ORLANDO BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER

CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF BIRTH, ONE STORY AT A TIME.

Welcome, I’m Emily.

6+ Years Documenting Births | Based in Orlando, Serving Central Florida

I’m passionate about honoring and celebrating the transformative journey of growing families. Since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of documenting 100+ powerful birth stories — from home births to hospital births and cesareans. As a Birth Becomes You certified, fully accredited birth photographer with the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers and videographer, I specialize in capturing the raw, emotional moments of labor and birth, preserving not just the day your baby arrives but the transformation you undergo as a parent.

Your birth story is a reflection of strength, change, and beauty, and I would be honored to capture that journey for you.

Your Birth Story, Beautifully Told

Birth is one of those rare moments where time stands still and moves too fast all at once. The strength, the emotions, the love—it’s a whirlwind of beauty, unlike anything else.

As an experienced, award-winning, certifed birth photographer, I’m here to hold onto those fleeting moments for you. The gentle squeeze of your partner’s hand. The quiet strength in your breath. The overwhelming joy the first time you hear your baby’s cry. These are the moments that shape your story, the ones you’ll want to relive forever.

Your birth is powerful. It’s raw. It’s uniquely yours. Let’s make sure every moment is captured, just the way it deserves to be.

Client Testimonals

  • "Emily undoubtedly goes above and beyond, and it is clear that she has a true passion and love for her work and clients. Emily was one of the first of the birth team to arrive, and immediately began supporting me. I had previously felt as if perhaps someone photographing my birth would make me uncomfortable, constantly having a camera in my face during such an intimate time. However, I never once noticed Emily documenting my birth. She has mastered the talent of capturing all of the raw, intimate, once-in-a-lifetime moments of birth while allowing the birthing person to remain in 'labor land.'"

  • “Emily is one of a kind. She was my doula and supported me through every step of the way. Night or day I felt comfortable to reach out to her about my thoughts and concerns becoming a new mom. All of the questions I had she was honest without judgement. She really helped me feel confident in the decisions I made. On top of the endless love and support she takes beautiful pictures. She captures the raw beauty and triumph of birth. I have pictures from my whole experience being pregnant and afterwards once having my baby and I will cherish those photos forever. Truly talented artist I’m so glad she was able to be apart of my experience."

  • "The way Emily was able to be the “holder of our memories" is a huge task and I cannot at all imagine entrusting this to anyone else but Emily. She is warm, loving, comforting, gentle, kind and thoughtful and the care, love and attention she puts into her work and into my family were not unseen. Emily truly has an amazing gift and talent for this specific craft. We love her and are very grateful for her work."

  • “I can not begin to say enough incredible things about Emily and her work. The maternity photos she took are some of the most beautiful photos I've ever had taken of me, and the love she captured between my partner and I was magical...she was so incredibly supportive and reassuring and my partner and I can't imagine the experience without her there. All of her photos are so organic and don't feel at all forced or posed, which is what makes them so amazing. Anyone hiring her will be lucky to work with her. I would recommend hiring her as both your photographer and doula. You won't regret it!”

    HOLLY, BIRTH PHOTO + VIDEO CLIENT

  • "Emily's photography is amazing. She did my maternity shoot and attended my home birth- she made me feel confident, calm, and beautiful. The pictures are so powerful and meaningful. I'm still in awe every time I look at them. If you're debating a birth photographer, do it... you won't regret it! I'll cherish these pictures for my entire life.”

    DANIELLE, BIRTH PHOTO CLIENT

  • “Emily is an absolute gift to all women babies and families in the prenatal or postnatal stages. She has such a calm and peaceful loving demeanor and it’s just easy to be around in a natural nurturer. Her support during my pregnancy at my birth and also postpartum has been an absolute blessing. She has captured so many amazing photos for our family along the way. She has a way of making the chaos of a toddler and newborn still seem comfortable and captures natural moments as they unfold."

    ELIZABETH, BIRTH PHOTO + DOULA CLIENT

  • "If I ever decide to have more kids, I could never imagine doing it without Emily. She is so helpful and funny and she asks all the right questions and knows all the right coping techniques. Her personality shines so bright and she was a God send to have in my delivery room."

    SAM, BIRTH PHOTO + DOULA CLIENT

  • "Having the beautiful and unique photos that we now have from our maternity shoot, the birth, the hospital, and of the baby afterward, is worth every penny all by itself. Through her photography I got to watch my baby come into this world and my husband become a father in ways I never would have seen otherwise. Do something that your postpartum self will love you for and hire Emily for your birth journey."
