Blessed Inheritance Birth Photography
Besides being a doula, I am also a birth photographer serving in and around St. Louis, Missouri. My love of birth photography began with the arrival of my little brother. My mother at the time was a professional photographer (and I was oftentimes her assistant), and my brother was both my mother and I's captive subject for photos beginning that first morning. After becoming a doula, one of my clients asked if I would mind snapping a few pictures during her labor. I loved doing it so much that I decided to offer birth photography, with or separate from my doula services.
Documenting the birth of a child is such a privilege and I am honored to offer this service to interested families. My approach to birth photography is very tasteful, unobtrusive & photojournalistic. A child’s birth is such a magical and emotional experience and I am very passionate about capturing that momentous occasion so that you can relive the joy over and over again through the photographs.

My Services
Each month I take a very limited number of clients (both just as a doula and as a photographer), and to hold your spot in my schedule you will place a deposit at the time you hire me. The balance of your payment is due before I go on call for you at 38 weeks gestation.
I highly recommend hiring a birth photographer separately from doula services, as I will only be able to focus on one service or the other at a time, and want to give you the best care possible.
If you are are hiring me in conjunction with my doula services, we will discuss what types of photos you would like & go over some tips to help make your pictures even better during one of our prenatal meetings. We will discuss at that meeting when to call me.
If you are hiring me just as a photographer, we will meet at your place of choosing to discuss your photo preferences. As early labor begins, please contact me directly. When labor is well established I will join you, and remain through approximately an hour postpartum.
I will capture those exciting moments leading up to your baby's arrival, the first greetings and snuggles, the first feeding and baby's exam. Photos can be as discrete or candid as you like!
Post delivery all the pictures will be processed and delivered within six weeks after the delivery.
