Birth Doula and Photographer

Having a baby is one of the most exciting times of your life!

It is also often one that feels overwhelming.

BUT what if you could have a seasoned birth doula, maternity and birth photographer, childbirth educator, and yoga instructor as your own personal guide? Someone who has 15+ years of experience throughout Denver and Boulder helping hundreds of families navigate pregnancy, prepare for birth and gently heal postpartum?

I am honored to serve families as they walk their way toward meeting their babies.

I’d love to meet with you to hear more about how I might support you.

Meet with Me

Hi! I’m Rebecca Peterson and I’m so glad you have found your way here!

I have spent the last 15 years serving families in Denver and Boulder as a doula, childbirth educator, yoga instructor and birth community member!

When I’m not at a birth or editing photos, I am having fun with my loving husband and two amazing kiddos! We enjoy running mountain trails, exploring new places, playing on the side of a mountain rock climbing and most importantly, enjoying slower moments as a family.

Giving birth will ask you to surrender, love deeply, and step into the world of the unknown. As your birth doula and photographer, my role is to ensure you feel held, supported and that you have agency over your body and birth while unobtrusively documenting the moments you will forever cherish.

Client Testimonials

“During labor, Rebecca was an absolute godsend. She helped me stay focused on my breathing, made sure I was comfortable, and most importantly, she gave me the confidence I needed to have the birth experience I wanted. Rebecca also guided my husband, ensuring he knew how to best support me, and worked seamlessly with the hospital staff to create a calm and positive environment.”
