Birth Photographer & Doula in Queens, NYC
Most families in Queens search for a birth photographer. A doula. Two separate people. Two separate bookings. Two strangers in your delivery room.
YourCherish is the only Queens team that is both — in one person, at one price.
Our DONA-certified doulas are also professional documentary photographers. When you hire YourCherish for your Queens birth, you get continuous labor support and world-class photography from the same person who knows your birth plan, knows your hospital, and knows exactly when to hold your hand and when to pick up the camera.

Why Queens Families Choose YourCherish
One team. One relationship. One price.
You don't manage a photographer and a doula separately. You don't worry about whether two strangers will coordinate in your delivery room. One person who knows you walks in, supports your labor, and documents your baby's arrival.
DONA-certified. Clinically trained.
Our founder holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. Every doula on our team is DONA International certified. We understand the emotional and physical architecture of labor — not just what it looks like from behind a camera.
Queens is our home too.
We've attended births in Flushing, Forest Hills, Jamaica, Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Ridgewood, and Bayside. We know Queens traffic. We know which hospitals have easy parking and which need a plan. We show up — on time, ready, and fully present.
A team of 7, not a solo photographer.
We are a team of 7 certified doulas and photographers. If your birth happens simultaneously with another client's, you are never left without coverage. Your doula arrives. Every time.

— Maria L., Forest Hills, Queens
"I'm so glad I didn't compromise. I have a doula AND photos that make me cry every time I look at them. Queens moms — don't skip this."
