for birth
photography + doula services
While your medical team may come and go, I stay by your side—offering guidance, comfort measures, education, and emotional support every step of the way. I help you feel calm, confident, and seen.
This unique package combines doula care and birth photography. I intuitively balance both roles—stepping in with hands-on support when needed, and stepping back to document the powerful, unscripted moments as they unfold. So you can have not only a beautiful birth experience, but lasting memories of it, too.
This is support that honors your story—in real time and forever after.
One seamless, supportive experience—emotionally and visually.
Many people hear the word doula and either don’t know what it means or assume it’s only for unmedicated or home births. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
As your doula, I’m here to support you—your choices, your preferences, your birth. Whether you're planning a medicated birth, unmedicated, or a scheduled c-section, I provide continuous, non-judgmental support before, during, and after labor.
Doula Support + Birth Photography
My passion for birth work began with the birth of our first son, Sylas.
There were curveballs we hadn’t planned for—but thanks to our incredible doula, we never felt afraid. Her calm, reassuring presence gave us the space to stay grounded and connected. My husband didn’t feel pressured to “know what to do”; we got to simply be—a husband and wife, welcoming our baby into the world.
When I look back on Sylas’s birth, I don’t dwell on the pain or the unpredictability. I remember how supported I felt. How empowered. How loved.
That’s the experience I want to give to you.
Since then, I’ve supported families through unmedicated, medicated, cesarean, and VBAC births—and I’ve personally walked through both natural and surgical deliveries. However you give birth, I’ll meet you with empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based support.
I’m honored to offer doula support and birth photography together—both as a standalone package and as part of The Milestone Collection. It’s the most meaningful work I do.
Why I became a doula
Your birth is a sacred, transformative experience. My role is to support you emotionally, physically, and visually—so you feel seen, safe, and empowered every step of the way.
Together, we’ll talk through your hopes for photography and make sure your experience is honored in the way you envision.

What's Included
- Payton m.
"Chelsea was everything I needed and more during my birth. Her support helped me achieve the natural birth I had hoped for—and I truly couldn’t have done it without her. The images she captured take me right back to those powerful, sacred moments. If you're looking for someone to support you and document your birth with tenderness and care, Chelsea is the one. She's truly a gift."

I will be on call in the weeks leading up to your due date so that I can be present during your labor + birth. When it's time, I can talk you through early labor + either meet you at your home or the hospital when you are ready. Together with your partner I will use hands on techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible, provide assistance with labor positions, and be there for emotional support in every moment. I'll continue this through all the things that happen after baby is born before I leave y'all to be alone as a family. And of course, through it all I will capture those sweet moments of meeting your baby for the first time!
