Meet Your doulatog
I’m Natalie, your Charleston based doulatog: Part birth coach, part baby paparazzi, and all heart. I’m a Certified Professional Birth Doula with ToLabor, and a Certified Birth Doula, EpiDoula and trained Lactation Specialist, with MaternityWise International, holding multiple certifications to support you through every kind of birth experience. Im a mom of 3 plus 3 bonus boys, a wife and when i’m not in the birth room, i’m sitting in a gym with my competitive gymnasts or traveling for a gymnastics meet!
Birth photography isn’t just something I do, it’s one of my greatest passions. As your doulatog, I blend emotional and physical birth support with documentary style photography, capturing the raw, powerful, fleeting moments that make your birth story uniquely yours. From the quiet anticipation to the first cry, I preserve the moments you may not even realize are happening while you're doing the incredible work of bringing your baby into the world. My goal is to help you stay present in your experience while creating timeless images that allow you to relive the strength, connection, and beauty of your birth for years to come.
I also run a pretty rad birth + wellness collective called A Brighter Birth, stacked with an awesome doula team, childbirth education classes with discounts, resources, referrals, and good vibes to keep you feeling supported and empowered. I’m head over heels for unmedicated birth, but if an epidural is part of your plan, I’m fully trained and ready to help you stay calm, comfortable, and connected every step of the way. Whatever your path looks like, I’ve got all the tricks, tips, and good vibes to keep things flowing smoothly.
My belief
My belief is that birth is about reclaiming our power, taking birth back, and remembering that we are total badasses capable of incredible things. Birth isn't something that simply happens to you, it's an experience you actively move through, shaped by your choices, your voice, your instincts, and your strength. Every birthing person deserves to feel informed, supported, respected, and deeply connected to the process, no matter what their birth looks like.
Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, a scheduled cesarean, or you're just figuring it all out as you go, your birth story is yours. There’s no gold star for doing it one way or another. What matters is that you feel informed, respected, and connected to the experience in a way that feels right for you.
I want every family I work with to walk into birth feeling confident, capable, and surrounded by good vibes. Because when you have the right support, a little knowledge, and people in your corner who truly believe in you, amazing things can happen.
I’m here to help you tune out the fear, turn up your intuition, and embrace the wild, beautiful ride of bringing a new human into the world. And because these moments go by faster than a disco ball spins, I’m passionate about documenting them too. The determined look in your eyes, the hand squeezes, the happy tears, the first hello with your baby, these are the moments that become part of your family’s legacy.
My goal is simple: to help you create a birth experience that feels powerful, positive, and completely your own, one you’ll look back on and think, “Dang, I did that.” Because you did. And that deserves to be celebrated!
