- Vicki Rivard (Brave New Mama)
The birth of your child is arguably the most life-altering moment you'll ever experience. Nothing before or after could ever compare to the moment you bring life into the world. This is the beginning of your legacy, the beginning of your family.
The moment you meet your baby, your entire world will shift. This is an evolution of self; a transition into motherhood.
This is your new life.
I'm here to document it.
THE PROCESS & INVESTMENT
As a birth professional, it's so important you know just how this process works - by knowing my process, we establish trust and comfort: the two most important elements of our relationship.
The Process

Support & Education

I’d love to hold your hand or rub your back or speak encouraging words. I’d also love to create space for you, advocate for you, lift you up when you feel weak. I would love to be your doula.
VIEW DOULA SERVICES
I officially go on-call at 38 weeks, but if you were to go into labor before that, I will do everything I can to be there!
Absolutely not! These images are for you! They are memories of a moment in time when you welcomed your little one into this world.
I typically deliver 150-200 images, but that may vary depending on the length of your birth.
I typically arrive during active labor (5-6cm or whenever you can no longer walk/talk through your contractions) and stay 1-2 hours after baby has arrived!
I recommend booking me as early as you feel comfortable because I do tend to book up quickly.
Yes! I love being able to support families in this way! We will have a conversation about what is top priority and go from there.
"The pictures are amazing!! You are so talented and gifted. Thank you so much for capturing our special night. It meant so much to have your encouragement through the entire labor process."
"Lauren is directly responsible for documenting the most important moments in my family's life."
She has become one of our closest friends, and is SO knowledgeable about birth and parenting. She will be an advocate for you whether during pregnancy, in your birth room, or during all the small meltdowns that will inevitably come afterwards. Her work is art and WORTH the investment!
"Lauren has taken photographs for me throughout several seasons of our lives and I couldn't be more grateful for her."
She captures moments that are so sweet as a parent to have and to look back on in hard times. She's incredibly patient with me kids, positive and just generally one of the best humans around! I couldn't recommend her enough!
"Would a birth photographer be distracting? Would it be too many people in the room? Would I want it all on film? This was one of the best decisions I made for myself and my family so far!"
She captured the beautiful moments I want to hold on to forever, and now will be able to. She was SO WONDERFUL to have in the room. She knew helpful things to say without taking me out of my rhythm, was a wonderful support, and a great friend.
"My words could never encapsulate what a gift Lauren and her ability to capture such precious moments have been to my family. Her spirit in the delivery room was an added bonus to her talents."
The pictures and video from my birth are one of my most treasured belongings. Not only has God blessed Lauren with the ability to see His beauty in a fast moving world, He has also crafted her heart so meticulously.
"Lauren Jolly is simply the best! I've had the pleasure of working with her twice now, most recently for newborn photos of my daughter."
She's thorough before and during the shoot. My favorite thing about getting photos back from her is the variety of compositions. You'll get just about everything from landscape to portrait, detail to wide-view images, which means you'll be able to find a good photo to use on anything you plan to print. She even shot a few images with real film, which turned out lovely.
"We hired Lauren for our maternity, birth and newborn photography for our 3rd baby and it was one of the best decisions we made!"
Lauren is the sweetest soul and so easy to work with! Her work is absolutely stunning! We are planning to use her artistry for our family photography moving forward!
