I’m looking for five mamas due before the end of summer 2026 who want to capture those first raw, emotional hours of motherhood — the quiet, beautiful blur right after birth.

These are $200 model call sessions (normally $350+), and I’m only taking births in Smithfield, Clayton, Fayetteville or Raleigh, NC.
I’ll come within the first 48 hours — hospital or home — whenever & where-ever you want me there.

All images from these sessions may be used for my portfolio and future advertising — I never show anything too personal or crazy, just authentic storytelling of your journey.

I already have several mamas booked for 2026, but I’d love to add a few more stories to tell.

⟡ $200 limited-time model call • 5 spots only
⟡ timeless • documentary • emotional
⟡ Smithfield | Clayton | Raleigh | Fayetteville only for this special. I do serve all of NC though for regular price.

Message me to get on the schedule - full payment required.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Martinez Family.

Steve Martinez, an active racer and all around VW Enthusiast, passed away doing some surfing of an heart attack this past Thursday.

Send prayers out to Judy and Jake as they go through this unexpected turn in their life.

Give your loved ones a hug and tell them you love 💕 them. You never know what life will throw at you.

Services will be posted as soon as we get details.

Rest in Peace Steve!
We love you Judy and Jake!
Just let us know if there is anything we can do for you guys.

Love
Your SEVWA family

P.S. if you have a photo of Steve and the family at the events. Post them up. Or if you want to share some words about Steve.
