Genesis Birth Services & Photography

Hi! I'm Elizabeth! I am a wife and mother of two. My husband and I recenly purcesed a "fixer-upper" house in a little southern Minnesota town where I grew up. I get excited about watching high school sports, working on our house, cloth diapering and getting to know like minded moms.

 

I first fell in love with the birth community at 15. While pregnant, my cousin offered me support, knowledge and

doula services at no cost. From that point, I knew that I wanted to make a difference in the way women of all ages felt about their journey into motherhood and their childbirth experience. Five years later, I became pregnant with our daughter and the inflexibilty of tradtional OBGYN services led me into the care of a midwife. 

 

After the homebirth of our daughter, I found myself being drawn back to the few photos and one short video wishing that I had captured the amazing experience in a more meaningful way. I had been doing hobby photography for family and friends while attending school for medical assisting and becoming Doula-certified. It became increasingly clear that there was a need to help other parents-to-be memorialize the entrance of their new child by someone who understood pregnancy, labor, and birth.
