me!), my […]
Quarterly Review (my heart on film)
For 2018 I set a goal that was more for my family than my business, but the way it has already impacted my work has been so positive I feel like I need to share it here. As a film photographer, there’s a price tag on my work. Whether it’s personal or professional, every time […]

Welcome Baby Z: Wilmington Birth Photographer
I was nervous about attending this birth because this mama had let me know that she wanted to have an intimate and private birth experience for this, her fourth baby girl. She wanted documentation but was concerned that she would be put off by having a camera in her face while she was trying to […]
Betty Cameron Hospital Fresh48 Newborn Session on Film
I have been oversharing images from this gorgeous family’s birth and fresh48 session all month because, I mean – LOOK AT THEM. Harder to explain why I have taken so dang long to go ahead and blog their pretty faces but here it is. As a birth photographer, I am just a little addicted to […]
Laid Back Family Session at Wrightsville Beach
I am so glad that Jess and her sweet family have made regular trips back here since they moved inland, and that on one of those trips back to Wrightsville Beach we decided to do this fun family shoot. We had really cute plans for this session: I brought colorful beach towels, they bought ice […]
