Birth Photographer & Doula in the Bronx, NYC
The Bronx has some of New York's finest maternity hospitals. It also has very few birth photographers — and almost no one offering certified doula support alongside professional photography.
YourCherish fills that gap.
We are a team of 7 DONA-certified doulas who are also professional documentary photographers. Bronx families deserve the same quality of birth support and documentation that Manhattan and Brooklyn families have always had access to. We show up for every birth with clinical training, certification, and a camera — and we know your hospital.
We Attend Births at Every Bronx Hospital
Montefiore Medical Center
One of the Bronx's largest and most respected maternity hospitals, Montefiore explicitly supports doula integration — calling itself a "doula-friendly hospital" with midwife and doula integration for delivery support. We work seamlessly within their L&D team and are familiar with both the Moses and Wakefield campuses.
Lincoln Hospital
Serving the South Bronx community. We attend births here and coordinate directly with the care team to ensure smooth access for both doula support and photography.
BronxCare Health System
Formerly Bronx-Lebanon Hospital. Serving the Grand Concourse and surrounding Bronx neighborhoods. We are available for births here.
Jacobi Medical Center
A major North Bronx medical center. We attend births at Jacobi and are familiar with their policies.
North Central Bronx Hospital
Serving Norwood, Williamsbridge, and surrounding neighborhoods. We attend births here.
Delivering somewhere not listed? We serve every hospital in the Bronx. Reach out — we almost certainly know your facility.
Why Bronx Families Choose YourCherish
You shouldn't have to leave the Bronx to get quality birth support.
Some Bronx families feel like the best photographers and doulas are only for Manhattan. That's not true — and it has never been what we believe. Every family deserves presence, care, and images that honor their birth story.
Montefiore is a doula-friendly hospital.
Montefiore's own website states it supports "midwife and doula integration for delivery support." YourCherish doulas integrate smoothly with Montefiore's clinical team. Your care doesn't stop at our door — it extends into the room with your nurses and doctors.
DONA-certified. Clinically trained.
Every YourCherish doula holds DONA International certification. Our founder holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. We understand labor — the physical stages, the emotional architecture, the moments that need support versus the moments that need a camera.
A team of 7. You are never left without coverage.
Solo photographers and doulas can't be everywhere. We have 7 certified specialists. If two Bronx families go into labor on the same night, both get their doula. Every time.
Multilingual.
Our team includes English, Russian, and Spanish speakers — a meaningful difference for the Bronx's diverse community.
What Bronx Families Say
"No one told me there was a photographer who was also a doula. I thought I had to choose. YourCherish changed everything about how I thought about birth support. My photos from Montefiore are extraordinary."
— Carmen R., Riverdale, The Bronx
"I had my baby at Lincoln and I was nervous about having a photographer there. Olga knew exactly how to work with the nurses and made everything feel calm and beautiful. I look at those photos every day."
— Jasmine T., Mott Haven, The Bronx
"For the Bronx to have access to this level of service is incredible. She came to us. She knew our hospital. She was everything."
