Hi, I'm Krysta
I'm a birth doula and motherhood photographer serving Salt Lake County and surrounding areas.
I’m a VBAC mama, birth doula, and motherhood photographer devoted to walking alongside women through their profound transition into motherhood.
My passion for birth work began in 2018 with the birth of my first baby—an unexpected cesarean following a cascade of interventions—which sparked a deep passion for honoring and understanding the intricacies of birth and reclaiming autonomy in the birth space. Since then, I’ve immersed myself in continuous learning, certified as a doula, celebrated motherhood through photography, and supported moms with informed, grounded guidance.
In 2024, I welcomed my second baby in a redemptive birth center VBAC—still challenging, but entirely my own. That birth revealed the raw, untamed resilience at the heart of every woman and mother, as well as the beauty and transformative power of physiological birth. It solidified my belief in the importance of preparation, intuition, and a team who trusts birth, trusts you, and empowers you to trust yourself.

What I'll Bring to Your Birth Journey
“Modern obstetrics often centers around control, not trust. We speak of birth as something to get through instead of something to lean into. It’s a system that distrusts the natural rhythms of the body, replaces intuition with intervention, and calls it safety.”
As a doula, I offer a calm, confident presence rooted in reverence for birth, current research, and trust in a mother’s intuition and strength. You don’t need to be saved or steered. You deserve someone to walk alongside you—celebrating your wins, supporting you through the tough spots, and offering reliable, evidence-based, autonomy-centered guidance and empowerment.
My work as a photographer flows from that same reverence. Through lifestyle photography, I capture the quiet, fleeting moments– the anticipation of pregnancy, the fierceness of labor, and the wonder of the newborn days—the parts that pass quickly but live forever in your heart. My goal is to preserve more than just how these times looked, but how they felt. Encapsulating the deep connections, raw emotions, and intimate beauty of your story in a way that transcends time.
Whether I’m supporting your birth or documenting your journey, I offer presence, care, and connection every step of the way.
Birth is unpredictable, but my support is not.
