HI THERE!

I AM HONORED THAT YOU ARE HERE!

Being a birth and postpartum doula and newborn photographer, meeting families where they are, has been a blessing in my life. I truly feel like it has been placed on my heart by God right next to the most important role - being a mother.

Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life. I believe that how you feel and how informed you are matters. Having a friend, a woman - a doula that walked this path before you, can shape your motherhood journey.

As a doula and photographer, I am passionate about nurturing and preserving these sacred moments —from growing life to birth, fresh babies, and the intimacy of postpartum. want you to feel cared for, confident, empowered, and truly seen on your journey.

“I am so grateful to have had Lucie as a doula for the pregnancy and home birth of my twins. She is so genuine, knowledgeable, and supportive, and her passion to serve is so inspiring. She is a gentle and fierce protector of the holiness of birth and captures the most breath taking birth photography I will cherish forever. She goes above and beyond. A true friend. No words can describe my gratitude for her!”

“Lucie was there for me postpartum in every way! I could not have made it without her gentle and caring guidance. I was having struggles with my son latching to my left breast and Lucie was literally giving me support as soon as I reached out to her. She really knows what mom’s need in the tender time period after birth. Due to lack of sleep and caring for my newborn, I didn’t have a lot of time to research/educate myself on breastfeeding, but Lucie was there for me giving me pertinent feedback and even providing articles and images to support my breastfeeding journey. Lucie  gave me so much support during my pregnancy as well! You can absolutely place your trust in Lucie to be there for your family. I often feel so blessed to know her.”
