Your Birth Story at Montefiore: 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 Montefiore can add any of these to their doula package:
Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Montefiore 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 Montefiore before you go home. See Fresh48 at Montefiore →
Maternity session at home or outdoors. At 32–36 weeks, in your home or at a park near you in the Bronx or Westchester.
Hospital photo and video rules can change, so we confirm them with your care team before your birth, and we always pause when staff ask us to. See the doula + photography packages →
