Love Notes

I cannot gush enough about the amazing documentary-style photos that [Jo] provided of my birth experience. Being able to be completely present during my labor experience & not worry about photos, while also having professional, tasteful, beautiful photos of moments, including those that I would otherwise not have seen (e.g., my son being weighed, my husband's first moments holding him when I was busy recovering post-birth) - I will treasure them for the rest of my life.

Life Begins, Art follows

I am Jo, the eye and heart behind Aila Birth Village. For the past seven years, I’ve had the honor of standing beside families as both an emergency nurse and a birth worker. Those experiences taught me that birth is never “just a day” — it’s a threshold moment, a story you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

As your photographer, my role is to be present, steady, and attuned, capturing your birth story with reverence. I document not only the big moments — your baby’s first breath, the tears in your partner’s eyes — but also the quiet details that might otherwise slip away: the way your hand was held, the light in the room, the strength in your body.

I believe every family deserves to tsee themselves in their birth story. That’s why I offer distinct packages:
