Thinking about giving birth can be intimidating, especially if you’re a first-time mom. There are so many unknowns, and books can only teach you so much. As your doula, I’ll step in with up-to-date knowledge and expertise to help you prepare, get you comfortable with labor strategies, and speak up for you whenever needed. I’m in your corner, and I’m honored to support you through this journey into motherhood.
A doula is an essential member of the birth team who’s only focus is supporting mama-to-be and the well-being of the baby. While a doula is NOT a medical professional, we are able to advocate for your wants and needs in regards to medical intervention if it is not absolutely necessary and doesn’t align with your birth plan. As a professional with birth support training, we’re able to implement various strategies to help you through the labor and delivery process in the most comfortable way possible.
There are a million ways I can support you as your birth doula, but I’m trained in specific methods to help you through your pregnancy and birth.
If you’re interested in
booking doula services,
inquire via the contact
form on my website. I’ll
connect with you to chat
about what you’re looking
for, if you’d like birth
photography, and your
vision for your labor and
delivery. We’ll get to know
each other to ensure that
we’re a good fit, and decide
on the best package for you!
Once you’re officially on
my schedule and the
retainer has been paid, I’m
all yours. I’ll provide
prenatal support and help
you with preparations
ahead of your baby’s birth.
I’ll be on-call 24/7 so you’re
stress-free knowing that
when the time comes, I’m
there.
Labor and delivery! I’ll be
there to support you
throughout the entire
process. That may look like
pain management,
emotional support, support
for your partner, or being
your advocate related to
medical intervention.
Depending on the package
you choose, that may also
involve birth photography
to document these
one-of-a-kind moments.
After your baby has been
welcomed into the world,
I’ll stay with for any
immediate postpartum
support you need. If your
chosen package includes
postpartum visits, I will
follow up with you over the
following days and weeks to
ensure that everything is
going smoothly, answer
questions, and help you in
any way that I can. You did
it, mama!
This package is the perfect choice for soon-to-be moms who want all of the support that comes with a birth doula AND all of the expertise of a professional photographer. You can relax knowing that you’ll have an advocate and trained specialist with you throughout your labor and delivery, and also know your entire journey into mom life will be captured.
This package is for expecting moms that want the extra encouragement and expertise that comes with a birth doula. With preparation, advocacy during your labor and delivery, and follow-up support, you’ll have the comfort of knowing I’m there for you.
To give you the best experience possible, I’ve worked hard in my birth doula training. My education has consisted of several special certifications so I’m able to support you in every situation both during birth and postpartum.
So many things that we choose to spend money on lose their value over time, but photography is an investment that only increases in value. This is a time in your life that is truly special, and you deserve to be celebrated for all that you do. You can never get this time back, but with photos you’ll be able to cherish these moments for the rest of your life.
Absolutely!! I know that being in front of the camera can feel a little awkward, but you don’t have to stress one bit.

Yes. While I know that can be tricky, I promise that the end result will be worth it. The memories that you’ll capture are priceless, and it’s MUCH better than trying to do it on your own.
