About Me


My name is Sarah Valente and I am a mother of five, two sets of twins and one singleton. My first set was born via cesarean, my second set was a hospital VBAC, and my singleton was born VBAC, with midwives, in a birthing center. I am a trained midwife with a passion for natural birth, but my varied birthing experiences have taught me that all birth is beautiful and miraculous.


I am a self-taught photographer, obtaining never-ending inspiration from my five willing models. But after shooting my first birth in June of 2009, it was clear that my loves of birth and photography were a perfect combination!
