Hello! My name is Alexis, lover of Jesus and the face behind Womb and Word. I am creative at
heart, when I am not taking pictures I am dabbling in graphic design, painting, making ceramics,
or exploring our beautiful city, Tucson! I’m married to my best friend Isaac and thoroughly enjoy
wife life. Let’s be friends!
About Womb & Word
Alexis
I have always been a creative and artistic vision is something that I feel I was born with. I have been doing photography ever since my first class in high school. Something people always ask me when they hear Im a birth photographer is “WHY?”, and to be honest this field took me by surprise too. It all started when I began to get birth and motherhood related photos in my instagram feed and my visceral reaction would be CRY.
This was odd because I have never experienced baby fever or had strong wants of being a mother myself but I saw the BEAUTY of motherhood! I saw how special and precious a mother’s connection to her child really is. When I realized how amazing this process is I took a doula course to really understand the ins and outs of birth. With my doula certificate in hand I partnered my love of photography and birth work to create Womb and Word birth and motherhood photography! Over the years I have been so blessed to attend births of all shapes and sizes and document the exciting journey of motherhood for countless families.
My goal and passion is to create a safe, comfortable space for your raw beauty and strength to be documented in a graceful and honoring way! Birth is an intimate experience that is so often painted as terrifying or ugly, but that is far from the truth. Your birth is going to be beautiful because You are beautiful. There’s no need to feel the pressure of being “picture perfect”, let go of every worry because there is no “right way” to do this. Every birth is different; From cesarean to home births we can document your birth story for you to cherish forever!
