"Chelsea’s devotion to caring for new mothers is apparent in her work!"

I can’t imagine my son’s birth without Chelsea’s support. I knew Chelsea prior to my pregnancy and asked her to be my doula literally the day I found out I was pregnant. She is super knowledgeable and so I trusted her to answer all of my questions and concerns. She was kind enough to indulge them even outside of my prenatal appointments. 

Chelsea checked in with me frequently while on call and was consistent in her care, even when I went 2.5 weeks past my “due” date. Her presence during our birth was calm, confident, and empowering. She offered helpful advice and gentle, comforting physical support to keep my body and mind relaxed for birth. She was patient and so hardworking through a very long labor and when things took a turn away from my birth plan due to medical necessity, she was supportive and reassuring. 

In addition to amazing support during labor, the care she provided postpartum made our experience as new parents so much easier and more enjoyable. She offered ongoing lactation support, helped me process emotions from our birth, and connected us to much needed resources. Chelsea’s devotion to caring for new mothers is apparent in her work! 

"Chelsea was there to make sure we followed our birth plan while ensuring baby's quick and safe delivery"

I had met Chelsea through a breastfeeding group for mom's while I was pregnant. I had reached out to her and after chatting a bit, she offered her doula services which we were immediately on board for. Chelsea came over to our house to meet my husband and get to know us. She wanted to make sure we were comfortable with the people we had in our birthing space and, while Chelsea let us know there was no pressure to book her, we knew right away we wanted her there during our baby's birth.

I was already at the end of my pregnancy so Chelsea was on-call right away. She often checked in, not only about the baby and early labor signs, but to see how I was feeling emotionally. I felt very comfortable asking Chelsea questions and she was very knowledgeable and comforting with her responses.

On my birthing day, my husband called Chelsea to let her know I was in active labor and when we got to the hospital she showed up shortly after. I had a quick natural labor, however, it was intense. Right away Chelsea had helped me change my breathing which made contractions a million times easier as well as she had done some other coping measures to make me more comfortable.

My husband wanted to be involved as much as possible so Chelsea taught him some techniques to use on me while I was in the tub and in the bed. She instilled confidence in my husband which made it a very special and intimate time for us during our son's birth!

We wanted to have as little interventions as possible but while pushing, had to make some quick medical decisions. We were grateful Chelsea was there to make sure we followed our birth plan while ensuring baby's quick and safe delivery.

A few days after we got home from the hospital Chelsea made a house visit to check on our baby and us as a new family. 

We became quick friends and she is still so helpful with any new mom questions I have to this day!

We are so grateful to Chelsea during our baby boy's birth. I truly feel labor and our entire birthing experience was easier and therefore more memorable because of Chelsea's helpful presence!

"Such a Kind and Calm Presence in the Room"

The photos Chelsea took of our daughter’s birth are priceless! During the birth you are so caught up in the moment that being able to look back and relive those memories is invaluable. We have loved being able to show the photos to friends and family and we look forward to showing them to our little girl one day! Chelsea is such a kind and calm presence in the room. We felt so comfortable having her there as part of our special day. We have no doubt that we will have Chelsea as our birth photographer for all future births!

"She was so quiet and discreet during intense moments"

I have two children now. One is almost 3 years old, and the other is 2 months old. Chelsea was
my photographer for both births. She truly enjoys what she does, and I believe it shows through
her work. She was almost as eager as I was and very accomodating to my requests. I wanted
her to be with me during labor as well as the deliveries. She came as soon as I notified her and
stayed with me all hours of the night. She is incredibly intuitive, and knew exactly how to act in
each moment. She was so quiet and discreet during intense moments with my husband that I
didn’t even hear the camera clicking, but she was quick to speak up when she knew I needed a
word of encouragement, prayer, or even someone to change the music for me. I could not be
happier with each experience, and the pictures she captured for me are absolutely priceless.
Thanks to Chelsea, I will never forget the most beautiful moments of my life. I will be using her
for every birth I have in the future.
