We are Anna (she/her) and Dana (she/her), doulas and birth photographers in the St. Louis area. After several successful years building our own businesses, we decided to team up to offer expecting families both doula support and birth photography in a collaborative and community-centered environment. We believe how you’re treated matters. We know having a baby transforms you. This is your story, and it should be held gently and told thoughtfully. We’d love to meet you.

5 facts about St. Louis Birth and Baby

• ONE. We believe in inclusivity: All people deserve to be treated with respect and seen as their whole, authentic selves. We are LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly. We aim to always strive to learn, grow, and bring more love into the world.

• TWO. We believe in honoring the sacred journey of birth. The team of individuals walking alongside you while you journey this rite of passage impacts your experience in big and small ways that ripple into your parenthood and beyond.  

• THREE. We believe community matters. Community is important for birth workers and pregnant people alike. None of us can do life alone. We strive to build community amongst birth workers. We aim to help and encourage new parents in finding community for their journey, too.

• FOUR. We believe in bodily autonomy without judgment. You get to decide what to do with your body, how to do it, and when. Respect for a person’s autonomy and privacy will always take precedence for us. Enthusiastic consent is non-negotiable. 

• FIVE. We believe that artistic documentation is beautiful and important. An artful record of the journey to parenthood can greatly impact the processing and/or healing around a person’s birth story and should be treated with care (as it is an outside perspective that may feel different from the person’s own experience of their birth) — our goal is to honor and validate your version while sharing our perspective with generosity and thoughtful honesty.
