Welcome Arms
...Embracing you where you are
As a Photographer
... capturing your BIRTH, FAMILY JOURNEY, & LIFE moments through IMAGERY.
Inspiring, Supporting & Empowering women in pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
Capturing family connections, freezing that special MOMENT in TIME.
Working alongside LOCAL entrepreneurs to create a VISUAL presence that is YOU.
Working with CHILDREN & YOUTH using images as a tool to help them identify with SELF.

Photography for me is more than images, it is a tool that can speak to, and touch your soul.

Welcome Arms was created to provide you with images and memories to cherish always... to work with you, your loved ones, your vision, your energy... to create an image collection that tells a STORY, your story...

Lifestyle Photography captured through my lens... from my WELCOME ARMS to YOURS.

As a Mentor & Educator
... holding space for you to feel and experience what you need in the moment.

Providing guidance and love to inspire and educate women and girls on your life journey.
Some of my strengths include creativity, connection and honesty. I am a life-long learner, loving to immerse myself in learning, while in the process staying true to myself, honoring nature, and providing a welcome environment for growth, discovery and healing. With photography as a platform, combined with connection, truth & knowledge, while holding space and respect for nature and others, Welcome Arms provides opportunities for personal growth and transformation.

The inspirational workshops with Welcome Arms are circle gatherings where we introduce and enforce life tools from discussions and reflections on daily necessities like sleep and nutrition. We talk mind-body-connection and delve into discussing Self, our connection to self/others/nature, as well as learn practices that may resonate and support you in your life journey including dance/creative movement, sound therapy, art expression, yoga, meditation. There is no "fixing" ... focus is on empowerment, knowledge, inspiration and support. When we gather, when we listen, when we love, when we trust... we emerge a truer version of ourselves.

Workshops include...
A Girl's Journey - Inspirational Circles for Girls ... ages 11-14
Unveiling - individual and group sessions for women embracing their authenticity, letting down the veil, showing up in the world, true to themselves.
Nurture Love Grow - breastfeeding circle gatherings... sharing stories of our nursing journey; holding space.
... All Inspirational workshops include photography... imagery is powerful; it heals, it inspires, and so much more!

This second tier of Welcome Arms was created to foster a sense of connection and community with like-minded women and girls looking to feel and immerse themselves in the power of women gathering solely for the purpose to share, support and love. It is a space where I combine and share my passions and I welcome other women in the community to do the same, and this brings me much gratitude and joy.

Living a life of creativity and fulfillment while gathering with, and supporting one another, within each others Welcome Arms!

I look forward to welcoming you.
Much love from Welcome Arms,
Mandy
