Alongside Childbirth

Childrearing styles & decisions are found 

 You started making preparations with all of the information and tools you needed to accomplish the peaceful birth you hope for. Every instinctual decision a parent makes is out of love and wanting the best for their little one. There is not one specific way "the best birth" would look like. As a parent, you intuitively know what that looks like for you, Delivering your child will be the first memory that you create with your partner and your little one. It is your first steps into parenthood. This is your story you will share with them for the rest of your lives. Having a peaceful birth is the first step to continuing the rest of your journey of in childrearing, as a gentle, patient, & intuitive parent.

Memories through Experiences

tethered to the ones you love

"I surrender to the process of birth, it brings my baby to me" I was safe and surrounded by love from my partner and baby. Suddenly, that process was interrupted when I was ushered to the hospital bed. With what felt like the last of my energy, I brought my son earth side. The birth of my son was the first experience and memory that I have with him. It is our story, and that story continued through the postpartum stage. I was left feeling both empowered, and the need to heal & process my birth.


"I surrender to the process of birth, it brings my baby to me" was an affirmation my doula repeated to me during labor. There was a healing energy that surrounded me in labor. My life partner held me, I would not let him leave my side. His embrace is what grounded me. I was safe and surrounded by love. Suddenly, that process was interrupted when the hospital staff ushered me to the hospital bed, instructing me through every following stage. After pushing with what felt like the last of my energy, I brought my son earth side. In that moment, I only felt love for him. The birth of my son was the first experience and memory that I have with him. It is our story, and that story continued through the postpartum stage. I was left feeling both empowered, and the need to heal & process my birth.


My experience influenced my photography and support methods. I am intentional with my camera and support. My priority will always be to help mothers/birthing people create the atmosphere of love to help bond with their baby and partner- uninterrupted. When you look back your photos, I hope you see the divine power of birth comes within you. Your contractions, presence, and force every experience, found within you. This is the story and memory that you are creating with your partner & your baby.


My experience influenced my photography and support style. I am intentional about my presence in the birthing space. I provide what is needed for you to birth, empowered. While staying involved, the priority will always be to help you create the atmosphere of love to help bond with you baby and partner- uninterrupted. I support by providing information, suggestions for birthing positions, physical relief, and mental/emotional support. But most importantly I will be making sure that your birth space is honored and reserved for you, your partner, and baby. When you look back your photos, I hope you see your love, healing, and strength. The divine power of birth comes within you. Your contractions, presence, and force all found within you. This is the story and memory that you are creating with your partner & your baby.


"I highly recommend Eva for doula and photography services. We used her for both and each experience was amazing. She took beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. She is so knowledgeable about labor and labor prep, so responsive, validating, encouraging, and a calming presence."

"Eva was amazing through the birthing process. She gave me the guidance I needed beforehand and in the moment to help my wife with laboring. When our birth didn’t go as planned, she was ready with methods to help things along, words of encouragement, tools, and creating and atmosphere for my wife to be successful in the type of birth we had hoped for. Somehow through all of this, she was also able to capture incredible photos of the process. The photos we have now are great reminders of what we did during a pivotal moment in our lives as a family." 

What Clayton said:

"Eva is incredible, she took our engagement photos and then was also our doula for my sons birth. My son was being born 8 weeks early and as you can imagine I was stressed, she made sure I was as calm as possible and catered to my every needs. "

what Alexis Said:

"Eva did my maternity photos, my birth photos and my family photos. She is always so professional and kind and her pictures are beautiful! She is very responsive and pays attention to little details. I was a little apprehensive about having a photographer at my birth but I am so glad I did! Eva added a great calm energy to my birth and I will forever treasure the photos she took!" 

what courtney said:

"Eva was great! I texted her when I went into labor and she came right away. She was kind and confident in her role. She knew how to stay out of the way of the nurses and doctors and still get amazing photos - documenting the birth story of my first born. She conversed with my family and honestly helped the atmosphere in the room stay light and happy. I would definitely choose her again!"

The first 6 months of my life was a haze. I was robbed- from my memories and my presence as a new mother.

A Documentary series to continue the conversation about postpartum

The first 6 months of my life was a haze. Postpartum ideally is a cherished stage of parenthood. I was a new mother, it was suppose to be a journey of healing, an intimate period of bonding. But frankly, I was robbed- from my memories and my presence as a new mother. As I try to claim it back, and I find myself doing that by looking back to my phone recordings and photos.
This is the point of the Fourth Trimester Project. To reclaim, restore, and give parents back the opportunity to heal and to bond.  I encourage all families/ parents to apply and participate.
