Mother and Father with Newborn in Minneapolis Hospital After Natural Birth

Sometimes a birth story unfolds so magically, we don't have any other choice but to share the entire gallery. This peaceful, unmedicated hospital birth is an example of just that.

We provide doula support and birth photography all over the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and greater Twin Cities area. We especially love working with the midwife, OB, and nursing staff at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital.

This birth really highlighted the work it takes to craft inner wisdom of your body and breathing tools to support an unmedicated birth. This parent did an amazing job reminding herself of all the work she’d done leading up to labor, and the confidence she had in herself to choose an unmedicated birth. Long story short: the vibes were immaculate.
