Calgary Doula Support
+ Birth Photography: Price Guide
CONFIDENT. CONNECTED. STRONG.
#adoreyourbirth feeling prepared, secure, and excited when you have a birth doula and photographer by your side.
What if you had a “birth concierge”? A resource who knows everything there is to know about birth and babies, including knowledge to your specific care provider or local hospital. Someone who could answer all your texts that start with “Is it normal when…?” A voice to reassure you after a doctor’s appointment that told you news you didn’t want to hear. Someone who will drop everything to be by your side during labor, who will remind you how strong you are and how great you are doing. A person who is entirely too excited to take 827 pictures of you beaming at your brand new baby, and will be the first to like your instagram birth announcement because she’s been waiting for it almost as long as you have!
That level of support is what it means to #adoreyourbirth.
