I did something fun the other day đ€©đ€©
Often times in birth work, there is little to show of your work unless you are a birth photographer. Doulas are often left without photos that show them working, unique images for content creation (which is how they growâŠ), and unless the family that you supported also has a photographer AND allows for images to be sharedâmost of the time, weâre all outta luck.
Mock births or mini branding sessions for these reasons are what helps doulas practice and gain experience, but also allows them to get used to working while being photographed or with distractions in a no risk environment. Mock births have been a thing for a while, but they are typically large scale and there are none in the great state of Pennsylvania đ
No, these images wonât show the true emotion of birth, but they show the support, the details, and the intention behind what birth workers strive to show for families. There are so many ways to do a mini branding for doulas, but often these are the ones that yield the best, authentic images (especially if everyone has had a baby and/or attended birth previously).
Youâll have to keep an eye out on page for more images. Needless to say, these colors are gorgeous and a labor zone you can manipulate to be pretty is always such a fun experience.
