What does a doula do during labor?
A doula provides non-medical physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after birth. From breathing techniques and position changes to advocacy and encouragement, your doula helps you and your partner feel calm, confident, and informed throughout labor - whether at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital.
When should I hire a doula?
It’s best to connect with a doula by your second trimester so you have time to build trust, plan your birth preferences, and secure your support team. Postpartum and overnight care can also be booked during pregnancy or anytime after baby arrives, depending on availability.
Do postpartum doulas help overnight?
Yes. Overnight doula support helps parents get the rest they desperately need. Your doula cares for baby through the night-diapering, soothing, feeding support, tracking sleep and feeds-while you sleep. If you’re breastfeeding, we gently bring baby to you and handle everything afterward so you can fall right back asleep.
Birth & Family Photography
Our doulas who specialize in birth and family photography bring a gentle, documentary-style approach to capturing your most meaningful moments. From the strength of labor to the first moments of bonding and the everyday magic of family life - they preserve your story with authenticity, emotion, and intention.
ā
With a focus on connection over posing, these sessions allow you to stay fully present while we quietly document the love, details, and milestones you’ll want to remember forever. Whether it’s the raw beauty of birth or the warmth of a family gathering at home, our doulas create timeless images that honor your journey into and through parenthood.

![Childbirth class should do more than explain stages of labor.
It should help you make informed decisions under pressure, understand what labor actually feels like, and prepare your partner to support you with confidence.
Thatās exactly what my childbirth education classes are designed to do.
We focus on practical education, real-life scenarios, and tools you can actually use before and during birth.
