Birth Announcements

Naiyah Mary Jarrett was born on a sunny and mild day in March of 2006 after 40 hours of labor to my dear friend, fabulous artist, and subsequent creator/owner of June Plum LLC, Kate Jarrett. 

In my experience (all 28 years of them) as a woman, a mother, and a midwife, I have found that the birth of children and the creation families tends to bring about unexpected changes in us. Most often they are deeply personal ideas of who we are and who we want to be. Giving birth, for many of us, is an experience that teaches us that we can be and do anything we want in this life but more importantly, the experience reminds us that we only have one life in which to accomplish these often lofty goals.

Soon after Naiyah was born, Kate remembered how important her art had once been to her. After years of studying science, medicine, nursing, and midwifery, she longed to rediscover her roots as an artist and she wanted to share this spirit with others. From this desire emerged June Plum. 

When Naiyah was just a wee little thing, Kate began painting her onesies, this lead to her first sketches, which eventually became her fall 07' line of kids shirts.
