A maternal centered c-section is a birth experience that honors your preferences, keeps you connected to your baby, and places you at the heart of the story. As a Gainesville and Ocala birth photographer and certified doula, I have supported families through these empowering births at UF Shands, HCA North Florida, and other local hospitals. From the moment your baby is lifted into the world to the first time they are placed skin-to-skin against your chest, every detail can be remembered. Combining doula care with professional photography allows me to advocate for your wishes while capturing the emotions, beauty, and strength of your c-section birth story. You deserve to feel supported, respected, and deeply connected to your baby in the operating room.
