Choose Delicious

Leave a comment

Choose something today, for yourself, that is delicious.
It is your perspective, it is literal.
Yesterday I made my bed in all the layers of texture and comfort and an esthetic I am reloving my home with, slowly. My Scandanvian roots are calling me, I am curious for this door opening of explorative living. So the bed, felt delicious and I chose a womb healing sound meditation and allowed 15min of delicious space & intention into my morning. I am choosing delicious not as my word of the year but for as long as it serves me.
I see how this wraps up and holds my motherhood sessions. – Let’s work from a lens of delicious.
.
AND ( I double dipped in one day!!)
I chose this beautiful and delicate baby blue teddy to wear as my base layer, under the well worn jeans and cotton floral shirt,.still under the pale pink wool coat…but it was there right up against my skin and it was mine and for me and it was my delicious.
Hmm and today, I am thinking of some special whipped up cocoa while I edit birth images- yes I think that’s what my delicious will be today.

Missoula Birth Photographer | Doula Support

Leave a comment

Coined by the late Jeannine Parvati Baker – the term “birthkeeper”refers to a woman who not only supports a mother during pregnancy, the birth and the time after but even more importantly, encourages women to know their rights, empower themselves with knowledge to ensure that we as women are claiming our responsibility …

I am really resonating with this label. Even though it is just that, a label. Doula, Birth Support person, Birth Keeper, Great Auntie, My Best Friend. I had a great conversation with a retired midwife about doula work. We discussed that women who hold space for women, with innate wisdom, groundedness trust and more ARE the support, are the doulas are the keepers. Our society can put whatever name to it. We can create programs, trainings and standards. But you know what you know deep within when you are a Birth Keeper. Your gifts cannot be taught or articulated through a course.

I am a mother of 4, I am a birth worker, birth photographer, women’s essence witness.- truly.

Should I have a Birth Keeper?

Do you want to increase your chances of having the birth you desire?

Do you want to tap in to your power as a woman?

Do you want continued physical, mental and emotional support focused completely on you?

Do you want to take pressure off dad or help him become more in tune with you?

Do you want to be an active participant in your birth?

Do you want to be cared for instead of managed?

Do you know that you are in charge of your birth, body and baby and you can say no or decline any medical procedure that doesn’t align with your families values?

If you answered yes to any of these then you should have a birth keeper.

“Jenna! I love seeing your work on these birth pages that were so much a part of helping me get to my dream of a homebirth. It’s so much more than just the social media though. It gives me chills. Your work is changing the world girlfriend! Thank you thank you thank you! I just have to express it to you because I think it all the time.”

Be a hero of humanity.

How does that work?

Birth Stories

When you invest in certain businesses they might donate 1% to world hunger, etc. You’ve seen this right? Why do we love it and why does the company let us know? Because, of course- we want to be part of something BIGGER than ourselves. We LOVE knowing that our purchase paid it forward to better humanity. The company/business rejoices in the bigger hand they have on a community, national, or global scale- so it’s a great thing to brag about!!!

How does this post relate to Jenna Nord Photography?

I’ve been talking alot in recent weeks about how a woman becomes her own HERO of humanity when she invests in her birth story because: 

Your birth story is one of your greatest contributions to humanity.  When you invest in your Birth Story you contribute to Your own Empowerment, Your own Validation, Your own Celebration, Your own Healing.

When women are empowered, validated, celebrated and can heal- what kind of ripple effect does this have on our communities, on our world? Personally, I think the ripple effect COMPARES TO NONE. I’m saying, I believe the results cannot be quantified, they are unconquerable, insurmountable …….

Let’s say this belief is up for debate and you’re not 100% sitting in the same camp with me-

How else are you a HERO in relation to Jenna Nord Photography?

I currently am the soul volunteer for Community Medical Center- and provide families with demise photography. These photographs will be the only photographs they have of their baby, forever.
