Your Birth Story at Hackensack: Doula + Photography

Your YourCherish doula is also a documentary birth photographer, so you never have to bring a stranger into your birth room. Families delivering at Hackensack can add any of these to their doula package:

  • Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Hackensack quietly documents your labor and your baby's first moments, without adding another person to the room.

  • Fresh48 in your postpartum room. Soft, unposed photos of your first days together, taken at Hackensack before you go home. See Fresh48 at Hackensack →

  • Maternity session in Van Saun County Park. At 32–36 weeks, in Paramus, a short drive from the hospital, or in your home.
