It’s me…. HI!

Hey! I am Kara, a Doula and birth photographer based in San Tan Valley. I have birthed two babies and been blessed to be pregnant with four.

I am a lover of maternal autonomy and the pure beauty and strength in birth. It took having my own kiddos to know the true beauty within myself. Now… I am passionate about showing every woman their unfiltered strength and beauty through birth.

FAQs

  • I recommend you have your birth team booked by your econd trimester. This includes midwife, OB, doula, photographer, videographer, etc. If there is someone from you are dying to have on your team, I strongly suggest reaching out to them as soon as possible as we typically take only a few births a month. This allows us to be as present and available for you and others as much as we hope to be.

  • As your doula I come when you feel you need the support, this is typically when you transition to active labor, and stay until shortly after baby has arrived.

    I have yet to miss a birth, communication is key! However if baby arrive before me, I will still document golden hour and you (and partner) bonding with baby. These moments are absolutely precious. We will also schedule a session in the future family or newborn to make up for the lost time.

  • I am located in San Tan Valley and service all the East Valley. Hospitals, birthing centers and home births!

  • I am here to support you as you see fit. You do not need to use my doula services, see other packages for pricing. However, I find that most families benefit from the additional support in the birthing scene. Those who don’t find a need for my services whether they have a separate doula, or are experienced birthers still highly value the documentation of their birth
