Testimonial for Liz Walsh
We asked Liz to be our labor doula to try for a VBAC for the birth of our son. While I ended up having a planned c-section at 40 weeks, Liz still met us before surgery and was calming and knowledgeable and I was happy to have her with us. Before and after our son was born, she came for pre- and post-partum visits. I know I would have been grateful for her guidance and gentle presence had the VBAC worked out, offering whatever degree of involvement we would have liked in each moment. Throughout everything, she continually checked in with me and my husband to see how we were doing (both physically and mentally) and provide us with any information we needed at each stage.
We have also had three photo sessions with Liz: maternity, birth, and a newborn session, and were so happy with all three. We were not planning on the birth photos, but Liz was kind to offer to take them when the VBAC fell through (and the OR team at the time allowed her in). In retrospect, we are so happy to have those photos, too. She was very knowledgeable of lighting and recommended a beautiful location for our maternity shots. While she took plenty of posed, classic shots, she also captured plenty of spontaneity, our family dynamic, and the extremely special event that is childbirth. We have many special moments to look back on and we are grateful she gave us these!
We highly recommend Liz as both a birth doula and a photographer, and know she would be just as great in other capacities as a doula, too.
