Elizabeth was so sweet and caring to us. She brought us all kinds of supplies and made our labor room so cozy and relaxing. She also took amazing photos of the whole labor process (at our request) that we will cherish forever. I also appreciated the check-ins that she sent starting days before entering labor and after. 10/10 would recommend!

Elizabeth was our doula in the birth of our second child. Her support and knowledge were invaluable and I was so thankful to have her as a part of my home birth team. We ended up transferring to the hospital, and she stood right along beside my husband and I every step of the way. Elizabeth is spectacular in her work as a doula and I cannot recommend her more highly! ☺️

Elizabeth was exactly what I needed as a first time surrogate. She was a wonderful source of support throughout my journey, and her extra support and kindness made a real difference. She has the tools and knowledge to help out in the labor and I am most happy to recommend her to anyone.

Frequently asked questions

Wait, you can photograph AND offer doula support?

Yes! As an experienced birth photographer and doula, I’m very comfortable moving between roles. I shoot purposefully, which means I have ample time to give my clients physical and emotional support in between taking images. During the moment of birth, your care provider will step in to help you deliver your baby, which gives me the opportunity to photograph the moment you and your partner meet your baby. Many of my clients prefer to keep their birth team as small and intimate as possible, which is why more and more families are choosing to hire a birth worker who can offer both doula support and birth photography. All of my doula clients receive a birth gallery of at least 50 professional edited images.

Where do you work?

I’ve supported doula clients at nearly every hospital and birth center in Knoxville, TN. I also have attended homebirths, and I love supporting families who desire to give birth at home. I support: VBACs, unmedicated births, inductions, medically complex births, twin births, homebirths, hypnobirths, cesarean births, freebirths, and more.
