Hi! Hey, Hello! I’m Shelby.
I am a Birth Doula & Photographer - Documenting what you love, with whom you love, where you feel safe.
Mom of 3. Currently navigating Divorce. Wild I just said that here - but we keep it real. That’s something you’ll notice here - atleast I hope. Reality and authenticity. I started this “little” business in 2022 with no expectations, and God showed out. I have attended over 75 births, walking through the greatest moments and hardest moments with families. Self proclaimed Birth Nerd - I love it all. There really is nothing better than watching people become parents, watching families be created. While Birth is where my heart is - I love photographing families in general. Newborn. Family. Maternity - you name it - I’ll document it. Authentically while telling YOUR story. Some helpful things to know - I love Jesus. AND ALL PEOPLE. I’m always down for an iced coffee. I have a love hate relationship with the gym. Huge advocate for domestic violence awareness. Hiking, a good book & trying new food. I believe investing in your birth is more important than investing in your wedding.
Honestly I don’t get to decide what’s safe, but I hope you feel safe here.
Community over competition.
I am a huge believer in community over competition. I believe the table is big enough for everyone who wants one to have a seat. I host monthly Doula Meet Ups at our Local Birth Center on the 2nd Friday of every month. These meet ups are for new, aspiring and seasoned doulas to come together and learn with one another. Building a strong birth community will only benefit the families we directly serve. With that said, I may not be the doula for you, and that's OK! I willl help you find the one. <3
Testimonials
Taylor
“I am so grateful for Shelby being my doula! I had my first baby this past summer and Shelby helped me have my dream birth experience at The Birth Center. She was so warm and friendly and always made me feel at ease. Her patience and support throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery of my baby girl was everything I could want and more. She will advocate for you, motivate you through your birth experience and be by your side through it all. I am so thankful to have found her.”
