Testimonial for Hayden Trace
Words cannot express how I feel about Hayden’s presence at my birth. I always believe things happen for a reason and man did the stars align for this experience. Now I know Hayden as a colleague, working alongside each other a births, and also just by simply gawking at her birth photography work, and in both roles she is incredible. I knew fairly early on that I wanted to document my birth. As a midwife myself, I have been witness to so many beautiful births and knew I wanted to “witness” mine as well...because if I was birthing the way I wanted then I would be present in that and likely miss the details I’ve loved from birth and labor. Well like so many others, my labor did not go as “planned” and when I invited Hayden in to start finally start documenting (essentially at hour 30ish?) she put on her doula hat instinctively knowing in that moment I needed that support as well. Somehow in both roles she exceeded my expectations. She not only supported me, but stepped in as comfort to my husband and family knowing just the things to say and do. Her presence helped me find my way towards a peace prior to my belly birth and then she went on to capture it perfectly. She quickly sent the most incredible sneak peeks and I believe knowing how much I needed them. I needed to see MY birth. So in not-so-short words, Hayden truly captures labor and birth the way it is meant to be captured all the while supporting the families while doing so- it actually kind of blows my mind how she does it all. And I can only say THANK YOU, thank you for sharing your gifts with me and my family. The images and that support were everything and more. Love ya.
