“I can't imagine what giving birth would've been like without Claire! Even with everything possible going for me - good health,  one of the best hospitals in the country to deliver at, lots of reading and classes about birth, and my husband by my side every step of the way - labor was incredibly challenging, unknown, and sometimes scary. But thankfully I had Claire! 

Claire always had a plan, a next step, a distraction, a person to call, a source of comfort, something to make me hopeful, and when the action really started, she had strategies to help advance and navigate labor. So much of picking the right doula is just who you connect with - who's going to set the right tone and strike the right balance of being your advocate, advisor, and comforter. For me, Claire was that person. She sat with me and my husband while I was pregnant to hear out our questions and concerns, brought so much knowledge and compassion to every conversation, and never took a one-size-fits-all approach. And I didn't realize how much I would appreciate her postpartum visits, and how much they would help my healing.

The simplest way to say all of this is that Claire made my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and recovery the experience my new baby and I needed.”

"Claire was everything I needed to help me harness my own strength and power in the birthing experience. Our prenatal sessions helped me prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally, and when the big day came, I felt ready to handle the challenge with Claire by my side. She was in tune with me and my needs, and every support she offered felt exactly right in those moments. She helped me believe in myself, especially in the hardest moments, and for that I will always be grateful."

“Working with Claire was an absolute dream. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calming, warm, and reassuring presence to our birth space - it felt like having a close friend there who just happened to be incredibly talented with a camera. The photos she captured are nothing short of magical. We are completely in awe of how beautifully she documented the most important day of our lives, especially considering how quickly everything went toward the end! Claire somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing the big moments and all the little ones in between, without ever feeling intrusive. Our family will cherish these photographs forever. They bring us right back to those first precious moments with our baby, and we truly can’t thank Claire enough for giving us this gift. If you’re considering hiring a birth photographer, do not hesitate - Claire is the one you want by your side!”
