Re:Birth

What are you paying for when you hire a doula?

Here's a pretty good graphic that helps to explain that. 💁🏽‍♀️ Give the gift 🎄 of a doula. Best baby shower gift EVER!

One of my favorite parts of breastfeeding is seeing your child thrive and chunk up ❤️ I love her sweet thighs! Knowing that my body has supplied all she needs for over 15 months in and out of the womb makes all the struggles worth it ❤️

Working on my photography skills with a sweet six month old ❤️

I don't think I will ever get over how much I love these photos! ❤

Many people think birth photography is always graphic, but I don't think they realize it doesn't have to be 🧡

I know I sure didn't realize that with my first. I wanted as few people in the room as possible. Now I look back and wish we had photos. My mom thankfully snapped a few, but it was really only a few before and then right after baby was born. I really wish I had known.💛

Yes, birth photographers usually try to get a few shots of baby crowning or in-between the womb world and the outside world. However, that doesn't mean that you have to have those shots taken! Those shots can also be taken from more 'modest' angles if that is what you prefer. All you have to do is let your photographer know your preferences. Birth photographers are there to document a completely transformational experience in your life. 💚

did such a wonderful job with Em's birth photos. She has completely sold me on its importance. I will never not recommend having someone there to capture the incredible journey into parenthood 💙

I can only hope I will be a fragment of how good she is in the future 💜

Took my HESI A2 Exam today! I was so nervous, but it all turned out alright. One small step closer to becoming a midwife!

My lovely MIL dropped off a copy of Albany Living magazine with this article marked for me to read ❤ love the support!

If you'd like labor support for your upcoming birth, reach out to me ❤ having a supportive doula really can make all the difference!
