Powerful Birth Stories Across Colorado

Having images from your birth allow you to not only reflect and remember the good moments (and there are SO many good moments), but they also help you process the hard ones. They can help move the icky feeling inside of you - and allow you to better understand WHY you might be feeling the way you do. Simply put: birth photography is a powerful postpartum processing tool. You can bring your images to your midwife or your therapist. You can look through them with a trusted friend. As often happens in birth, our minds forget some of the concrete moments of our experience. We can walk away feeling an overall sense of happiness or regret after our births are complete…never fully understanding WHY we’re feeling the way we do. Birth imagery allows us to find those missing links.

As a birth photographer and doula based in Denver, I’m honored to be invited into the birth space…including the operating room. Being able to document my clients’ birth stories…no matter where or how they happen is a gift. Many cesarean families report that birth images allow them to better process and integrate the birth experience, especially since they often aren’t able to see a majority of their birth. Over the years, I’ve watched more and more hospitals in Denver allow an additional support person in the OR as well as offer the option for a gentle cesarean birth.
