backup birth photographers

Mary

Hi! I’m Mary. I’m a wife. A mom. A pediatric occupational therapist. A photographer. Those little cuties you see with me are my beautiful little muses. They are the inspiration behind my journey in photography. The journey that started the month my daughter was born.

Becoming a mom has brought so many beautiful, funny, messy, and fleeting moments. Photography has become my way of capturing and holding onto those gorgeous moments. It’s been amazing to be able to capture so many of their sweet moments that my mommy brain would have likely forgotten by now.

Melissa

Hi! I’m Melissa. I’m an introverted, T-shirt wearing, animal loving, nature admiring, lucky wife, mother of 3, photography and birth obsessed lady.

I have always been interested in photos and the story behind them.  As a kid, I would go through my grandmother’s old photo albums any chance I got!  Her face used to light up as she recalled the events and people in the pictures.  Photography was always a fun hobby for me during my youth. My ah-ha moment was when I saw photos of a birth.  WOW!  Such raw emotion during the most important day in a parent’s life!

Dallas

Hi! I’m Dallas and I am a Jacksonville birth photographer. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012 and chose to specialize in birth photography in 2017. I have had the pleasure of photographing births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes across Jacksonville and St. Augustine and I am so blessed to have found my calling in life. I am a trained doula through Birth Arts International and I use that training to better serve my birth photography clients. My husband and I have two children; my daughter Alexis who was born at the UF Birth Center and my son Gavin who was born at home with a midwife. I’m grateful to be a part of our birth community!
