Nicole J., owner & photographer at DouTographer. (doula and photographer)
This is where I offer my professional birth photography and combine it with my doula services. My years of expertise photographing labor and delivery have helped me weave both services seamlessly.
You get the best of both services in one amazing package.
No other genre of photography combines all of my creative outlets as an artist nor feels as powerful and life-changing as boudoir & maternity. I love capturing artistic beauty and producing images that transform the way women and moms feel about themselves. I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
I am often told that I must have the best job in the world and I couldn't agree more.
THANK YOU!
