Chandler AZ Photographer | Maternity Pictures at Gilbert Riparian Preserve Those who have been following along here for a while know that because of my struggle with infertility, I have tried to find ways to use photography to give back to the infertility community and raise awareness to the topic of infertility. The way I…
I am so excited to share these maternity photos today, because this shoot felt so extra special to me! Julianne and I have been “Instagram friends” for the past few years while we were both struggling with infertility. She and her husband went through the IVF process before my husband and I did, and their…
During National Infertility Awareness Week, I shared this little infertility timeline on my Instagram stories. I think it’s the best way I’ve found to summarize our infertility story for anyone who wants to catch up on our journey! If you ever have questions about infertility or IVF, or wonder what’s appropriate or sensitive to say…
Jessi and I connected through the IVF Arizona Facebook group, and it was so great to meet her in person when we got together at Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler for a mini session. I loved getting to know Jessi, Dan, and their cute daughter, E as I took their pictures. It’s clear that there…
Recently I traveled to Utah for my brother’s wedding. It was a really quick whirlwind of a trip over Labor Day weekend, but I’m so glad I had time to squeeze in this Infertility Survivor Stories photo session! (Click here if you’re unfamiliar with my Infertility Survivor Stories program.) Michelle and Dallin were winners of…
At the end of July we welcomed our sweet baby girl! Her middle name is Rose and that’s how we refer to her on public social media (we’re a little extra careful about putting her full name out on the internet that because of my husband’s career). Anyways, we are in love with her and…
I have another special infertility survivor story to share with you today! Stephanie and Art were among the winners of the ISS photo session giveaway I hosted on Instagram during National Infertility Awareness Week. Last night I got to meet Art and Stephanie in person for their photo shoot, and they are the sweetest couple–their…
I’ve been blogging about our infertility experiences for almost two years now, but somehow I have never written up the details of our infertility story with the treatments we have tried, causes of infertility we’ve ruled out, etc. I’ve blogged about the emotional side of infertility quite a bit but not so much the medical…
After three years of disappointment, tears, heartbreak, pain, unanswered questions, and failed medical treatments, we were finally able to conceive through the modern miracle of in vitro fertilization! Baby is due to arrive in early August 2017, and we are so grateful for the skilled reproductive endocrinologists, IVF coordinators, embryologists and nurses who have made…
I’m so glad that I get to share this Infertility Survivor Story with you today! Annie and I became “blog friends” after we came across each other’s infertility blogs a little over a year ago. Annie is an artist and graduate of Arizona State University while her husband Stephen is a successful pharmacist. The infertility…
Years ago I read a short but moving essay, “Welcome to Holland,” by Emily Perl Kingsley (you can read it here). The author describes what it’s like to raise a child with special needs by comparing the experience to planning a trip to Italy but finding out that your plane has landed in Holland. “Holland?!?” you say. “What…
