About my guest:

Tavia Redburn is a birth and newborn photographer based in Oklahoma City. She serves OKC moms who crave beautiful images of their babies so they never forget any detail about the day they were born or how perfectly tiny they were in those first days of life. She also teaches other photographers how to build a six figure photography studio so they can quit their 9-5 or retire their partner, like she did in 2017.
