‘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.”

Lisa Henderson, mama to this gorgeous girl, Lola.

Thanks so much Alexa. I loved working with you, and you were invaluable for Natalie, not sure how she would have got through without you.

You were huge support for me too,

Your calm presence and your magical voice should be mandatory at all births.

You do a wonderful thing and it was my privilege to meet you.”

Doula and photographer supporting natural water birth  in birthing center

“No words but simply massssive 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!”

Alexa! I am so excited you are doing this!

I have the most beautiful memory of you when you were only 17 years old delivering my baby girl.

I knew that out of everyone I knew,

even at such a young age,

you were the one that I wanted there

with your gentle but strong presence,

and I'm so happy I made that decision.”

"It was absolutely wonderful being photographed by Alexa.

I was feeling a bit unsure about my body but she made it such a fun and comfortable experience! The photos were incredible. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Such a beautiful connection and made me feel so in love with my body. “

“I feel so blessed to have had your incredible soft loving energy at my birth.

You were helpful, gentle, encouraging and full of love and smiles every time I set eyes on you…..

I didn't take any notice of the fact that you where taking photos because I was so deep in my body during labour. Only when I had breaks and I could come out of my self did I even notice there where others in the room with me aside from my partner.

So looking forward to seeing the images from this unforgettable event.

The most important amazing powerful thing I could ever have experienced.

It changed me forever.”
