  • Cherish The Miracle of Your Baby’s Birth Day

    The experience of riding the waves of labor. Your strength, your determination. Your partner's excitement, concern, joy. The moment of birth arrives! First look. First breathe. Baby's head settling on your chest for the first time. First little squeaky cries. Her little eyes looking into yours. His tiny mouth rooting for nourishment, for comfort. This moment will never happen again. No matter how many babies have been welcomed into the world, your baby, THIS baby, has his own special day. A miraculous day. A day that can be preserved for you, your family, and your sweet baby for her lifetime.

    I'd love to be a part of your special day, to document this miraculous journey as it unfolds. Mama Matters offers birth photography to the East Texas and DFW areas and doula services to the Greater Tyler area.

I had the privilege of taking maternity/family pictures of my friend and doula client, Krista, and her sweet family this past weekend. They are great friends of ours who are traveling evangelists. I attended the birth of their daughter, Elizabeth, and will attend the birth of the son, due in March.Lizzy did really well for a toddler. She was bribed with Mum-Mums and gummy bears. đŸ˜‰

The Doula: A Dad’s Perspective Part 1

Many expecting mothers who consider having a doula wonder if her partner will be supportive of the idea. Some dads-to-be are afraid that their role might be replaced in the birth process. Other fathers wonder if having a doula is really a benefit to the mom if they as a partner are supportive or if a good OB, nurse, or midwife is present. I address more of the benefits to having both a doula and loving partner present at the birth on my FAQ page, but I thought I’d share with you what a couple of the fathers of my clients had to say about their perspectives on having a doula. This will be the first in my series called The Doula, A Dad’s Perspective. Enjoy, and share it with your friends!
