Birth Doula
Approaching birth can be overwhelming, whether it's your first time or your tenth. Each pregnancy + mama brings unique needs, from educational resources + local practitioner referrals to managing finances + building your postpartum support network. Birth is not just about the miracle of bringing a baby into the world but also about welcoming you into a new phase of life - that of being a mama.
As your doula, my goal is to support, educate, + encourage you, providing the tools you need to feel empowered throughout the process. For me, clients are friends in the making, + I greatly value our relationship. During our prenatal visits, we will have the chance to connect + get comfy with each other! This helps me understand your specific needs + support you more effectively. We’ll discuss your goals + concerns, envision your ideal birth environment, practice comfort measure techniques, create your birth plan, + more!
I believe in a holistic, functional approach to birth + healing, rooted in the knowledge that our bodies are naturally designed to carry, deliver, + nurture our babies with wisdom + intention. In a culture that often breeds confusion + fear, my role is to help you release those fears, listen to your body, + approach birth with a sense of peace. My mission is to ensure that you feel heard, supported, + empowered throughout your journey into motherhood.
This is a four session service that includes two prenatal visits, constant communication throughout your pregnancy, labor + birth doula support, + one postpartum visit.
Labor + Birth Photography
Motherhood is a beautiful, challenging journey. Not only is your baby being born, but so are you! Birth is a journey + experience worth documenting. Every mama has a unique story, + if you’re wondering if that includes you — absolutely, it does.
My top priority is to create a safe + comfortable environment for you before you even step in front of my camera. I’m not just here to take photos - I’m here to share this experience with you. During our prenatal visit we’ll have the chance to get to know one another so that by the time you deliver, we’ve built a relationship + trust with one another. I’ve always felt it’s way more fun to be photographed by a friend than a stranger anyways!
Prior to embarking on my path as a doula I was a professional photographer + graphic designer specializing in surf + action sports. Capturing the dynamic + often fleeting moments in action sports has honed my ability to anticipate + document powerful, authentic moments with precision + creativity. My creative experience translates seamlessly to birth + motherhood photography, where capturing the raw, emotional intensity of the birth journey requires the same keen eye + timing.
This is a two session service that includes one prenatal visit (or video call) + one labor + delivery visit.
*Can be combined with Birth Doula Package.

Growing a human is hard work! With everything that comes along with preparing + caring for baby, mamas can forget that they need to nourish themselves, heal, + replenish lost nutrients.
