Doula and Photographer Hawkes Bay,NZ

Supporting your transition to Parenthood

with ease and grace

and Capturing the Memories of your Heart

Your Life is Art

Hi, I’m Alexa,

Doula and Photographer of Birth and Life.

What I offer:

Amazing Birth Photography By Alexa Doula

It seems cliche to say, but life absolutely flies by

My mission:

to capture the memories of your Heart.

Your Life is Art.

I photograph:

  • You and your bump;

  • Your birth;

  • Your newborn;

  • Your motherhood;

  • Your family.

I am also a Doula:

“Doula” literally means to serve women, and this is what I do:

I support you to make informed choices through your journey of pregnancy, labour and birth, offering emotional, spiritual, mental and physical support. I advocate for you.

I offer an intuitively-guided, tailored package that meets your individual needs and wishes.

I support you.

Why do I do what I do?

I believe that informed decision making creates empowered birth, and I want you to experience this.

I believe it is important everyday life moments are remembered.

I believe in you.

How?

I am here to help you unlock your fears and transform them into affirmations, to support autonomy in birth, as in life.

I am here to witness you, to capture your memories and provide you with sentimental reminders that last forever.

I am here for you.

I believe birth has a deep and lasting impact on a woman’s life.

I can’t guarantee how your birth will turn out, but I can guarantee to be there for you, and in the case something doesn’t quite go as you imagined it.

Would you like me as your Doula or Photographer?

“Alexa was my doula and I absolutely love her.

She is truly amazing.

She is the most inspirational woman I have met on my journey through pregnancy and

I feel deep gratitude to have had her support, knowledge and presence.

She is very wise and has many great sources of information to help empower women.

She is full of love and compassion and has a calm, gentle nature and is also very funny and is always smiling.

I also had the honour of Alexa capturing our homebirth with stunning photography.

I will cherish these images for the rest of my days.

SO MUCH GRATITUDE!!!!”

-Rachel Bentley

Alexa has such a calming and warm presence. It can be quite vulnerable to welcome someone into your home and capture these intimate moments. Alexa made the whole experience so comfortable and smooth; I felt like I had known her for years. The photos she captured were so beautiful and we’ll cherish them forever.

Having an empowered birth is really important.

Imagine having a birth experience that lets you navigate those early newborn days with confidence and trust, drawing on the power you felt bringing your baby Earthside, and continuing to use that power positively throughout your baby’s life.

Imagine being able to remember through photographs, the feeling of growing your baby in your belly, the significant experience of your own birth, the first days with your tiny newborn, and a simple day in your family’s life.

It is in those moments that the magic lies.

These are the moments of YOUR life,

this is YOUR story.

“No words but simply masssssive gratitude for this wonder woman who empowered my third trimester, guarded my birthing space, held my hand and fed me banana just the right way.

In her presence I felt calm, seen and free to be.

Alexa made a beautiful green bouquet enhancing our home as a wonderful memory of an experience that I had hoped for, visualized and finally got to live.

I couldn’t have asked for more!”
