Service introduction

Imagine yourself in labor. You surrender yourself to the birthing process, every single moment is connecting you to your baby. Your partner is right by your side, encouraging every moment. When you are discouraged, your partner is right there. They know you best and know exactly the best way to encourage and support you on an intimate level. Where will I be? I will be making sure your all of your other needs are met so your partner can stay right by your side. I will be the one grabbing water, cool rags. Your lower back pain will be eased as I apply comfort measures, You can focus internally while I offer new birthing positions for you. You may not have noticed it, but I was there to remind your partner to go rest, and I stepped in the meantime. I repeat the affirmations you need to hear, and go through breathing exercises for you and your partner. I am quietly in the corner, taking pictures that will take you back to the circle of love you created around you. Everything about your beautiful birthing experience is because of the strength and the divine within you.

Amazing massage! One of the best I've ever had. Eva has the best energy, and is so calming. She is very good at reading your body, and knowing just what you need. Highly recommend!

Eva is simply amazing! She came and photographed my home birth and was very flexible for me to work with. She took the time to understand what I was wanting out of the experience and she was very respectful through it all. Having a stranger in your birth space can be so tricky but she was such a calm and quiet presence. She never made me feel uncomfortable or annoyed. The photos I then got back from her were stunning. She captured the feeling of the entire event beautifully and I am so so grateful that we hired her!

Eva was an integral part of bringing my son earth side. She knew when to step in and offer help vs step back and let my husband take over. My labor was 30 hours and I never once wanted her to leave. I not only brought my son safely into this world but I also have the most stunning photos to remember it by 馃

Eva is absolutely incredible! I鈥檝e received many prenatal massages at this point and she is in my top 2 of the 7 different people I鈥檝e been to! I plan to go again, haha. She is gifted, knowledgeable, and adjusts to your exact needs well. Want just a pampering massage? She鈥檚 got you. Have trouble areas that you NEED better? She鈥檚 got you. Want a fun conversation? I definitely enjoyed my conversations with her! Just want to quietly enjoy the massage? She鈥檚 more than accommodating. I get tension migraines that start in my neck and are 100x worse and more common when I鈥檓 pregnant. However, not only did Eva melt away that tension with Massage, she even had an oil to recommend that worked better than any other oils or muscle rubs I鈥檝e tried. She used it on me with my permission towards the end of the massage then told me of the local business I could but it from. Eva is definitely beyond your topical massage therapist and I very much appreciate not only the massage, but her knowledge and help. 10/10!!

I have had such an amazing experience having Eva as my Doula, she help educate me on my options and was amazing in the labor and delivery room. I was able to be in tune with my body and have a wonderful birthing experience. I imagine it would have went quite a bit differently without her there to help talk me through it. The photos I have received have been absolutely phenomenal as well!

Eva was an integral and powerful part of my pregnancy. I had many fears going into this as it was my first, I was terrified. Eva is such an understanding doula, I felt comfortable with her from the beginning. The prenatal care was wonderful, she provided some amazing reads for my husband and I to understand labor, and prepare for our lives to change. She was comforting as she listened to my fears. I felt listened to the entire time and she was so understanding. I鈥檝e always been terrified of hospitals so my birth was planned to be at home. Life didn鈥檛 work out that way and my baby needed to come into this world via c section. Eva made my hospital stay comfortable, keeping me hydrated and with snacks, which was SO needed with my husband being busy tending to the baby and catching up on rest. She took beautiful photos that I will treasure forever and was never in the way whatsoever. Her postnatal care was so sweet and understanding as well, and she gave an AMAZING foot rub. Eva was an amazing part of my birth team and I recommend her one hundred percent!

My partner and I were on the fence about hiring a doula. We were pregnant with our first but we had both done a ton of research so we were prepared and didn鈥檛 need one, right? Wrong! I am so so glad that we decided to hire a doula and Eva specifically. She was such a source of comfort and strength. We planned a home birth but the universe and my beautiful baby boy had other plans. We ended up needing a c-section after a grueling 3 days in labor. Eva helped me refocus on the importance of self love in moments of utter defeat and disappointment in my perfectly laid plans and I am eternally grateful. When I look back at my birth story through her beautiful photography, I am awestruck at the love and strength and support.

Eva was my Doula and Maternity / Birth Photographer for my first pregnancy and delivery and she was incredible!! During my pregnancy she answered many of my questions that I had and helped me mentally prepare for labor. After I went into labor, she stayed in touch to know when she should arrive. Once she was here she began comfort measures, helped me relax, and other support leading up to us checking into the hospital. When we were there she continued to help a lot with laboring positions, pain management by applying counter pressure, etc., and did a phenomenal job on recording my experience with gorgeous photography - I LOVE both the maternity and birth photos she took!

Eva is so amazing to work with! Her compassion and care before during and after your birth is so beautiful not to mention how perfect the photos turned out. She had the perfect balance of being there when you need her to be and still getting the best photos. She was an amazing doula and knew so much about the natural birth process. My husband and I were so thankful to have her there during such an important event.

I had Eva come to do her documentary style photos of our post partim life. She was very respectful and non-intrusive. The photos she captured are beautiful. I'm so happy I will forever have those raw real life moments to reminisce on with her amazing photos.

Eva was incredible. She came into our home and quietly and beautifully captures the little postpartum moments we shared as a family. I couldn鈥檛 be more grateful for the images of those raw first weeks. Her eye for beautiful images is uncanny and it shows.

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鈥檛 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. Eva also did a maternity photo session for us, it was very cold and windy on the day we did our photos. Our 8 year old was struggling with the weather, as were mom and dad. Eva managed to capture us looking like we were having a great time in the snow, even though it was pretty miserable weather. I would highly recommend her services as a photographer and a Doula.

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. I ended up needing a c section so Eva was not able to attend the birth, but was there immediately postpartum providing water, snacks, taking photos, validating the decision to have a necessary c section even though it was not planned, and helping any way she could. Eva is wonderful and we loved working with her!

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!

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!
