About me

📸🌿 **Empowering Births, Capturing Moments** 🌿📸 Greetings! I'm Jennifer, a doula and birth photographer on a mission to empower families and preserve the beauty of life's most transformative moments. For the past six years, I've had the privilege of stepping into the sacred space of birth, both as a compassionate support system and as a silent observer behind the lens. As a doula, my role is to offer unwavering support, guidance, and advocacy to families as they navigate the profound journey of childbirth. With a heart full of empathy and a wealth of knowledge, I provide personalized care tailored to the unique needs and desires of each family I have the honor of serving. Whether it's offering a reassuring touch during labor, providing gentle encouragement during delivery, or advocating for your preferences in the birthing room, I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way. In tandem with my doula work, I have been capturing the beauty of births through my lens. There's something truly magical about preserving the raw emotion, the quiet strength, and the undeniable beauty of childbirth in timeless photographs. With each click of the shutter, I strive to create a visual narrative that honors the journey of bringing new life into the world—a story of love, courage, and the unbreakable bond between parent and child. Beyond the birthing room, I find joy and inspiration in capturing the beauty of maternity, newborns, and families as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood. From the tender moments of anticipation during maternity sessions to the cherished memories created during newborn and family shoots, each photograph serves as a precious memento of the extraordinary journey of parenthood. As a mother to my amazing 11-year-old son, I understand the profound significance of childbirth and the transformative power of having a supportive presence by your side. It is this understanding, coupled with my passion for photography and doula work, that drives me to provide compassionate care and create meaningful memories for the families I serve. I am honored to walk alongside you during this sacred journey, blending my expertise in birth support and photography to capture the magic of this transformative experience and empower you to embrace the journey with confidence, grace, and unwavering support. Warmest regards, Jennifer Daly

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer virtual doula services?

- Yes, I offer virtual doula services for clients who may not be able to have in-person support or prefer to have additional support remotely. Virtual doula services include prenatal consultations, labor support via video calls or phone, and postpartum guidance and support.

Are your services covered by insurance

- While doula services are not always covered by insurance, I am happy to provide you with a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Some insurance plans, particularly Medicaid, may offer coverage for doula services in certain states or under specific circumstances.

What is your availability for births?

- My availability for births varies, and I strive to accommodate the needs and preferences of each client to the best of my ability. I recommend contacting me as soon as possible to discuss your due date and availability, as well as to schedule a consultation to learn more about my services.

What is a doula and what do they do?

- A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to individuals and families before, during, and after childbirth. They offer continuous support, advocacy, and guidance to help clients navigate the birthing process with confidence and ease.

What type of support do doulas provide during labor and delivery?

- Doulas offer a wide range of support during labor and delivery, including comfort measures such as massage, positioning techniques, and breathing exercises. They provide emotional encouragement, help clients navigate medical procedures and interventions, and offer reassurance and guidance to both birthing individuals and their partners.

Do you attend all births, including homebirths and hospital births?

- Yes, I am available to attend births in a variety of settings, including home births, birth centers, and hospitals. Whether you choose to give birth at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital, I will be there to provide continuous support and advocacy throughout your birthing experience.

What happens during postpartum doula visits?

- Postpartum doula visits focus on providing practical support and guidance to families in the days and weeks following childbirth. This may include assistance with newborn care, breastfeeding support, light household chores, meal preparation, and emotional support for both parents as they adjust to life with a new baby.

How far in advance should I book your services?

- It is recommended to book doula services as early in your pregnancy as possible to ensure availability. However, I understand that every situation is unique, and I will do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.

What is your philosophy or approach to doula support?

- My philosophy is rooted in providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support that honors the individual preferences and choices of each client. I believe in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their birthing experience and strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all families.

What are the benefits of hiring a doula?

- Hiring a doula has been shown to reduce the likelihood of interventions during childbirth, decrease the risk of cesarean birth, and improve overall birth satisfaction. Doulas provide personalized support, enhance communication between clients and healthcare providers, and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their birthing experience.

What is the difference between a birth doula and a postpartum doula?

- A birth doula provides support during labor and delivery, whereas a postpartum doula offers support in the weeks following childbirth. While a birth doula focuses on the birthing experience, a postpartum doula assists with newborn care, breastfeeding support, and adjustment to parenthood during the postpartum period.

Can I still hire you as my doula if I plan to have a medicated or cesarean birth?

- Absolutely! I support clients regardless of their birth preferences, including medicated births, cesarean births, and planned interventions. My goal is to provide compassionate and personalized support to help you have the birth experience that feels right for you.

Do you provide support for partners and other family members during childbirth?

- Yes, I offer support not only to the birthing individual but also to their partners and other family members who may be present during childbirth. I can provide guidance on how partners can best support the birthing person and offer reassurance and encouragement to everyone involved.

What if my labor is long or difficult?

- Long or difficult labors are common, and I am trained to provide continuous support and assistance throughout the entire birthing process. I will be by your side to offer encouragement, comfort measures, and advocacy to help you navigate any challenges that may arise during labor and delivery.
