Boho themed family newborn photoshoot

Hi, I'm Chrashae...

 

Over the past 9 years I have attended over 150 births  as a birth doula and birth photographer. Each one holds a special place in my heart. I'm truly humbled to witness such intimate moments and to be invited into that space each time. And yes...I still cry when a baby is born.

My Why...

After the birth of my son in 2016, I became a Certified Birth Doula with DONA International. I've always grabbed a nearby phone to snap a few pictures for my doula clients; but I knew after having a Birth Photographer for my second birth, that this was something I HAD to do.  


Capturing those precious, fleeting moments is something so sacred. "Labor land" is a real place mamas go during labor, and afterward,  it can feel like a blur. One of the most important days in your life, the birth of your baby, should NOT be a blur.

So Worth It...

We all know how quickly they grow; and if you don't know yet, you soon will!


Sometimes photos are my escape from the bittersweet reality of my kids growing up. My husband and I look back at them often and we're so thankful to have them. A little hack at rewinding life, if even for a few moments.


And it starts with their birthday. The day they joined you earthside. I'd love to help you create lasting memories that you can reminisce on for years to come. You won't regret it - I promise.

Capturing the moments that will help you relive your favorite memories, time and time again. Allowing you to really live in the moment and giving you a Burst of Joy for years to come.

Kind words

“Chrashae with Burst of Joy is absolutely incredible. She was the calm to my storm. Not only was she there as my photographer to capture the once-in-a-lifetime moments of the birth of my daughter, she was the support and encouragement I needed, and that my husband needed. ”
