I knew when we found out that we were having twins that my ideal birth was going to be difficult to obtain.. Thankfully, I had seen Sam recommended on our local Facebook pages! There were a couple of other doulas mentioned, but she seemed to be highly recommended. I contacted her as soon as I had my first OB appointment, knowing I needed all the help I could get as a first time mother to get through labor and delivery without meds.. I also knew I wanted to have my whole experience documented, and she offered photography packages in addition to her doula services.
I knew from our first meeting at Starbucks that she was the person for us- there was no reason to even meet or consult with any other doulas! Meeting up with her after officially hiring her was something I always looked forward to. She’s such an easy going, well informed, positive person! I felt more and more with each meeting that I would be able to have a birth like I’d always hoped for.
Our maternity photos turned out incredible, and when the day of delivery came, Sam was by my side as quickly as possible. I had an insanely short labor and delivery, and they only allowed my husband to be with me during my pushing phase in the OR, but Sam entrusted her camera to him because she knew how important shots in the delivery room were to me. She stayed with us to make sure we got some great family shots in recovery. Because our L&D was so short, she even came to snag a few Fresh 48 shots for us! Our newborn photos were fantastic as well.
I couldn’t possibly say enough nice things about Sam & how supported I felt. I knew I could do it and get through labor because of how much confidence she helped to instill in me. Thank you so much, Sam! I may have been lost without you!
