The Part of My Story I Never Expected to Share: Postpartum Depression, Grief and Finding Hope Again
As a newborn photographer and mum, I dreamed of capturing every milestone with my rainbow baby. Instead, I found myself battling severe postpartum depression and grief. This is my story of loss, healing, motherhood, and finding hope again through faith.

Family photographs have always mattered deeply to me — but especially after that season. One day I finally said to myself: It doesn’t matter what you weigh. It doesn’t matter how you feel about your body.
I need to exist in photos for my children.

✨ Over the weekend I had the absolute privilege of witnessing something incredibly special for two of my beautiful clients.
I first met Layla during her maternity session, then had the joy of photographing her and Chris again for their newborn session. Like so many of my clients, we instantly clicked, and over time they’ve become more like family to me. 💕
This time, Chris reached out with a secret—he wanted me to capture his proposal to Layla! She had no idea what was coming, which made the moment even more magical.
