motherhood doulatog - capturing the mundane & momentous.
Tradtitional Homebirth Doula & all things Motherhood Photographer - booking for the year of 2025.
I’m based in NW Florida & try to serve the majority of the panhandle! More specifically, YOU.
My intention for being a doulatog is to serve you in your sacred birth space, while also capturing glimpses of time throughout it. That way - you are able to reminisce and romanticize the most life changing moment as a mother.
I offer both doula services & photography services individually & simultaneously. As well as, maternity portraits, family sessions, and breastfeeding sessions.
Let me capture yours & share YOUR story!
SERVICES:
Motherhood Session -
This session is just of you & those sweet babies of yours.
Breastfeeding Session -
This one tends to be shorter, just depending on how much the baby eats but we usually snag a few where they aren’t eating as well!
Maternity -
Session includes momma, significant other and other children if you have them. This session also includes an outfit change if you choose to do so.
Families -
This session is an hour long, for up to 5 people (we can do more but it will then be considered a group session!)
Birth (Home or Birth Center) -
This session is obviously an “on-call” type of situation. Starting at 37 weeks I am on call and I am there for however long mom needs/wants me at this special event. I stay for about an hour after birth getting those “first moments” captured!
A little more about me…
Im a wife, girl mom, and 20something SoCal native. I typically have always had a camera of some sort in my hands but after becoming a mom I realized moms aren’t often in photos, and I find that a shame. I think it should be the opposite. I think there needs to be photos of both the momentous and the mundane, in a world full of iPhone camera rolls, there needs to be more photo albums.
More specifically, I think there needs to be more photos of motherhood and the event where that comes to its head, - BIRTH. I think many families and society as a whole could benefit from seeing raw, real, powerful and beautiful photos like this. Birth shouldn’t be something “scary”, which is why I hope you choose me to help and/or portray that for you. But we can have a chat more about birth philosophy in person ;)
“Rye’s the best! We felt so comfortable and she was able to capture our personalities because of it! She makes freezing these moments in time feel so special!

Family In- Home Session
“I was blessed to meet Rye and her sweet family when they came to our first ever doula meet and greet at Sage! I prayed she would want to meet with me because I could tell we’d become sisters for life. Being by her side during her birth truly changed me as a doula, she is so strong. I remember early conversations after her sweet girl was born about her becoming a doula herself. I knew she would be amazing at it! Then she was my photographer for my son Zion, and she was not only amazing at that but she acted as a doula to me as well. I couldn’t imagine how it would have gone without her calming presence. Having photos of your birth is so sacred. Hire Rye and you’ll have much more than just photos. ”

Homebirth
“Highly recommend- particularly if you have little ones you’re trying to capture! Ryan did a wonderful job capturing my family. There was a perfect blend of candid photos capturing my kids’ personalities, along with more traditional “portrait” type shots. Even though my toddlers can be unpredictable, Rye didn’t miss a beat, rolled with it, and managed to get beautiful photos our family will cherish!”
