Hi! I’m Shelby,
Red Deer doula, birth photographer, and birth filmmaker, as well as a wife, mom of 4, and Vice President of the Red Deer Doula Association. Informed consent is my jam, and I believe that every story is worthy of being documented. If I’m not at a birth, you can probably find me lifting weights to Post Malone, playing mermaids at the lake, or in my kitchen pouring latte art.
Love Notes
When I look back on my labour, I cannot imagine going through it without Shelby there. I had a long labour, and Shelby was with us through it all. Looking back I know she must have been absolutely exhausted, but I never once felt that during my labour. She gave my husband and I both the strength we needed to pull through and welcome our baby. Shelby as a birth photographer is a whole other review. She captured our journey beautifully, and even captured moments of her acting as our doula which was so special to look back on. Basically to sum up my entire experience with Shelby, she knew exactly what I needed when I needed it, and then made it happen, every step of the way.
Shelby is an amazing doula, she stood by my side throughout my whole labour and birthing process. Truthfully I don’t remember much of it, but I remember feeling confident, supported, loved and relaxed. She helped me have the birth I dreamed of, and I believe it is because of her that I managed to cope through all my discomfort. Today Shelby is a friend of mine and I will definitely hire her as my doula for my next pregnancy!
Shelby did an incredible job! She was a peaceful presence and did such a beautiful job at capturing this sacred night – if you’re in the Central Alberta area and looking for a birth photographer to capture one of the most significant days of your life – Shelby is wonderful!
I highly recommend Shelby! I had her at my home birth and was so happy with not just the photos but also her kind and calming presence as a doula.
Shelby was there for my home birth and captured all the raw emotions and love of delivering my third baby. She was a lovely addition to my birth support and I really loved having her with us at such a special time. I highly recommend her!!
Shelby helped me so much with my labour, and it was really amazing to have her there with me! Her hip presses helped sooo much. She knew exactly where to press to make each contraction a little less painful. Thank you for being there and helping welcome Alycie into the world.
Shelby was there for the birth of my first daughter, and will be there for my next. She is a sweetheart and wonderful at what she does.
