About me

Hi there-my name is Leona and I am a labor doula and a seasoned birth photographer and videographer. My own traumatic birth experience turned my world 180 degrees and I became consumed with all things birth and telling many family stories through art. I became a birth doula early in 2021 and find the two disciplines to be magic. I am committed to providing unconditional support to every parent type and advocacy throughout this journey with you.

We couldn't be happier with Leona! She made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the process, providing invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her calming presence during labor was exactly what we needed. As a photographer, she captured stunning, heartfelt images that we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend Leona to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled doula and exceptional photographer. Her dedication to her craft and clients is unmatched. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey and providing us with beautiful memories.
