Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! My name is Danielle Wakefield and I've just opened up Alaskas first birth photography business!! It all came about when my sister in law and I were pregnant together. Both having boys, both mothers to adorable daughters. She asked me to be her doula during her VBAC. I was so excited! I had recently purchased a DSLR and was photographing my friends children for free. At a LLL meeting a sweet mama mentioned she had no one to photograph her birth and I volunteered. Then a light bulb went off! Was there a such thing as a birth photographer? Would I be any good at it? I loved photography, and had the equipment, and love births! So I asked my husband who origionally said "um, no. there is not a market." (haha) But quickly changed back into his supportive self and marched me right downtown to purchase my very own business liscence!
The posts that follow will be about me and my journey of being a trailblazer and introducing Alaska to the idea of birth photography. They'll be full of glowing blossoming mothers, exciting news of babies being born, tiny sweet innocent newborns and of course all about my life as the stay at home mom of 2 spirited little ones! I hope you'll join me for the ride!
