Welcome!

The seed in your womb is planted. Your family now grows to 2 or 3 or 4, maybe 5. In this sacred moment, you deserve to have a relaxed and competent advocate that’s there for you every step of the way.

Your birth is something that you and your partner should EXPERIENCE, in the moment, not something to be worried about making the right decisions or taking the right pictures. That’s my job as your doula and birth photographer. 

Adding me to your team allows you and your partner to feel relaxed and open during your birth experience. From your cute, cozy bump to motherhood and beyond, I will provide support and heirloom images, help you with a birth plan and more in the months that follow. I’m here to cheer you on the whole way, be real when times are tough, and capture it all in a beautiful and artful way that honors your journey. 

Let's connect!

Kind words from our happy clients

  • “We were delighted to have Shante coaching us through the the laboring process.She’s very knowledgeable with many years of experience. I felt very comfortable with her being present and when I needed to step out she was there for emotional and physical support. She’s also a great photographer! I would highly recommend her.”

    – PIPER MORTIMER

  • “We were lucky enough to have met Shante when we did. I was getting ready for my third trimester, this was our first child and thankfully because @breastfriendsoakland we were able to do our prenatal shoot with @motherhood_by_nature. She was very flexible, understanding and we even hired her for our birth. Shes always provided us with best photos, been very helpful when we didn’t have any ideas, prepared for every shoot, respectful when posting and willing to make the experience less stressful. If we were asked if we would did again the answer would be Yes!”
