Let’s just dive right into the meat and potatoes of why my session pricing might look a little different. Because I know you’re wondering. You see “Birth Photography in Salina Kansas” or “Motherhood Photographer in Concordia Kansas” and you’re like…


“Okay but my cousin booked her session for $100 and got a whole flash drive??”


First of all. I love cousins.

Second of all… fair question.


But I can promise you I am not just showing up the day of with my camera like “Alright everybody say cheese” and calling it a good time. It is so much more than that.


Birth Photography in Salina Kansas .......what you’re really booking:

When you hire me as your birth photographer or birth doula in Salina Kansas, you are not booking a 1–3 hour time slot. You are booking my entire life for about a month. Sometimes more. I’m on call 24/7 starting at 37 weeks. That means my phone is always on ring. Always. Even in the shower. Even during family movie night when we’re halfway through Nacho Libre and I’m like “Gotta go see about a baby…”


I sleep like a raccoon. One eye open. Slightly feral.

I don’t travel far from North Central Kansas during these weeks.

I cancel things last minute.

I miss some of my own family events.


And before you feel bad, don’t. Birth workers do this because we absolutely love it!!! Truly.

But I do want you to understand the blood, sweat, gas station coffee, and sometimes tears that go into being fully present for your birth.


You text me at 3:08am and say “I think this is it.” My hair goes straight into a messy bun, I throw on my birth clothes....Brush my teeth because we are professionals here lol.... Grab my birth bag and camera gear. BOOM! Out the door and onto 81 highway ladies!  ...heading to Salina Regional Hospital or driving toward your home birth in Concordia Kansas like it’s the final scene in a movie.


Being on call for your birth means I say “YES!” to you and “maybe” to my own life.


As a birth photographer and doula serving Salina, Concordia, and the surrounding North Central Kansas area, my job is so much more than clicking a shutter.


It’s reading the room.

It’s knowing when to step in and when to disappear into the background like a ninja with a camera.

It’s protecting your space.

It’s supporting your partner.

It’s catching the exact second your baby is placed on your chest and your whole world shifts.

That’s what you’re investing in.

Okay now let’s talk Motherhood sessions.


Motherhood sessions look different because yes, we can actually put those on a calendar like normal humans. ;)  But they are just as important. You are not paying me to tell you to stand there and smile while everyone is slightly sweating and irritated. Instead, we deep dive weeks in advance. We talk about what is truly important to your family. Are you more downtown Salina, loving brick streets and city vibes? Or are you barefoot in a golden pasture outside of Concordia Kansas, kids running wild and free like we’re in old film days?


We narrow everything down into an experience your family will actually love. Not tolerate. Love! I scout locations that match your story. We plan outfits head to toe. Yes, even Dad. Especially Dad. We create something intentional. Because it isn’t just a photo. It’s the way your toddler tucks their hand into yours. It’s the way your baby looks at you like you hung the moon. It’s a memory your family will hold onto long after the season changes.


So what do I charge?

Birth Photography starts at 1,500.

Motherhood Sessions begin at 350.


And I know that’s an investment.

But this is once in a lifetime storytelling.

You don’t get to redo your birth!

You don’t get to redo the way your child’s hand fits perfectly inside yours right now.


The truth is you’re not just paying for photos.


You’re paying for collaboration.


Sixteen plus years of experience.


On-call sacrifice.


Creative vision.


Emotional awareness.


My dedication to learn all the ways to best support you in your birth and YES postpartum!


This is the kind of uniqueness you truly will not find anywhere else.

If you’re just price shopping, that’s okay. No hard feelings at all. But I’m probably not your photographer. If you’re looking for someone who will show up at 3:08am like you’re a VIP .......

That’s me.


And I would be so honored to tell your story!!!
