Alright friends, I need some help. Almost 5 months of covid has severely impacted my business. I have not been able to attend over 80% of the births I had booked since March due to hospital restrictions. I have had only one inquiry. Sadly, I can’t continue like this At this time, second support people are being welcomed in to home births, so until the foreseeable future these are the only births I am able to attend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do, and want to keep supporting b...irthing people, and documenting their journey into parenthood... but it's apparent I can't do that anymore without your help. What can you do to help ? * If I have ever photographed you and your family, I would love if you could please leave me a review on Facebook, and Google. Feel free to copy and paste. * Please like, love, comment and share any and all social media posts you see from me. I promise to start sharing more! This engagement really helps me. * If you are comfortable sharing your birth story, please post images and/or your slideshow in local Victoria Mommas groups so more people can see the beauty of birth. * Please tell all your pregnant friends about me, tell them how much you value your birth photos. (Or maternity, and newborn photos) * Buy gift certificates for sessions for family and friends. * Need art for your walls? I sell lovely landscape prints. Message me and I will send you a link! * Need images for your practice? Message me, I would love to hook you up with some gorgeous pregnancy, birth and newborn art for your walls. * If I have sent you a feedback questionnaire, please take a few moments to fill it out. That testimonial can be used on social media, and on my website, and blog moving forward. ( And also really makes me feel like what I do matters, when I have been feeling really low) * Write a letter to VIHA to let them know you think doula support should be allowed again. Currently VGH is the only island hospital that hasn’t opened back up to allow second support people. (Pm me and I can send you deets) Thank you so much for all your support. ~Shea XOXOX *Lovely little soul delivered at home by Cowichan Midwifery Collective <3 Midwives Association of British Columbia

Happy first year Oscar! You sure kept us all on our toes, and I am so fortunate that it worked out I could be there for your birth, and to document you meeting your older brother! You are so loved!! Care provider: Cowichan Midwifery Collective ... Midwives Association of British Columbia See more

Anyone know a noticeably pregnant person, who might be interested in an impromptu maternity session ? Must be comfortable with bare belly showing, and be available in the evening 7-9:30 pm. Any images I use from the session will be gifted to the model, with the option to purchase more. Pm me for details, and please feel free to tag and share.
