Doula-ing his Doula Mama while she is doula-ed by her own Doula sitting behind her. #bestbirthteam

Charlie. The oldest brother. A doula. An incredible support- and the catcher of his baby sister.

My specialty is birth work but believe it or not I offer a lot of shit. Photographs for families and pregnancy and feeling badass in the skin you’ve got. Milk baths to soak in and intimate sessions for you and your lover.
You don’t need to have a baby on the way to have photos done by Me, folks. The life you’re living right now is where I do my best work. Molding images like clay in my hands with the supplies you give me- the love for yourself, your loved ones, your body, your home.

New specialty is nude relaxed portraiture. @bornathome5 drove from Cleveland with her partner and 5 babes (belly makes 6) for an hour session and I am fucking HONORED.

I asked if she had any ideas for what this shoot would look like to her- “Yeah, I want to be completely naked.” “Perfect.”

To mamas with babies in their arms today, and to the mamas with babies who are grown, to the mamas who grew them in their wombs, and to the ones who didn’t. To Moms who are dads and dads who are moms. To moms of cats and dogs and guinea pigs and goats and chickens. To the mamas whose babies are waiting for you in the sun and rain and clouds- who show up today and everyday in your memory and in the fabric of who you are. To the mamas who crave to be mamas, who wait to be mamas, who mourn to be mamas- I see you.
To those resting today, celebrating today, relaxing today, grieving today, remembering today, feeling lost and abandoned and disrespected and cherished today— You are a masterpiece. I appreciate you. All my love on this Mother’s Day.

Your body has the power to regulate your baby’s body temperature following birth- and for a great purpose! Oxytocin is the love, labor/birth and milk making hormone and Skin to skin is proven to increase oxytocin levels which means increased milk production hormones. Cause and effect, you know?

If baby is skin to skin-you’re the hat. Skip it — unless baby needs the additional support. I will say - Nurses LOVE to put the hats back on after you take them off- this may be an area where you’ll have to be assertive if you’re firm in your feelings against hats. Most L&D medical professionals are educated and supportive, but old school practices still reign supreme in some spots. Keep baby’s body temp up by staying warm and staying skin to skin with your little one.
