BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY + DOULA SERVICES
I have combined my greatest passions to provide the ultimate experience for Vancouver families welcoming their new little ones into the world. I am available for birth photography on it’s own, or combine a birth photography package with doula services to experience the best birth possible. I am open to capturing as much or as little of your birth story as you are comfortable with. While I believe that birth is beautiful and deserves to be seen in a more positive light, there is no obligation to share images on my site, or social media platforms. This journey is sacred and incredibly private to some, and I respect whatever you are comfortable with.
*a 50% deposit is due upon booking. Remaining 50% must be paid before on call period starts. Add doula services to either the full or deluxe photography package, for just $950, add videography to the full birth package for an additional investment of $650.
BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY
At least 4 weeks before your estimated due date, I will schedule a virtual meeting to go over what aspects of the birth you are comfortable having photographed-this is when we will also go over any last minute questions, and I will explain when and what number to call. I will join you during active labour and stay for 1-2 hours postpartum, or until you are settled. While I believe that sharing positive birth experiences is vital to changing the way the world sees birth, it is not a requirement for working with me. If you would like to keep your birth story private, I will respect that completely. For those that would like to share, I will have 5 web ready images for social media available within 48 hours. Your birth story will be fully edited and ready to view within 6 weeks of the birth. Printed product may take up to 4 weeks from order date.
DOULA SERVICES
I offer 2 prenatal and 1 postpartum visits either virtually, or at a location we decide upon together. During the prenatal appointments we can discuss your birth preferences, and I will make sure you have all the resources you need to feel ready for birth of your baby. On the day labour starts, I will join you within 1 hour of your request for support and stay 2 hours postpartum or until you feel settled. I may come and go as needed in the earlier stages of labour, as long as you feel well supported. Use of my TENS machine is also available to all of my doula clients. The postpartum visit will take place within the first week following the birth. I offer additional breastfeeding support, past the initial postpartum visit if needed.
This work is sacred to me, and I am committed to being there for my clients during this incredible experience. I will be on call 24/7 from 38 weeks to birth and I work with an amazing back up in the event that I am unable to attend for reasons beyond my control. I will only take clients for both birth doula and photography when my clients understand that my role as their doula is my first priority- What good are beautiful photos of your birth if you don’t fee supported and/or out of control during the process?
