Meet Meredith Westin

she/her

photographer, filmmaker, birth support professional (doula)

I’m a stargazer and a cloudgazer, a wanderer and a traveler. I’m always looking for the light. When I’m not walking in the woods with my dog or riding my bike around town, I’m browsing design blogs, fantasizing about my next trip, or curled up with a good book.

I am DONA and CAPPA trained, and, in addition to my years of experience as a birth photographer, I enjoy working both as a birth doula and a postpartum doula. I am a member of the Birth Becomes Her team, an award-winning birth photographer, and I have Spinning Babies and HypnoBirthing training which I bring with me to each birth I attend. Locally, I’m on the board of the MN Birth Photographers group.

Along with capturing birth stories, I am also honored to work as an adoption photographer in Minneapolis and St. Paul, preserve beautiful postpartum moments throughout the metro area, and photograph folks as they go through cancer treatment (radiation, chemotherapy, mastectomy, and reconstruction photography). When I’m not focused on birth and photography, I’m living with a disability, trying new recipes, and daydreaming about hosting dinner parties.

I live in Minneapolis with my partner, our dog, and way too many plants.

I would love to talk to you about the possibility of being part of your birth story. If you’d like that too, get in touch.
