Our birth tubs are something special. šŸ›šŸ’™
Spacious, deep, and designed with laboring people in mind, our tubs give you the room to actually move. Shift positions, open your hips, get on hands and knees, float between contractions. The water supports your body weight so you can focus entirely on what your body needs in each moment.
Warm water is one of the most powerful natural tools for managing labor and when you have a tub big enough to truly move in, it becomes something else entirely. So many of our clients describe getting into the tub as an immediate wave of relief.

ā€¢Adoptionā€¢ all families and birthing people deserve love, honor, respect and support. When I was connected with this sweet family, preparing to meet their daughter, I was so drawn to their intention for centering the birth mom and their childā€™s experience. Being witness to and documenting their familyā€™s start was a bright joy for me this month. I canā€™t wait to share more of their happy gallery soon.

This is who is up all night with you supporting and holding. This is who is with you all pregnancy or your adoption or surrogacy journey as you prepare and wait. This is who is artfully documenting your birth and start of a new family.

ā€¢Completeā€¢ it is such a joy to hear a client say ā€œIā€™ve been envisioning this moment, can you take a photo?ā€
Absolutely 100% yes. A lot of families want to know what having a Birth Photographer is like in the birth space, especially one who is a Doula. Most of the time, you wonā€™t even notice me. Iā€™ll shoot photos in between the moments of repositioning and hands on support. But we also can do any of these ā€œIā€™ve been imaginingā€¦ā€ photos. For this mom, she imagined a photo of her husbandā€™s hands and wedding ring around her baby as he held his daughter for the first time. To see it now, I canā€™t help but be filled with such awe that she saw it, asked for it and I got to help her complete that dream image.

Did you know active labor is clinically labeled as being 6 cm dilated? What about the hours or days leading up to that point? What about the softening and effacement? What about babyā€™s position and the intensity of pressure? What about the encouragement and validation that the birthing person needs to hear, rather than smacking them with ā€œwell if you arenā€™t 5-1-1 itā€™s too early to come in?ā€ Women and birthing folx deserve so must reverence for their experience. They know best.

Those final moments of labor can feel like it is taking all you've got. But your body gives you just enough energy to get through.

The doula-client bond is something special. Sacred even. Braiding hair, holding hands, gripping a forehead, squeezing hips and reassuring during this time are some of the most intimate moments in life. Thank you to all my clients for their trust, love and birth stories. ā¤ļø
