  • 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.

Baby Layla wanted to take her time! At 42 weeks 4 days gestation and after two days of labor, this beautiful girl decided to join her loving patient family. Her mom was such a trooper; her two sisters, mom, husband, doulas, midwife, and niece were there the whole time as well! And I’m sure everyone would say that Layla was worth the wait.

I attended the early birth of this first-time dad’s baby girl last month. Thank you, Lance, for sharing this encouraging word!

“Having Kali on our team was a true blessing in every sense of the word. As a husband, it was a great relief to have someone in our corner that had been through the birth process many times before. Her experience and demeanor brought peace and clarity throughout the entire process. Having her there enhanced my role as a husband and allowed me to take better care of my wife. Before, during, and after the birth, she was there to support us in every way – the same way family would. We are forever appreciative for her role in the birth of our baby girl.” – Lance, 1st-time dad

I welcomed my third child, Enoch Noble Grandison Park, into the world two weeks ago on November 29th! If you are interested in reading my birth story, you may do so here. It was a wonderful birth with Vicky Wells, CPM and Sarah Anderson, CPM of Labor of Love attending as midwives. Enoch was 8 lbs 7 oz and 20 1/4 inches. We are doing well and adjusting to a fun chaotic life as a family of five!

I will be available to attend births starting at the end of January 2012. I am still encapsulating placentas anytime starting now.

Here are a few pictures from the birth that my husband took.
