Testimonial for Austin Huston
When we found out we were expecting baby #3 (and potentially our last baby) I knew I wanted to document this birth with professional photography/videography. I went on a search and found a collective of local birth doulas. My family and I connected with them right away and knew they were meant to be a part of this journey. They were there for us throughout our entire pregnancy, there to answer any questions we had or to just check in and see how our family and pregnancy was going. Once labor began I quickly found out that Doula Austin would be the one on call for our birth (as I had seen her in my dreams many times). I was so unsure of where my labor was going so I reached out with hesitation but we all ultimately decided to head towards labor and delivery, and thankfully we did. Upon arriving at the hospital I quickly discovered that I was in transition, my waters had released and I was complete. This was all under 1 hour from the letting Doula Austin know and heading out to the hospital. She came flying through the door of our birth room just as I was getting ready to bring our first baby girl earthside. Austin was exactly who we needed, she came in with a calming presence and organically captured our birth in the most beautiful and timeless way. After she spent the full 2 hours after birth with us she offered to drop my placenta off at my home after 3:00am. This goes to show the love and dedication she has for her birth clients and the families she serves. She stayed in contact with us while editing our photos and video and sent a few sneak peak pictures in the meantime. When we received our final images and video we were blow away! I was in tears for days as I was able to see the full progression from the time she arrived. She heard all of our desires and made sure to incorporate them in her work. We are FOREVER grateful for this gift and can only dream of a day where we may work with her and The Birth Collective again.
