Birth Photography by Doulas Who Know and Trust the Process

At St. Louis Birth and Baby, we believe birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. As doulas and photographers, we’re there to support and document your journey — not just the moment your baby arrives, but the quiet strength, the raw emotion, and the connections that define it.

A woman in labor leans over the edge of a birth tub, resting her arms and head on the side with her partner offering supportive touch with his hand on her arm. A saline lock is visible on one wrist and a hospital bracelet is visible on the other hand

Your Birth Story. Beautifully Documented. Each authentic moment of connection, joy, strength, and love, preserved with artful intention.

  • A woman in labor sits on the toilet and leans on her husband as he kneels in front of her, supporting her body and leaning into her with his hand on her shoulder. Light from outside streams in and creates dramatic lighting and shadows.

    Why Choose Birth Photography?

    Because these moments change everything.

    We document birth with reverence and intention — the hand you squeeze, the tears you didn’t know would come, the love your partner shows as they hold you, and then, as they hold your new baby. And because we’re doulas, we understand when to step in and when to quietly observe.

    —Deep respect for your birth plan and preferences

    —Discreet, documentary-style photography

    —Trauma-informed, inclusive support

    —Continuous on-call availability around your due date

    —Serving St. Louis families at home, in hospitals, and in birth centers

  • A joyful woman holds her brand new baby to her chest, moments after he was born, with a smile on her face. Her partner's hand is on her shoulder, a nurse in the foreground stimulates the crying baby as the midwife leans over to wipe up blood.
