“I am first and foremost a mother to my amazing children that fill my life with so much joy and love. I have them both to thank for all the passion I have for my work. My heart is fully in my career and I pour so much love into my clients getting back so much in return. My days are full of excited expecting parents, fresh-out-of-the-tummy babies, doting new families, and an inbox that is always full of thank-yous and updated baby photos. A “job” can’t get any better than this!”
