For the love of the mother…

Temple of Birth was founded with a reverence for mothers everywhere. For the many hands that support mothers, the stories untold, the beauty in the mundane, and for our precious mother earth, whom I believe heals deeply when mothers everywhere are acknowledged for their devotion to life itself.

Women from all walks of life are welcome to share their stories in this space - from preconception to birth to motherhood, and those who tend to mothers, too.

Photography sessions are currently available within a 3-hour radius of Los Angeles.

Prices start at $690 - please reach out for more information.
