  • Cherish The Miracle of Your Baby’s Birth Day

    The experience of riding the waves of labor. Your strength, your determination. Your partner's excitement, concern, joy. The moment of birth arrives! First look. First breathe. Baby's head settling on your chest for the first time. First little squeaky cries. Her little eyes looking into yours. His tiny mouth rooting for nourishment, for comfort. This moment will never happen again. No matter how many babies have been welcomed into the world, your baby, THIS baby, has his own special day. A miraculous day. A day that can be preserved for you, your family, and your sweet baby for her lifetime.

    I'd love to be a part of your special day, to document this miraculous journey as it unfolds. Mama Matters offers birth photography to the East Texas and DFW areas and doula services to the Greater Tyler area.

Hello friends and potential clients! I just want to share that I am now on maternity leave from doula work.  Here is the general timeline for when I will return to work:

Doula Care: Taking clients starting with April 2014 due dates.
Birth Photography: Taking clients starting with late March 2014 due dates.
Placenta Encapsulation: No break! I will be encapsulating at any time.
Family/Other Photography: Will resume shooting again in February 2014.

If you are wanting a services for dates within my maternity leave, please still ask! I may take some on case-by-case basis, or I can refer you to other lovely doulas in the area.

I am also already starting to fill up for spring & summer (doula/birth photography), so the earlier you contact me, the better! 🙂

I loved doing a mini maternity shoot with beautiful Stefani, who was 38 weeks pregnant during the shoot! The reason they are watermarked with “Kali Shanti Photography” is because I’m launching a new photography business for other types of photography besides birth! I’m excited! I’m working on a website, but my Facebook page is Kali Shanti Photography. I’d love for you all to “Like” my page!

I was so blessed to be both the doula and the photographer for this birth!.This sweet family was a repeat client of mine; I attended the birth of their firstborn, Kidron, two years ago and was SO happy they chose to have me again! It was a beautiful birth, with Mama so calm and happy, even surprising us all when she was still talking and laughing at 7cm! Her sweet daughter was born with minimal pushing in the water, which was a huge answer to prayer as she had really wished for a shorter second stage labor than her last birth. Her daughter, Kyra, is just gorgeous, and I loved being there.

This beautiful baby girl came so fast no one but the apprentice midwife made it to the birth! Even though I arrived after the birth, I sure loved getting to know this lovely baby during her first few hours! Her two older sisters just loved her and had a hard time letting anyone else hold her. What a lovely first homebirth for this sweet family!
