BIRTH Photos and films.
Many things are born on your child's birth day.
Not just any story, but your story, your child’s story.
I have been a doula and birth photographer for what seems like forever. However, many years before that, when I was pregnant with my second child, I had a deep sense that I was meant to raise men and work with women.
Now, years later, I have three boys and have witnessed over 200 families usher their children into this world.
Holding space for the laboring woman remains as much as an honor and privilege now as it was at my very first birth
BIRTH FILMS
a time capsule of the birth of your baby
CINEMATIC BIRTH FILMS
FILMS have become the cornerstone of my work as a documentarian. Even if they are only small snippets of your birth —there is a beauty in them that are inexplicable.
A BIRTH FILM is your own birth story time capsule. A small moment in time, where your world changed forever, cinematically documented to hold on for the ages.
Birth is BIRTH no matter how it unfolds,
no matter how your family comes into being.
Hey there! I’m Rebecca, a birth & documentary photographer/ filmmaker living in Los Angeles. I love fresh pressed coffee on foggy mornings (or after a long birth), believe that enchiladas are as close to food-heaven as I can get, and that everyone has a story to tell.
I’ve been documenting births since my own children were little and I have come to believe that when we embrace the messy, the day-to-day grit of living, we see how our love truly shines, even in the darkest of times.
I BELIEVE DEEPLY IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE NATURE OF BIRTH.
As a doula: I have come to revere the nature of birth beyond anything I thought possible. It is truly both an art and a science.
As an artist and photographer: It makes my heart sing when I am invited into your birth space, being asked to document these fleeting but powerful moments for you.
As a mother: I love affirming and celebrating the birth of your baby and your passage into motherhood.
I believe that families are born in a million different ways
Let’s begin a conversation.
TELL ME WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I SEE.
TO ME, THE HUMAN CONNECTION RESTS AT THE VERY CENTER OF MY WORK.
And getting to know YOU and your story is integral to my process. So come to me with your story.
There are a million birth photographers in Los Angeles (and around the world).
Take your time and find the one that appeals to you the most.
Let your heart and instinct guide you. Who speaks to you?
Can you feel the story of your baby's birth day being told by that photographer?
What does your heart tell you? What do you feel when you see their images?
Is it someone whom you could invite into your birth space?
If you think I am the one for you, let’s begin a conversation….
