I got my breastfeeding photoshoot done by Ollie and she was amazing! I feel awkward in front of a camera but she made it feel so natural and brought me out of my shell! She was amazing with my daughter and got her to smile for a lot of the photos! She was funny and very laid back and easy to talk to. She was creative and made sure to get all the best angles. She cared about my opinion and made sure I was happy before we finished the session. I appreciate everything she did for us! I highly recommend Ollie.

I booked a breastfeeding mini session with Strong As A Mother Birthwork and it was such a beautiful experience. Ollie created a calm and supportive space where I felt comfortable and confident nursing my baby. The photos captured the sweetness, connection, and strength of this moment in such an authentic way. These images are something I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to have this special bond documented.

I cannot recommend Strong As A Mother Birthwork enough. From the very first conversation, Ollie made me feel seen, supported, and cared for. Their doula services went above and beyond whether it was guiding me through birth decisions, offering calm reassurance during labor, or being that steady presence during those overwhelming newborn nights. The photography they provided captured such raw, beautiful moments I’ll treasure forever. The attention to detail, genuine compassion, and unwavering support truly made all the difference in my postpartum journey. Every mama deserves this kind of care. 💚

I highly recommend Ollie! She’s a very down to earth kind person that makes you instantly feel comfortable. More than anything I would love to have her around for my next pregnancy and birth. She’s an incredible person and on top of that so talented. She got along so well with not only me but my mom as well. Her photography work is so natural and captured my special bond between my daughter and I. Looking forward to working with her for much more!!

I cannot recommend Ollie Strong enough. She’s one of those rare people who just gets it, the kind of presence you want in your corner during one of the most vulnerable and life changing times of your life. As a doula, Ollie is not only incredibly knowledgeable about birth, postpartum recovery, and newborn care, but she has this calm, grounding energy that makes you feel safe and supported no matter what’s happening. She knows when to offer guidance, when to step in and advocate, and when to just quietly be there so you feel held. Beyond her professional skills, Ollie is one of the most genuine, dependable, and compassionate people I know. She’s the kind of person who will show up for you 110% and make you feel like you’re her only client even when you know she’s supporting others too. Her mix of empathy, intuition, and professionalism is unmatched. Any family, team, or client would be lucky to have her. I say this both as someone who knows her work and as someone who knows her heart they’re equally impressive.
