CENTRAL FLORIDA — BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER, & DOULA
Your birth. Your story. Remembered forever.
Every families birth story is unique; whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, birth center birth, VBAC, or cesarean, I’m here to document your experience with care and respect.
Photography, films, and doula support for families throughout Orlando and Central Florida.
Birth is not a photo shoot. It is the single most consequential night of a family's life — and it happens exactly once.
Birth doesn't have to look a certain way to be worth remembering.
Whether you're welcoming your baby at home, in a hospital, at a birth center, by planned cesarean, or after a VBAC, I'll be there to document it honestly. I'll give you space when you need it, support when it's appropriate, and preserve the moments that pass too quickly to hold onto.
Years from now, you won't just remember that your baby was born. You'll remember the look on your partner's face, the hands that held yours, the first time you saw your child, and all the little moments in between that would have faded without photographs.
I only accept a handful of due dates each month so I can truly be available when your labor begins.

Hi, I'm Emily.
I am an award-winning, certified, fully accredited birth photographer, and I've spent more than 7 years documenting and supporting births, having attended more than 150 “birth-days”.
I'm also a certified labor and birth doula, which means I understand birth beyond the camera. I know birth, how to work respectfully alongside nurses, midwives, and physicians, and how to move through birth spaces without becoming a distraction.
Whether I'm there as your photographer or as both your photographer and doula, my priority is the same. Support you, respect your birth space, and document your baby's birth artfully and honestly.
As seen in
"I truly can't imagine our birth without her."
"Emily was so much more than a photographer or doula—she was an unwavering source of support through my 40-hour labor. She advocated for us, anticipated what we needed before we even knew ourselves, and somehow captured every meaningful moment without ever being intrusive."
— Alexandra N.
"She documented our birth with such artistry while supporting us every step of the way."
"Emily walked with us through every step with wisdom, compassion, and genuine care. She documented our four-day labor with such artistry that every image feels like a treasured memory."
— Savannah B.
"The photographs are breathtaking—but what we'll always remember is how cared for we felt."
"Emily genuinely cares about the families she serves beyond just taking pictures. She made us feel safe, supported, and completely seen throughout our birth experience."
— Morgan M.

Questions, answered.
When should I book a birth photographer?
Most families book with me between 15 and 20 weeks. I take a limited number of due dates each month so that being on call means being genuinely available. If you're further along, ask anyway — late dates sometimes open.
What happens if I go into labor early?
I'm on call from 37 weeks, and for early labor before that, I keep a vetted backup birth photographer briefed on your story. You are never left without coverage.
Do you travel outside Orlando?
I serve all of Central Florida — Winter Park, Windermere, Winter Garden, Clermont, Lake Nona, Sanford and Mount Dora are all included. Travel beyond a 60-mile radius is available with a travel fee.
How much does birth photography cost?
Preserving your birth story is an investment in memories you’ll return to for a lifetime. Birth photography collections begin at $2,000 and include options for full birth coverage, cinematic films, Fresh 48 sessions, maternity, and doula support. A complete investment guide is provided after your consultation.
Can you be my doula and my photographer?
Yes, and many families choose exactly that. As a trained birth doula, I put the camera down whenever hands are needed. It also means one familiar person in the room instead of two.
Do you attend hospital births?
Absolutely. From AdventHealth Orlando and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies to AdventHealth Celebration, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, South Lake Hospital, and beyond, I'm experienced in documenting births across Central Florida. I also attend birth center and home births.
Let's talk about your birth story.
Choosing someone to document your birth is deeply personal. This complimentary 30-minute consultation is a chance for us to get to know one another, talk through your vision, answer your questions, and see if we're the right fit. You'll be able to choose a time that works best for you.
