My littlest baby turned three yesterday.
And between that and the news lately, I keep thinking about how much we need each other.
I didn’t know nearly enough about the support that existed when I was pregnant and postpartum, so today I’m sharing five women I’ve been lucky enough to photograph, work with, and get to know since.
We were never meant to do all of this alone. 🤍
Massachusetts photographer serving families, women in business and rad early childhood programs
Megan Boston Childbirth Education & Doula
A doula and a birth photographer in one. Although my second baby came fast and furiously, I was so happy to have Megan there to capture her birth on camera. Grounded, talented, and always putting community first, Megan also hosts workshops, gatherings, and classes at her space in Acton, MA.
Amelia Amelia Damplo | MA Postpartum Doula
I’ve been able to witness Amelia in her element, caring for mothers during pregnancy and postpartum. She has a gentle, grounding energy that reminds me how soft postpartum care can be. If you haven’t explored Ayurvedic care yet, consider this your invitation.
Stephanie Stephanie Parsons
There’s something incredible about rolling from the massage table straight onto your own couch. Never mind the magic that is Stephanie herself. She specializes in postpartum massage therapy and has assembled an expert team that will come right to you.
Kara Kara | Certified Nurse Midwife
I knew the moment I met Kara that she’d be invaluable in a birth space. You’ll know what I mean. She’s a midwife I connected with recently and very quickly came to love. Her newest creation is a Birth Vision workshop designed to help women think beyond the checklist of a traditional birth plan and get clearer on how they want to feel, be supported, and move through birth. Go follow her for details.
Sam Sam Byington, CLC® & Postpartum Chef
I’ve had the honor of capturing Sam both in motherhood and at work in the kitchen. She is a lighthouse. Strong, steady, deeply caring, and also a classically trained chef. Sam offers holistic postpartum doula support, custom meal preparation and pantry stocking, and lactation support. She’s currently on maternity leave, but follow her for news on
