Let me start by saying that this was my second birth experience and I could not have asked for a better team to help me feel confident and capable throughout the whole process. Liz was such an essential part of that team. She spent our initial days getting to know us as a couple, learning about our previous birth experience and what we wanted this experience to be. Our greatest wish was to labor together, as husband and wife, with as little interference and intervention from others as possible. For this reason, we had chosen to give birth at a birth center rather than a hospital. Our purpose in hiring Liz was for her to support that desire and to support us when we asked for it as well as document this breathtaking time for our family and she did just that. She never once overstepped or inserted an opinion when it wasn’t asked for. She answered questions, supported me through pregnancy, and was a quiet advocate and calming support in our birthing room. The photos that she was able to capture were made possible by her helping to ensure that we had the birth experience that we desired and I could not be more content with how everything went. We will forever cherish the photos and the experience of giving birth to our sweet little girl and are so grateful to Liz for everything she did through this process.
