ERICA MCMILLAN

FOUNDER/PHOTOGRAPHER AT MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY OAHU

Over the years I have fallen in love with capturing the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of women during pregnancy and childbirth, a passion born from my work as a midwifery apprentice, doula, and lactation counselor over the past 20 years (did I mention I’m also a mother of 5)? Through these intimate experiences I have gained an understanding and immense appreciation for the physical, emotional & spiritual processes at work within, as we journey into motherhood.  Birth work has been a part of my life throughout my mothering journey and I continue to seek opportunities to support and nurture women via birth & postpartum doula care.

With all the fears, challenges, & decisions we face during the birthing process I feel it’s essential to make time to celebrate and honor the journey along the way. I’ve seen over & over how creative projects like pregnancy portraits, bellycasts, and body art allow mothers-to-be to get out of their heads for awhile, loosen up, have fun, and get excited about the miraculous processes at work inside of them!

I invite you to join me in capturing the fleeting moments and beauty of mother and baby as one by indulging in a creative endeavor that you can reflect on and enjoy for a lifetime.

My photography work has been featured in Mother’s Care marketing materials.

Our bellycasts have been featured in the Star Bulletin and on Hawaii Now as part of the Hawaii Baby Expo!

UNIQUE!
