Los Angeles,

First 48 Birth Session

I believe the very first moments of meeting your new baby are a sacred time for bonding. We create a photo story to document within the first 48 hours of life, before leaving their place of birth. I encourage skin to skin, nursing, and the itty bitty snuggles Have older children? This is incredibly special when siblings meet baby for the first time!! 

For the planners - I arrive during daylight hours, typically between 10-11 AM.

I’m on call 7 Days/Week, 4 Weeks, bringing lots of warm energy and love! So get that pretty hospital robe ordered and let’s do this!
