We're so glad you've joined us today. We’re diving into a topic we're really excited about: the differences between home births and hospital births.

One of the coolest parts of our job as birth photographers is that we get to experience both hospital and home births. Today, we want to talk about the differences we've noticed. We feel lucky to witness both settings, and we hope this conversation helps you feel empowered to choose the best birth setting for you. If you have any questions or want to learn more, check out our courses and resources at birthbecomesyou.com.

Hey, everyone! Thanks so much for joining us; we took a couple of weeks off, and we are so glad to be back with all of you to talk about birth photography and the complexities of our work.

Today, Monet and Jen dive into a crucial topic: what happens when a birth becomes traumatic. It's a tough conversation but an important one. We share our experiences and insights on how to handle these challenging situations, both as birth photographers and doulas.

Join us as we discuss the wide range of what can constitute birth trauma, how to be sensitive and supportive to your clients, and the importance of documenting even the difficult moments. Plus, hear about our recent birth stories and how we navigated those unpredictable moments.

We believe in creating a world where birth is visible, shame is absent, fear is translated to power, and each experience is honored. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's talk about the realities of birth work together.
