"In each session, I am invited to capture a part of my clients' lives. I don't take this lightly. I feel as though creating experiences and capturing the stories of my clients is not simply a "job," it is an honor for which I am deeply grateful. My lens connects me to other human beings, and it helps me tell their stories. I hope you trust in me to capture yours, too."

My name is Payton and I am in love with all things related to birth which is what got me here. I live between the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos area right in Bangor Pennslyvania, and I am just minutes from New Jersey. I have 3 kids and I’ve experienced a hospital medicated birth and 2 unmedicated home-births. It wasn’t till the birth of my second child that I fell in LOVE with birth, I wanted to give birth 100 more times! I love documenting birth stories, I think birth can be such an empowering amazing experience and having those photos to remember every little detail for the rest of your life is so important to me! Whether you’re planning a hospital medicated birth, hospital unmedicated, cesarean section, or a home birth I want to be there to tell your story!
Supporting our BIPOC and LGBTQ Birthworkers
When I had my "Little Prince" (Finn), and became involved in the birth world, I realized that I found a calling! Working with families through their pregnancies, and helping them embrace the new phase of life after birth, brings me much joy and satisfaction! I serve the northern NJ area and often work with the LGBTQ+ community.
