Your Birth Story at Weill Cornell: 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 Weill Cornell can add any of these to their doula package:
Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Weill Cornell 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 Weill Cornell before you go home. See Fresh48 at Weill Cornell →
Maternity session in Carl Schurz Park. At 32–36 weeks, along the East River on the Upper East Side, a short trip from the hospital.
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 →
