Lori Martinez - Birth Photographer and Doula

Lori Martinez - Birth Photographer and Doula I am a professional birth photographer and doula located in the Albuquerque, NM area.

I began my journey into birth photography/doulaing after experiencing for myself two beautiful, empowering, and totally life altering home births, as well as one awesome hospital birth. My birth experiences sparked a passion in me for birth work, and specifically to beautifully and professionally document these incredibly life changing moments, as well as to support families welcoming their little ones to the world.

My dearest clients and friends, I wanted to officially announce that after 7 wonderful years as an exclusive birth photographer and many more as a family photographer, I am moving on to new adventures in my career! I have accepted a position as an Elementary School Music Teacher with APS! Music is another lifelong passion of mine, and my degree is in Education, so I am incredibly excited to start this new journey in August! I wanted to thank all of my clients from the bottom of my heart for the years of trusting me with your biggest memories. I consider my time photographing and doulaing for you the most special and meaningful job of my life. I was able to witness ~100 births and each of them was incredibly unique and beautiful. I love all of my clients so much, you each hold a special place in my heart. THANK YOU, for making my dream of becoming a birth photographer a reality. I hope to continue to work with my past clients for family and other photoshoots as I am able, so don't be a stranger! I may still even take a birth here and there in the summers or as a part of a team with other local birth photographers! But my focus for now is shifting towards my new career! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for these wonderful years serving you!!

It was such an honor to attend this amazing twin birth! From a torn Achilles repair surgery just days before these boys made their arrival, to a difficult postpartum, these two were such troopers!! This mama was able to deliver both her babies vaginally, in the OR, and they're doing wonderful in the NICU with minimal support despite arriving at 33 weeks! Theresa and Channda, your birth was so inspirational, thank you for having me there to document such a beautiful experience! Congratulations!!

I got to attend this amazing home birth recently and this mama was such a warrior! Things went fast and intense once active labor kicked in. Baby decided to come right before Dad's graduation from the police academy, so he still got to make it to the ceremony a few hours after baby was born! Mama even cut baby's cord herself! Big sister wasn't entirely sure about the new addition as she met her new sister right when she woke up in the morning and the grogginess hadn't quite worn off yet ๐Ÿ˜‚ I never cease to be amazed at how powerful birthers are....when you think you just can't do it, you pull from something deep within and realize you can!

This kitty knew mama needed some warmth and cuddles on her tired uterus after birth! haha! Kitty cuddles in your own bed are definitely a perk of home birth! ๐Ÿ˜ป

This birth was so much FUN!! This mama has one of the best senses of humor of anyone that I know and she kept all of us laughing hysterically throughout her labor and birth with her candid joking about how much this effing hurts! It kept the mood light and fun through something that is so difficult and intense! She labored outdoors in the cool evening air in the labrynth, but when her water broke, we knew baby was going to come QUICK and she did! Fast and intense! She was phenomenal and roared her way through the intensity and birthed her baby!

YOU GUYS. I cannot handle these lips!! How freaking smooshy and cute is she!?!??!! ๐Ÿ˜

There is just something special about the gaze of a baby minutes old. It always fascinates me the eye contact brand new babies give! I got to welcome this sweet girl, Salem, recently and I can't wait to share more of her birth story soon!
