Hi, I’m Ayena, a mom of two, lover of beautiful details and the creative eye behind Birch & Velvet.

​

Becoming a mother has changed the way I see moments. It has made me realize just how quickly time passes and how precious the little in-between moments truly are. That perspective is at the heart of everything I create.

​

I’ve always loved getting dressed up, a great pair of shoes, a statement hat, and finding beauty in the details. It’s no surprise that I’m drawn to weddings, celebrations, and gatherings filled with love, personality, and emotion.

​

Through Birch & Velvet, I create thoughtful, elevated storytelling that captures not just how a moment looked, but how it felt. Because the most meaningful memories deserve to be beautifully told.
