Partner Doulas
While Tori primarily provides awake overnight care—remaining alert throughout the night to tend to the infant—partner doulas are not expected to stay fully awake during overnight shifts. Instead, they may rest or sleep lightly between periods of care, responding promptly to the baby’s needs as they arise. This structure allows for sustainable support while maintaining the warmth, intuition, and reliability that defines the Matron of Motherhood model.
Whether supporting during the day or overnight, partner doulas offer a range of hands-on and heart-centered services, including:
Weeks 28-35. Pregnancy is MF powerful. Take advantage of your sweet belly and gorgeous glow!
Maternity
350
Documenting your journey to motherhood through powerful documentary-style photography.
Birth

Days 3-12 days old. Capturing all the fresh baby newness from toes to lips and everything in between.

3–4 Nights Per Week | 8–9 Hour Shifts | $60/hr
There’s a reason so many families return to or extend overnight doula care—because the early postpartum nights are where exhaustion, uncertainty, and baby's discomfort tend to peak. This thoughtfully designed 8-week package offers steady, nourishing support through the most tender and often challenging stretches of newborn life.
8 Weeks of Overnight Support
Pre-Baby Care & Preparation
In-home product planning session (ideally before your baby shower) to help guide your registry, review essentials, and ensure you're not over- or under-prepared. We'll talk through what’s actually helpful vs. what just looks cute on Instagram.
Postpartum planning session with Tori before baby’s arrival to walk through ideal nursery layout, gear placement, and tailored prep for both the baby and the birthing parent's physical and emotional recovery.
Ongoing text support and virtual check-ins in the weeks leading up to baby’s birth, so you never feel like you're waiting in the dark with unanswered questions.
Curated local resources including family-focused classes, pregnancy events, and newborn-centered offerings, so you’re connected and confident as you prepare.
Responsive, compassionate newborn care throughout the night
Tools and techniques for gas relief and tummy discomfort, especially crucial during weeks 2, 6, and 8
Support in establishing healthy sleep rhythms, laying the groundwork for independent sleep stretches around 8 weeks
Circumcision and umbilical cord care
Gentle rash prevention and diapering support
Latch and feeding guidance, whether nursing, bottle feeding, or both
Proper milk storage practices for pumping or collecting letdown
Wellness monitoring, record keeping, and quiet observations to share with parents in the morning
Nursery tidying, bottle/pump part washing, baby laundry, and a calm, reassuring overnight presence
Newborn gas discomfort often peaks at 2, 6, and 8 weeks, making it incredibly difficult for babies to settle and sleep peacefully—especially during the night. Many families who plan for only 4–6 weeks of support find that just as they’re ending care, things become the most intense. By extending to 8 full weeks, you’re supported through those harder nights and positioned to meet the natural shift that happens around two months: most babies begin sleeping in longer stretches on their own. With this package, you're not just getting rest—you’re investing in a smoother, more supported transition for your baby and yourself.

Services During Overnight Shifts
What’s Included
This package is for families who know that the night hours are just as important—if not more so—than the day. It’s for the ones who want to feel empowered, not depleted, when the sun rises. At Matron of Motherhood, we believe that deep rest, informed care, and intentional preparation create a postpartum experience that is not just survivable, but sacred.
Let us help you greet each morning with more peace, and more strength, than the night before.
Pre-consultation (in-person or video) discussing energy, birth plans, and style guide for maternity and newborn sessions
60-90 minute maternity session in-home or at a location of your choosing

Long Haul package includes:
2–3 Days Per Week | 3–5 Hour Visits | $50/hr
The postpartum days are filled with invisible labor—feedings, tears (the baby’s and yours), laundry, figuring out the wrap, wondering if you’re doing it “right.” With steady daytime support, families are reminded: you don’t have to carry it all.
This eight-week package is designed to provide that steady, skilled presence during the most adjustment-heavy hours of your week. With nourishing, grounded care, you're supported as a parent and as a person.
8 Weeks of Daytime Support
Feeding support (breast and bottle), including latch help and positioning tips
Milk storage guidance for pumping or collecting letdown during feeds
Gas and tummy discomfort relief techniques, especially key around weeks 2, 6, and 8
Bath time coaching to help your baby grow to love the water
Baby gear help—get confident with carriers, swaddles, bottles, and more

Laundry, bottle/pump cleaning, and general home tidying so you can rest easier
Emotional support for the birthing parent through grounding conversation, affirmation, and space to be heard
Home rhythm coaching—tips and systems to support your household without pressure or perfectionism
The first two months after birth are when families experience the steepest learning curves—physically, emotionally, and logistically. Feeding challenges, disrupted sleep, and daily recovery demands collide with a whole new family rhythm that’s still forming.
While many partners return to work just 3–4 weeks after baby is born, this package extends support through that next vulnerable stretch—when you’re suddenly navigating long days solo with a newborn. The 8-week timeline ensures you’re not left to juggle healing and infant care alone the moment your partner returns to work.
It creates a comforting buffer zone, where you’re supported during that critical transition and set up with the tools, rhythms, and reassurance to thrive.

I had such a great experience with Tori. My maternity album came out so beautiful and she made the whole process so comfortable for me! Tori truly is so wonderful. I recommend her to all of my girl friends havin' babies.
"I didn't think I wanted maternity pictures, my pregnancy was rough, but when I saw Tori's work, I knew I had to have them."
- John V
As a husband (and now dad), I wasn't sure about my wife's decision to hire a birth photographer. After I saw the photos of my son being born though, my mind is completely changed. What a gift!
"The birth was a whirlwind. One second she was pushing, then our baby was here. It was so fast."
- maryanne g
Tori has helped ease my mind so much. Her incredibly in-depth notes and "I got this" attitude has been life changing. We're all sleeping so much better and have less worry during the night.
"A friend suggested I hire Tori after having postpartum anxiety pretty bad with my second."
I share photos only with explicit permission via our contract. While I love all things pregnancy, birth, and baby related, my goal is to support you, ensuring this time of transition is filled with love, respect, empathy, and consent.
Will you post my photos online?
Those darn contractors and their disdain for beautiful large windows, am I right?! Not to fear, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve including mobile artificial lights that come with me to every session. I've also had clients rent really cute AirBNBs for their sessions. It's a win-win.
I want to book a photo sesh, but my house is really dark and doesn't get a ton of natural light. What do i do?
The earlier the better! Postpartum doula care fills my calendar especially quick as many book months in advance. Photography services require a bit more planning, therefore I ask that my wonderful families to contact me as soon as humanly possible so I am able to get you on the calendar and secure your care/spot. Please note: clients who have been scheduled will take priority over last-minute requests and inquiries.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
Looking for Answers?
First of all, thank you! Second, I am passionate about making doula, photography, and wellness coaching services accessible to everyone, recognizing that these valuable resources are not merely luxuries but essential components of a well-supported and empowered journey into parenthood. My goal is to provide education and support so that every mama, papa, and caregiver, regardless of financial constraints, can benefit from these services. To ensure inclusivity, I offer flexible payment plans, aiming to make these necessary and transformative services available to a broader range of families. It's not just about capturing moments or navigating the postpartum period; it's about equipping you with the knowledge and empowerment to live your best life during this significant and transformative time.
I love what you do, but can't afford everything i want.
While I am not an IBCLC, I can assist with latching, feeding positions, identifying challenges, assistance with pumping, introducing bottle feeding, and overall encouragement. Sleep training isn't recommended for infants under 4 months, as they are still in the early stages of development. At this age, they often require frequent feedings, their circadian rhythm is not fully established, and their self-soothing abilities are limited. Parenting styles vary, but research suggests that an authoritative approach is best for child development; I will honor your families preferences and offer evidence-based knowledge when applicable.
How do you approach issues such as breastfeeding, sleep training, and parenting styles?
In terms of communication for doula care, I utilize a group chat that includes Mom, Dad (or other parents/partners), and myself, ensuring everyone stays informed and connected. This approach is particularly beneficial during births. Following an overnight shift, both parents will receive a detailed email from me, outlining their baby's night, complete with time stamps. To accommodate individual preferences, my contact form provides an option for you to specify your preferred form of communication.
How do you typically communicate with parents?
Overnights are typically between 10pm-6am or 9pm-7am. Daytime care is relatively flexible, most families opting for morning or mid afternoon support. While schedules can be customized, there is an 8 hour shift minimum for overnights and a 4 hour minimum for daytime shifts.
What is your schedule for overnights? What about Daytime?
Absolutely! I am happy to meet with families before baby makes their grand entrance. This gives us the perfect chance for us to dive into your goals, paint a picture of what postpartum 'success' means to you, and vibe together to see if we're a good match.
Our baby isn't here yet, but i know we're going to need support. can i meet you beforehand?
Yes! I've been lucky enough to tag along with some wonderful families to care for and support their wee ones on business trips, vacations, and getaways both in and out of state. I love to travel, and offer these services to well-established clients.
I heard some doulas travel with families. Do you do this?
During our consult, we will discuss your budget and financial needs, aiming to establish a payment plan ideally before the baby arrives. This proactive approach ensures the seamless implementation of installments, enabling time for adjustments, clarifications, and any necessary refinements to the payment plan, creating a more personalized and stress-free financial arrangement for your upcoming journey into parenthood.
