Moving Birth stories

Hello,
Welcome to our virtual home! We are Anna (she/her) and Dana (she/her), doulas and birth photographers in the St. Louis area. After several successful years building our own businesses, we decided to team up to offer expecting families both doula support and birth photography in a collaborative and community-centered environment. We believe how you’re treated matters. We know having a baby transforms you. This is your story, and it should be held gently and told thoughtfully. We’d love to meet you.
“Dana was AMAZING! she delivered more than just stunning pictures. She provided a sweet voice of encouragement during the peaks of labor, knowledgeable suggestions about different positions we could try and she knew exactly when to let my partner and I have our own space.”
“Anna is an incredible doula! She is amazingly gifted at what she does, balancing evidence-based information with supportive encouragement of following your body's instincts. The perfect blend of the art and the science of childbirth.”
“I truly cannot recommend St. Louis Birth and Baby enough!! If you are looking for a positive experience, a team who will support and advocate for you, and photographers who can capture your birth into the most beautiful and captivating story, Anna and Dana are who you want. I am so grateful for the beautiful birth experience I had and the photos they took to capture it.”
