Why First Cry?

Why hire a birth photographer?
You don’t hesitate to hire a photographer for the biggest day of your life, your wedding, so why is it not common to hire a photographer for the second biggest day, welcoming a new life into your family? When you allow me to be there when you give birth, my goal will be to capture all of those precious little moments you may otherwise miss in the overwhelming moments of birth. With me there, you can focus your heart and energy into that sweet new babe and I’ll take care of the rest.
Why hire a doula?
A doula is a support person before, during and after your birth. My role as a doula is to advocate for you and your birth experience. I also aim to provide a safe space during your pregnancy and delivery, be a knowledgeable voice and a gentle guide. My role is not to replace your birth partner but to assist him or her with complete support of you. My goal is for your partner and I to seamlessly work together to provide you a calm and peaceful birth space, while ensuring emotional support so you feel safe and are truly able to surrender and OWN your birth story. 
There are many proven benefits to having continuous labor support from a doula during your birth journey, some of which being:
● shorter labor times
● 60% decrease in requests for pain management in the form of narcotics
● 30% decrease in anesthesia use 
● 31% decrease in inductions and use of Pitocin
● 28% decrease in cesarean risk
● 34% decrease in being dissatisfied with your birth experience

What Our Clients Are Saying

Kendra is AMAZING. When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I was terrified. I had a very scary experience with my daughter and had an emergency csection at 29 weeks, so I was very worried about being pregnant again. I was able to successfully VBAC at 37 weeks at deliver a beautiful baby boy. Kendra was able to capture all of the little moments of my labor and birth that bring tears to my eyes. she was also there by my side and helped me through the intense pushing process. I am forever grateful!! ​
