Doulananda Birth Services and Jennifer Mendoza Photography are happy to announce our new partnership! Because we share a passion for celebrating and supporting families, we are joining forces to provide photography services to Doulananda HypnoBirthing students and doula clients.

With our likeminded approach to creating experiences that honor each of our clients as individuals, we think that our collaboration is a great fit and benefit to Doulananda families. Each family will receive credit for one maternity or newborn session with Jennifer Mendoza Photography. This is a $300 value, but is complimentary to you with the price of tuition, or doula fee.

The phases of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood are among the most beautiful and fleeting in our lives. Together we are committed to making it a positive and joyful experience that will be captured and cherished for generations.

If you are expecting, or may be in the near future, I encourage you to consider taking a HypnoBirthing class, or consulting with one of their doulas. I did both, with my last pregnancy, and with beautiful results! I’m thrilled at the thought of the families and babies that I will get to meet as a result of this partnership.

This is one of the very first photos of me, T, and baby CA, taken by our friend, doula, and HypnoBirthing teacher, Melissa Johnson (thank you for, on top of everything else, having the presence of mind to grab my camera)!

A sneak peek from my last pre-Christmas family session of the year! A few newborns on the horizon, but it is up to them whether they will join us before 2012. I am crossing my fingers that I will even get to capture the home birth of one special baby boy this month.

A quick thanks to all the amazing families I have had the privilege to work with this year. As my own family has grown, I feel very lucky to have been able to continue do this work that I love. It is an honor that you trust me to document your lives.

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.  -Bill Cosby

I met this mama just weeks before she gave birth to her son, and we have had dinner together with three other amazing ladies just about every month since then. I liked her immediately because her laugh is contagious and she always calls it as she sees it, no matter how (in)appropriate. We call our dates “Moms’ Night Out,” so while I hear a lot about what is going on with her family, I rarely get to spend time with her AND her family. This was a special treat for me to get to see and photograph her with the men in her life.

Beautiful light + beautiful family = one happy photographer!

Next year this monkey will be at school Mondays through Friday. But for now, she still allows me some Mommy Days when we go to story time, run errands, and do some location scouting.

Here she is, on a cold rainy day a couple of weeks ago, helping me scope out the site of this year’s mini sessions.
