Here at ‘In the Know Birth’, my goal is to provide you with support during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period! Browse the page below to see the local services I offer.
Birth Doula Support Package
What's Included:
Initial consultation to ensure we are a good match.
Two set prenatal visits to discuss your birth preferences, guide you through the birth plan, and prepare you for what to expect during labor and the birth of your baby. Unlimited birth discussion sessions past our two scheduled visits are included.
Labor support at your birthing site. I am there with you throughout your entire labor and into early postpartum.
Breastfeeding support for baby’s first feeding.
A postpartum follow-up to address any questions or concerns you may be having. I will bring goodies and food while we discuss your labor and birth experience.
Unlimited phone calls, emails, and texts at any hour day or night from the time of signing.
*Discounts offered as needed by families. Please reach out, as I would be happy to work with you on pricing. I firmly believe everyone should have access to doula support!
Trust the numbers. Research shows that when a doula attends births, labors are shorter, there are fewer complications, and there is less need for medical intervention:
- 25% shorter labor
- 60% reduction in epidural requests
- 40% reduction in forceps delivery
- 50% reduction in the cesarean rate
- Better chances of successful breastfeeding
- Reduced incidence of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders

My goal through birth photography is to capture the power and beauty that each person's labor and birth holds. Often times the birthing person forgets the events that unfolded in their birth and having those moments captured on camera helps to fill in those blanks and create photos that can be cherished for a lifetime! If you book with me, you can be assured that I will focus on every detail to make your experience amazing!
INCLUDES:
45 minute- 1hr session at your birthplace within 48 hours of birth
At least 25 edited digital images in both color and black and white
A few images delivered same day so that you can announce your new arrival to family and friends
Looking to have those newborn details captured at your birth place? These photos are for you! These photos allow you the chance to get your little one, your partner, and yourself dressed up all cute for photos you can share with your family and friends.
This is also a great option for getting professional pictures to post the announcement of your little one’s arrival on social media! ;)
*Bereavement Photography is offered free of charge. If you or someone you know is in need of this service, please message me via text or email.*
