Mikayla Stagg Photography & Doula Services

10/25/2025

It's been a little too long away from the camera. Now accepting clients for Lifestyle Family sessions as well as Lifestyle Newborn sessions and Fresh 48s. I am stepping back into accepting doula clients as well, but for now I will only be taking postpartum doula clients. That said, the old logo while I adore it, no longer fit since I have stepped away from birth work for the time being. So, I have designed this new one.

Its with a heavy heart I have to announce I will be stepping away from birth work for the time being. I have never loved anything as much as I have loved this. The immense sense of purpose and gratefulness I have felt getting to do this job has been amazing and something I can't explain with words. However, it has become increasingly harder to take on births with 1 vehicle and me not driving. Finding reliable backups has been tough and financially it has been difficult to find sustainability between all the costs of being on call, backups, back up childcare, and general running my business costs like editing programs, website, marketing, etc. I will of course continue out with any births already booked, but I will no longer be taking new clients. To everyone who has supported me and given me the honor of supporting and documenting their birth, thank you. I got to live my dream and I'll always be thankful for that. I hope one day I'll be able to come back to it possibly when my littles arent as little anymore, but for now this chapter is coming to a close.

Sweet baby number 4. I can not wait to meet you. You are already so very loved, cherished, and wanted. So many are eager to meet you. I can not wait to bring you earthside and hold you in my arms.
For those who don't know, I will be livestreaming this birth here on my instagram. I will be going/staying live in labor and through the birth while we welcome this baby into the world in the comfort of our own home. This will be my 2nd homebirth, 3rd VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), and 4th birth as a plus size woman. I have an amazing birth team to support me including my husband, trio of the best midwives, and birth photographer (who is also the reason for this gorgeous image). Just a few more weeks until baby time 💗

Because regardless of the scars on the uterus, it doesn't forget how to birth.

I see this A LOT.

‘If you want to increase your supply,....’
👉🏻drink that pink drink from Starbucks
👉🏻eat oatmeal for breakfast
👉🏻drink a Body Armour everyday

🛑I’m going to stop right there🛑

Mamas....no.
Just stop.

Yes, there are such things as galactagogues..aka..substances said to increase milk supply.

And, they might give you a little boost….temporarily.

But, it won’t last.

You know the best way to increase and/ or maintain your supply?

Nurse your baby on demand.
Pump more frequently if you’re a pumping mama.

I’ve nursed 4 babies into toddlerhood, and in those early days, nursing is the answer to EVERYTHING.

Baby fusses?
Nurse them
They’re tired?
Nurse them
Diaper changed and they’re still upset?
Nurse them
They woke up from their nap and they’re crying?
Nurse them
They’re nervous, because you’re somewhere unfamiliar?
Nurse them
They’re nervous, because there are new people?
Nurse them

Unapologetically and unashamedly, nurse your babies.

If you’re a pumping mama…pump more often. Not necessarily for longer periods of time. Just. More. Often.

Demand = supply
Frequency is key👌🏻

That is how you establish and maintain a steady supply.

Not pink drinks and oatmeal.
