Introduction:

Hello, beautiful souls! I'm excited to open up and share a bit about my multifaceted journey that intertwines my roles as a birth doula and a passionate photographer with New Dawn Birth Co. Join me as I weave together my story of discovering love, passion, and purpose in the beautiful world of birth.

Discovering My Calling:

My journey commenced with an immense passion for couples photography, and it led me down the path to become a birth doula. My drive stemmed from a deep desire to provide unwavering support and education to women stepping onto the remarkable path of birthing new life into the world.

However, in this journey, something incredibly profound unfolded. As I delved deeper into the realms of birth and motherhood, I discovered that my camera had seamlessly become an extension of my heart and soul.

A Heartfelt Connection Through Photography:

Through the lens, I found a profound way to capture the vulnerability, rawness, and immeasurable beauty inherent in every birth. What began as a passion for supporting and guiding women on their birthing journeys evolved into a dual calling—to both offer my presence as a birth doula and artistically document these transformative moments through photography.

A Synergy of Roles:

Balancing my role as a birth doula alongside my profound love for photography has been an incredible journey of discovering synergies. With a documentary-style approach, I strive to create visual tales that transcend words. My aim is to unravel the extraordinary and captivating essence embedded within every birth story.

Preserving Miracles Through Images:

In the sacred space of birth, I am privileged to witness the strength and resilience of mothers and their partners. It's an honor that fuels my passion to capture these tender, raw, and miraculous moments for eternity. Each photograph I take serves as a testament to the breathtaking power of life.

Conclusion:

Thank you for allowing me to share this significant part of my journey. It's a profound joy to intertwine my roles as a birth doula and photographer, preserving life's miracles in every frame. I look forward to embracing the incredible stories that unfold before me.
