Doula Information

So I just finished taking my doula class with DONA. My next step is to write a paper about the importance of doulas, finish compiling my resource list for expectant parents, and get at least (hopefully more!) clients, since I need write-ups from three moms whose births I've attended, plus an evaluation from both the doctors/midwives and nurses who were present at the births. Then I can get certified (yay!) If you are pregnant and planning a hospital/birth center birth, or if you know someone who is, please consider using me as your doula - my services will be free for the first three people, the only compensation I will ask for will be the write-ups.

Thanks!
Danielle Wilson, doula

Baby Anna: The rest of the post :)

Thank you for your patience, everyone! Here's the rest of baby Anna's photos. I hope y'all enjoy them!

 Asher's now a big brother!

 The house they live in had some horses, so of course I had to go look at them and take a few pics... :)

Sneak Peak: Baby Anna

So I quickly thought I'd post this little sneak peak of the adorable baby I photographed the other day. She's such a sweetheart! Anyway, enjoy!

Kitchin Family

This family was so cute! I loved photographing them. I took the pictures at their in-law's house, and their seven kids cooperated very well. Thank you, Kitchin family, for letting me take your family pics! :) Btw, it was REALLY hard trying to decide which pics to post, since the kids are all so cute. :)

The Value of Photo Editing

I know, not many people are happy when I mention photo editing (unless it's followed by "Oh! Does that mean you can erase my wrinkles/double chin?" - no, I can't, as far as I know of.). But photo editing has many pros. It can take a picture from blah to wow. Here's a couple of my favorite examples:

 Ok, so this one is more subjective. I think with the current light, it doesn't look that adventurous. So, before...

Ok, you get the point...

 Ok, this one isn't as noticeable,

 Happy birth day!

Now let's get some drama going here!
