This feeling that one of the most monumental days of your life is soon approaching. Of unconditionally loving someone you've never met. Of selflessly sharing your body with another. Sacrificing your comfort, your time, your abilities. It's an amazing feeling, and one that doesn't come without its challenges, but it's welcome nonetheless.

this feeling

This moment you have spent exhausting days and sleepless nights waiting for. When everything you have endured up until now suddenly becomes worth it. Accompanied with the realization of "I actually did it!" Awe, shock, relief. This is the part of the story everyone has been so invested in. This is the moment you meet a piece of your heart.

This love is endless. It fills your whole heart and warms your soul. It gives you purpose. And a fiery, relentless desire to protect this little being with every bit of strength and courage in you. It surprises even yourself. Bringing out qualities within you that you never knew existed. Suddenly it's hard to imagine the life you knew before this love.

This life is chaotic. It is messy. It is hard. But you wouldn't have it any other way, because the ones you call family make it all worthwhile. This life is beautiful and full of love, wonder, and amazement. Our time in this life is too short, but those sweet, tender moments of closeness make the inevitability of passing time seem to fade away.

-I get so much more personal on my 'about' page. Click here if you're interested.-

I am a certified birth photographer through Birth Becomes Her. Along with that, I have successfully completed a professional birth videography course and am working on completing my second birth photographer certification through The Beauty in Birth. Although I do not plan on offering doula services, I have recently begun a doula certification course, so that I can further expand my knowledge and understanding of birth.

I list these accomplishments to show you just how seriously I take this work and the respect I have for the birth space. I don't believe it is something that any photographer can jump into without some serious preparation. It is unlike any other type of photography, and a once-in-a-lifetime event. There aren't any do-overs, and it can be overwhelming and unpredictable. Whether you choose to hire me to photograph your birth, or someone else, I hope these words stay with you throughout your search. It so very important you trust the people you bring into your intimate and sacred birth space!

I'm Kaylene.

hello!

I offer maternity, birth, newborn, and motherhood photography in Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding east valley cities.

"Kaylene just took Fresh 48 pictures for our new baby girl. We met a few weeks prior to delivery. She went over all of the details & answered my questions. She was flexible and supportive when we found out my due date was going to be earlier than expected. When picture day arrived, she came prepared. We didn’t have to worry about anything as she captured beautiful shots of our special event. These pictures are memories that we will cherish forever." - Angela V
