Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

The birth of my five boys were the most empowering and transformative experiences of my life which led me down the path to becoming a birth-worker. I am a certified Doula and have training through Childbirth International, Dona, and I am a trained Hypnobabies Doula. I hold a BA in Child and Adolescent Development from San Jose State University and I was an elementary school teacher before becoming a mother. I have attended over 400 births, each one so beautifully unique. My full spectrum of personal birthing experiences ranges from hospital births to birthing at home and I am supportive of all birthing methods. My goal is to help birthing parents feel confident, safe, and supported during their pre-natal, birth, and post-partum journey all while documenting their story. With my passion for birth and my extensive experience and expertise as both a mother, photographer, and doula I am able to support women in labor and capture the true rawness and beauty of birth as it unfolds.

Fee Details

My Doula services include: A complimentary consultation to answer any questions you may have. Two prenatal visits where we will go over your birth plan, your expectations, tools and techniques for comfort measures, as well as your birth vision, postpartum tips, breastfeeding support, and any questions you may have. On-call 24/7 from 38-42 weeks. I am available for unlimited email, phone, and text support pre-natal and post-partum. I will provide both physical and emotional support during labor as well as breastfeeding and new baby support immediately after your delivery. All Doula Services include birth photography. I will photograph your labor, birth, and one hour after. My doula support is my number one priority and when you are fully supported, I take a step back and document those raw beautiful moments. Within one to two weeks, I will provide an optional virtual post-partum visit to lend any additional support and resources to help in your fourth trimester.

Paige is truly an incredible woman and artist. Through my pregnancy, birth and after she was there to not only answer all my questions but was there to support me.

Having pictures of my labor and moments when my sweet baby boy was born bring me indescribable joy and healing. My first birth did not go as planned and I didn’t have any pictures of my husband and I with our newborn baby. For this labor I knew that I wanted support of a doula. At first I didn’t think I wanted any photographs and she expressed to me how beautiful and healing it could be. It really was and I am so grateful to her. It gave me a peace about my first birth that I could have never had without my experience with her and my midwife.

I had my toddler and husband with me during labor. She captured precious moments of my toddler. Him holding my water bottle, giving me a kiss just to mention a couple. She took my toddler to fill up my water bottle a few times which he loved and gave my husband and I some moments together. Just so many little things that she did extra with so much compassion.

I felt safe and cared for. Both my toddler and newborn were cherished by her. She took care of me from the moment she arrived and stayed with me until baby and I were all settled.

Paige was supportive from the very first phone call. She is warm, caring, and thoughtful. It was a dream to find not only a doula but an amazing photographer as well. I only wish I had been able to add video to our package!

I loved having Paige as my doula! She was knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive all throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She made herself available for all questions I had throughout and was always quick to respond (especially appreciated with the time sensitive questions that came up in the early postpartum days). I felt well-supported having Paige by my side, and highly recommene her!

Paige is one of the most professional, yet caring people I have ever met. I have given birth 3 times and she has attended all of them as a photographer and one as my doula. As my doula she was so incredibly supportive. She was with me every step of the way, intuitively knowing what I needed. I was worried she wouldn't have gotten many photos or much video because of how present she was with me, but those photos are arguably my favorite. I don't know how she does it, but she has made amazing art every time. My birth photos and videos are my most prized possessions. For my third birth I chose to have my sister act as doula, however if she weren't able I would have absolutely used Paige again. I honestly can't convey the peace, love, and strength she provided to me during my births.

Paige was my doula and birth photographer for both of my children's births. She was amazing in so many ways and I would highly recommend you finding a way to budget her into your journey into motherhood. Not only is she able to capture moments you'll want to relive forever, she is calming and knowledgeable and a supportive part of your birth team. My husband and mom were both present and hands on during my labor/births and Paige was able to help guide me and them in how to feel more comfortable and keep progressing. From little things like offering sips of water between contractions to bigger things like suggesting different positions. Paige is an investment in your birth plan and well worth it!
