7+ 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 professional 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.

Birth Photography & Videography

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, certified 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 is 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 will be 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

  • ALEXANDRA, BIRTH PHOTO, VIDEO + DOULA CLIENT

    "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.’”

  • RHIANNON, BIRTH PHOTO + DOULA CLIENT

    “Emily is one of a kind. She was my doula and supported me every step of the way. Night or day, I felt comfortable reaching out to her about my thoughts and concerns about becoming a new mom. All of the questions I had, she was honest without judgment. She 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, I will cherish those photos forever. Truly talented artist, I’m so glad she was able to be a part of my experience."

  • ELISA, BIRTH PHOTO, VIDEO + DOULA CLIENT

    "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 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."

  • HOLLY, BIRTH PHOTO + VIDEO CLIENT

    “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 me 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!”

  • DANIELLE, BIRTH PHOTO 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.”

  • ELIZABETH, BIRTH PHOTO + DOULA 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 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."

  • SAM, 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 Godsend to have in my delivery room."

  • KRISTINA, BIRTH PHOTO, VIDEO + 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."

  • ALANYS, BIRTH PHOTO CLIENT

    “The day I gave birth was one of the most intense, beautiful, and transformative moments of my life. I had never considered a birth photographer until my wonderful midwife Nicolle introduced me to Emily! I’m so so glad she did because the moments captured, attention to detail, and rawness of these photos take my breath away. To be able to look back at the moment my baby girl joined us earth side, feels like a privilege … These photos make me feel strong and proud of myself. Outside of the absolutely stunning photography, Emily herself was such a joy to work with. She’s the type of person that you meet and feel immediately comfortable in her presence! Super down to earth and you can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. I cannot recommend her enough.”

  • SAVANNAH, BIRTH PHOTO, VIDEO + DOULA CLIENT

    If you’re even slightly on the fence, this is your sign. I’m saying this both as a fellow birth photographer and as someone who hired Emily for my own birth. You will be so glad you did. Her photography is stunning, but her film work is on another level. She has an incredible instinct for knowing exactly which moments to film, and she captures them in a way that lets you truly relive your birth again and again, not just visually, but emotionally.

    Beyond the artwork itself, Emily is truly something special. As a doula, I can honestly say I wish I had her at all of my births. The care, presence, and calm she brings into a birth space is unmatched. I would not have made it through my last birth without her. This is so much more than photos, it’s an experience.

    You will not find better, and she is worth every single penny and MORE.

Booking is as easy as..1..2..3!

  • Step 1: Consultation & Booking

    We’ll start with a quick virtual meeting to discuss your birth plans and goals with birth photo/videography. This allows us to connect and ensure we’re a great fit. I hold your due date for two days after our call, and once you’re ready to move forward, you can easily accept your quote, sign the contract and pay the retainer.

  • Step 2: In-person Meeting & On-Call

    Around 35 weeks, we’ll have an in-person meeting (usually in your home) to go over the details, like when to call me, and any specific moments you want or don’t want to be documented. At 36 weeks, I’m officially on call 24/7, ready to be at your birth within two hours.

  • Step 3: Birth & Gallery Delivery

    When labor starts, let me know, and we’ll decide the best time for me to arrive during active labor. If you are scheduled for a cesarean, I will arrive at the hospital with you. I’ll document your journey and stay for two hours after the birth. You’ll get a sneak peek within 48 hours, and your full gallery will be delivered within four weeks.
