hey there! i’m gladys—

I am a wife, and homeschooling mama to our four amazing kids. I have a toddler, a teenager & two sandwiched in the middle.  Our days are filled with rhythms of beautiful chaos; lots of music, learning, organic foods, essential oils, outdoor play, endless loads of laundry and many coffee refills! 

Want to know a secret? I hate to pump gas in the car, guys! I don't know why. I always have. If I'm not on-call, I usually wait 'til the last possible mile to refuel. My sweet husband does it for me every time he can, and I adore him for it! With a little guilt of course, because I kind of let him. I'm sure he figured me out by now!

As a bilingual certified birth photographer and doula I thrive on making authentic connections with my clients. Making them feel safe, loved and empowered is important to me.  I believe everyone is created on purpose and for a purpose. Therefore you have a unique and powerful story that should be told, and I love being a part of that! Likewise, my past experiences, knowledge, gifts and talents sets me up to serve you in a unique way. 

I also believe women are empowered through the right to choose how and where she gives birth. With the right support and encouragement from her birth team, any birth can be beautiful. I value the transformative power of birth, seek to honor and support mamas in their motherhood journey, and it is my greatest honor to document their legacy of love and strength.
