Photography
Michelle Monk PhotographyMichelle Monk is a wonderful mother of 6 who has done almost all of our pictures with Lily. She was also present at Norah's birth.
From her website:
"When my 5th child was born, we had birth photographer present. It changed my life forever. I looked at those pictures every day for the first 6 months of my baby girl’s life. I cried, I laughed, I smiled and the next day I would do it all over again. To this day, those pictures are one of my most precious posessions. And then a passion began to burn inside of me. I wanted that for other people. I wanted to give other people the gift I had been given. The gift of those moments."
Strong, compassionate, histarical all come to mind when I think of her. All of her contact info is on her site, and for even more pictures, check out her Fan Page on Facebook.

I have seen twin deliveries at home, breech deliveries at home, VBACs in every setting, cesareans and even an amazing unassisted homebirth. I love my job and can’t wait to see what the future brings!"
The seasoned pro of our area, Lynsey is your go-to gal. Again, her contact info is there on her website, and her Fan Page on Facebook is a high traffic area for sure!
