Doula Support Packages
Welcome. Pregnancy can certainly be one of the most exciting and overwhelming times of your life. Planning for delivery, and recruiting your birth team is an integral part of preparing to bring your little one into the world. I am so thrilled that you are considering investing in your birth by hiring a doula!
As a photographer, I see the undeniable beauty in each birth - but as a doula I am also passionate about childbirth education and preparation! If you are a first time mom (or anytime mom!) or have previous birth trauma, a skilled doula can be an excellent addition to your birth team.)

Maternity
In the comfort of your own home, outdoors, or on location. Capture some timeless images of your beautiful, blossoming baby bump before it’s gone.
Commemorate your miraculous metamorphosis, and that special connection with your partner, before the arrival of your little one... You’ll never regret having lovely, flattering, professional photos of your radiant pregnant figure!

$175
(Reg $195 for non-birth clients)
FRESH SESSION
At the hospital, birth centre, or once you are settled at home after the birth of your baby. A “fresh session” is a beautiful way to capture the magic as you acquaint your newborn with the world.
This can be scheduled for immediately after the birth, once you are ready for grandparents or siblings to come meet the baby. Alternatively, this session could take place up to 48 hours afterwards, once you are settled at home. These sweet early days are the quickest to pass, and quickly forgotten in the haze of postpartum.
My heart for these sessions is to authentically capture the raw beauty and emotions in the postpartum period - the reality, vulnerability, euphoria, exhaustion, delight, relief, and unbridled joy that comes from welcoming a new baby into this world.
Includes a 1-2 hour session and a private online gallery of professionally edited images.
