Hi Rebecca - No, we haven't featured any birth photographers, but that's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion! If you are looking for one, let me know and I can get you some names of local photographers that you could check into...

Lisa Stephens is not a certified doula. She is a fraud and complaints have been filed with DONA. She is on DONA's website to watch out for her fraudulant activity.
