Hi, I'm Bonnie!
Army veteran, house plant and garden enthusiast, and photographer with a love for creating meaningful images.
My interest in birth and postpartum work started when I was pregnant with my youngest. Just a few short months after birthing her, I had the opportunity to document a friend's birth story. And that was "all she wrote." From there I dived head first into birth work, and trained as a postpartum doula to better assist my clients during and after their birth story.
I started my photography business in Seattle, WA, served clients across Florida, and now call North Carolina home. I photograph birth, maternity, newborn/fresh 48 stories in Raleigh, Fayetteville, and nearby communities.
Over the years, I’ve found myself most drawn to photographing life exactly as it unfolds.. The everyday moments — the ones we’re often too busy to notice — are where the real stories live. No one’s life is picture-perfect, and that’s the beauty of it. One day, the chaos will quiet: the piles of tiny clothes will be gone, the sink won’t be full of sippy cups, and the hallways won’t be lined with sports gear. My work is about preserving these fleeting, imperfect, irreplaceable moments so you can look back and remember not just how things looked, but how they felt.
