Holding Space for Your profound Stories

I’m here for you...
Your birth journey will change you, rock you, and change you at your core. 

Imagine every part of it documented and feeling supported through every wave or change of plans. Having someone there holding space for your feelings and for your fleeting memories. A doula there to support you emotionally and physically. A photographer moving through the space with gentleness and artistry capturing the details of your story.

What if I told you that you could have both in me...

What Doulatog Means to me?

As both a doula and an experienced birth photographer, I photograph with intention, creating space to offer hands-on comfort, emotional reassurance, and steady presence in between images. When the moment of birth arrives, your medical team will step in to guide your baby earthside—freeing me to document the first, unforgettable moments you and your partner meet your child.

Many families choose to keep their birth team small and intimate, which is why more and more parents are drawn to the combination of doula support and photography in one. You’ll have continuous support and a beautiful, professional birth gallery of images to revisit for years to come.

Birth is not only the day your baby enters the world—it is the moment you step into a new version of yourself. When you invite me into your birth space, I promise to hold it with reverence and care, so you can look back and remember not just how your baby was born, but how powerful you were in becoming.

Meet diana

I come to this work not just as a professional, but as a mother who has walked many different birth paths myself. I’ve experienced cesarean birth, VBAC, home birth, and loss. I know the power of these moments because I have lived them. And what keeps me showing up, birth after birth, is witnessing the instant a mother falls in love with her baby. That moment—when time seems to pause and love fills the room—is what I am obsessed with capturing and honoring. It is the purest love there is, the kind people spend their whole lives searching for.
