I often express to people that I am obsessed with all things birth. While those sentiments are true, I have found that what I'm truly in love with from the experience of birth are the stories that are unveiled.

As your doula I strive to provide care that meets your family’s unique and individualized needs. As no two people’s life story is the same, I believe that is the case for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journeys for each birthing family. I will use the individual connection I have developed with your family to help you create a story that facilitates growth and joy through this journey. Your birth. Your voice. Your vision

At this time I am only providing doula services that are embedded with my photography support. This offering is limited to 4 births a year.

Wow! Where does the time go? Laurel was an amazing support person for the birth of my son in August. She was always available for questions before hand and provided my husband and I with a lot of guidance and advice on how to be best prepared. During the birth, she was instrumental in keeping me focused and on task. She took pictures that I could never thank her enough for. So much is going on all at once that pictures are the last thing on your mind, but they are the most pure and beautiful moments of your life. I would choose her all day long and never regret my decision. Thank you so much for your support! — Brittany Papanek-Godwin
