Welcome to Sacred Essence Photography, where every moment is captured with reverence and grace.



Step into the realm of timeless moments and captured emotions. As a photographer, my passion lies in documenting the miracle of birth, immortalizing the breathtaking journey of new life entering our world. Specializing in birth photography, I weave narratives of love, resilience, and pure joy into every frame, creating treasures to be cherished for generations.

Beyond birth, my lens embraces a spectrum of human experiences. From the anticipation of maternity sessions to the bonds of family, the individuality of creative sessions to the vows of weddings, and the energy of retreats and events, I am committed to preserving the essence of each moment.

While my heart beats for birth, I am an artist at my core. Through my lens, I craft magical sessions and art that transcends mere imagery, capturing the very essence of what I photograph.

Join me in this journey of storytelling, where every photograph resonates with the true essence of life's most precious moments.

  • A birth story is a documentation of the labor, delivery, and immediate postpartum moments of childbirth. It's a visual story that captures the raw emotions, intimate moments, and significant events surrounding the arrival of a new life into the world.

    In a birth story session provided by Sacred Essence Photography, we offer a personalized and compassionate approach to documenting this sacred journey. Our aim is to capture the essence of the birthing experience while respecting your privacy, preferences, and comfort level.

    Here's what you can expect from our birth story sessions:

    -Pre-Consultation: We'll start with a pre-session consultation to discuss your birth plan, preferences, and any specific moments or elements you want to prioritize in the documentation.

    -On-Call Availability: As your due date approaches, we'll be on-call and available 24/7 to ensure we're ready to capture the birth whenever it happens.

    -Documenting Labor and Delivery: We'll discreetly document the progress of labor, the support of loved ones, and the momentous journey of bringing your baby into the world.

    -Emotional Moments: From tender moments of connection between partners to the raw emotions of labor, we'll capture the full spectrum of feelings experienced during childbirth.

    -First Moments: We'll capture those precious first moments of bonding between parent and baby, including the first cry, skin-to-skin contact, and the first breastfeeding session.

    -Postpartum Moments: Our coverage extends to the immediate postpartum period, documenting the joy, relief, and exhaustion that often follow childbirth.

    -Customized Storytelling: Each birth story is unique, and we'll tailor our approach to ensure we capture the moments that are most meaningful to you, preserving them in a beautifully curated collection of photographs.

The photographer

Hello, I'm Serena.

I'm deeply passionate about the art of photography. My journey with photography began in my teenage years when I discovered the magic of capturing moments through a lens. However, it was the profound experience of having my own birth documented that ignited my love for birth photography.

As a mother myself, I understand the transformative power of childbirth and the beauty inherent in every moment of the journey. My goal is to capture the essence and story of birth in a way that honors its sacredness and preserves its fleeting beauty for generations to come.

In addition to birth photography, I also have a deep appreciation for the mystical and divine. I love creating goddess portraits that capture the sacred essence and magic of femininity. Each portrait is an opportunity to delve into the depths of creativity and bring forth something truly enchanting.

Based in Sacramento, California, I am fortunate to call this vibrant city home. However, my love for photography knows no bounds, and I am always eager to travel the world in pursuit of capturing sacred moments and creating magical imagery.

Whether you're welcoming a new life into the world or seeking to embody your inner goddess, I'm here to collaborate with you and bring your vision to life. Let's embark on a journey of creativity and magic together.
