Wild Rubies Motherhood - NorCal Photography & Postpartum support

 

During the seasons of motherhood, I preserve the cherished moments and connections that tell your family’s story. Through motherhood and family photography, my goal is to capture images that feel unhurried, timeless and authentic.


In addition to photography, I offer postpartum doula support — providing maternal and newborn hands-on care, encouragement, and practical help during the fourth trimester days when rest and reassurance are needed the most.


Every mother carries immeasurable worth, and my mission is to remind her of that value through precious images or tender support.  

 

 

 

 

nice to meet you!

 

 

Hi, I’m Elyssa — but my friends call me Lyssa. I’m a Christian, a wife, outdoor enthusiast, and the heart behind Wild Rubies Motherhood. Having been the "big sis" in my large family, I have always felt a natural call to nurture and support others. My own mother has been a shining example of this my entire life.  She has always been one of the most servant-hearted woman I know with an amazing ability to make people feel at ease.


I am constantly in awe of the beauty of God's design in motherhood. My passion is capturing that beauty through every season — from pregnancy and postpartum to growing families and the everyday moments in between. I believe photos should feel authentic and preserve the quiet, meaningful chapters that pass too quickly.


In my free time, you'll find me camping or fishing with my husband, baking at home, or spending time with our golden retriever, Hudson. My heart is to remind women that they were never meant to walk this journey alone, and that their worth is immeasurable in God’s eyes.


“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.” — Proverbs 31:10


Your new gal pal,

Lyssa
