“I loved my experience with Morgan. A doula and photographer is the perfect package! We had very helpful sessions prior to the birth. They were very long sessions too, which prepped me well for the big day. I never felt like our sessions felt rushed. I felt comfortable asking as many questions that came to mind. Even though this was my second birth experience, I still learned many new tips and tricks from her. I love learning all things about birth and Morgan is very knowledgeable. She really dug deep into my likes, dislikes, preferences etc and was very personable. Also she is the most organized doula! I love working with professionals who are organized, knowledgable, warm and friendly, and Morgan checked off all these boxes. She’s also pretty crunchy, and that’s exactly what I was looking for as well- somebody who aligned with my views and perspectives on health and wellness. Oh, and she came with an agenda each time we met! Like I said, very organized and there was structure! Friendly, personable, like a friend! The whole vibe was just great with her!”
“We had the pleasure of experiencing one of Morgan’s family documentary sessions with our two week old daughter and we were thrilled with the results! She spent time with us in our home to capture the little moments that we know we will absolutely treasure for years to come. Morgan made us feel very comfortable with the casual nature of the shoot, and her skills as a photographer were illustrated beautifully at the precious and cherished moments she was able to photograph that we wouldn’t even think to document. It was a lovely experience and we would happily recommend her to any of our family and friends looking to capture meaningful moments at any of life’s stages!”
“Morgan was our doula and birth photographer for our 2nd baby. I had a fairly complicated labor and delivery but her prenatal support and guidance totally prepared us for every twist and turn things took. She was there for us when things escalated really quickly and helped us think and work through all the decisions we had to make about labor intervention. She also took detailed notes about the birth timeline which was wonderful to be able to look back on to help process the full experience. Finally, we just got our photos back a few days ago and are so happy with how she captured all the details and feelings of the moments perfectly. Morgan was so professional and discreet about documenting the birth story but also super caring, kind, and a great support to us before, during, and after labor!”
“We hired Morgan to capture our daughter’s first birthday. We were nervous about how the evening would go, but Morgan put everyone at ease. Our daughter quickly warmed up to the camera, and Morgan captured some really special moments of our family dinner and playtime. We are so glad to have photos of this special occasion and that we didn’t need to worry about taking photos ourselves.”
“We were Morgan’s first clients as she finished her doula training and we didn’t know much about the function of a doula or their role in the birth process before we met Morgan. But wow, we absolutely loved working with her, and she was an invaluable resource for us during the birth of our first child, Samantha. In the pre-birth meetings, Morgan always came prepared and full of insightful, thought-provoking questions that really motivated us to figure out what we wanted out of the birth process. She helped us refine our choices based on our personalities and what we wanted — and more importantly, she helped us figure out what we wanted even when we didn’t think we knew. She was always communicative, pleasant to work with and very accessible, and in the few months that we worked with her, we felt like she really came to understand who we were and what our parenting style and partnership dynamic was. On the day we went to the hospital to be induced, Morgan came out to the hospital and stayed for hours even though there wasn’t much happening in the beginning. On Day 2 of the induction, my contractions started for real, and I 100% believe I wouldn’t have gotten through them as well as I did without Morgan’s assistance. Based on some of the things we’d gone over during our pre-birth conferences, coupled with how things were unfolding during my contractions, she figured out the best positions to get me into, always had helpful suggestions of pain relief techniques to try, and really helped me cope with the contractions from start to finish. She stayed from the time my contractions started, to after the baby was born, and she took some wonderful documentary-style photos during the delivery that really helped to capture all the special moments and tell our birth story. Plus she did this while adeptly coaching me through the birth! She also followed up with us the week after!Takeaway: We would HIGHLY recommend Morgan! Hire her!”
“As a family, we have experienced varied styles of photography, but Morgan’s approach was one we were strongly attracted to aesthetically speaking with a hint of apprehension - after all, she comes into your home and sees the family as it is, with the chaos of the day-to-day front and center! With her calm presence, soft motion and easy going nature, she quickly made everyone feel at ease, interacting here and there with our girls and made us forget rapidly that a camera was even involved - the results blew us away! Captures of the tender day-to-day moments, real, raw emotions, showcasing the beauty in the ordinary, the reality of our family’s life! Thank you Morgan for capturing a day-in-a-life of the Odigé family :)”
“If you want someone who will tell your birth story with the diligence of a journalist documenting a historical event... then you want to hire Morgan. Not only did Morgan capture all the meaningful moments (from the magic of early labor all the way through until the last family member had kissed and cradled our newest member of the family) she also made sure that each moment was documented with both the explicit shots we requested AND the more “shareable” versions, without sacrificing the narrative. The end result of which was photos to share and photos to treasure, for a lifetime. This is what makes Morgan more than just a family photographer, she’s a storyteller. She brought our birth story alive with hundreds of beautiful works of art, and I highly recommend hiring her to help your family tell their own story.”
“We hired Morgan to do a family session. I wanted photos that felt real and not posed/pinterest-y, and Morgan understood and delivered. Communication was very good and I love our photos. Would encourage clients to truly relax into the experience and trust that Morgan will capture the spirit of the moment even without you doing anything. We look forward to hiring her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Morgan and would absolutely recommend her to other expecting parents. Before, during, and after the birth of our son, Morgan offered information, resources, and compassion, all while respecting our choices. She took the time to get to know me and my family, creating a relationship in which I felt comfortable being authentic and vulnerable. Our son arrived safely via c-section at Swedish First Hill. Morgan was with us in the operating and recovering rooms and also captured some incredible photos that we’ll treasure forever. Pregnancy and delivery are such unique, crazy, beautiful, challenging experiences - we are so grateful to have had Morgan’s support throughout. ”
“Morgan is above and beyond in every single way. This was my first baby, and Morgan was our doula and photographer throughout our journey. The level of care, attention and support she poured into all that she did was felt so deeply. My labor and delivery was long, exhausting and more challenging than I could have imagined, but Morgan was there - actually there - for every moment. Fifty plus hours! That is so so wild, and more than I could have expected. I don’t have the words to express how good Morgan is - I have appreciated her guidance and support more than I could ever find the words to express it!”
“These photos are FANTASTIC! I love them! Every one of them. I love the documentary style. I love the lighting. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Morgan!”
“I knew I wanted birth photography from the time I was pregnant with my third, but she was a pandemic baby so birth photography wasn’t in the cards then. When I became pregnant with my fourth child I knew immediately I wanted to book Morgan for birth photography. Through meeting with her I landed on the package that would work best for our family, including a maternity family session beforehand and a newborn session afterward. I ended up having a tougher pregnancy than I had expected, with some health issues throughout, and I am a person who struggles with anxiety. Morgan was so supportive throughout all of this, and was flexible with our schedule while still making sure that we got our sessions done, and this helped me to enjoy the bright spots in my pregnancy even with those unexpected stressors. Now, I look back on that time with such a full heart, and I have amazing photos so that I can dwell in that joy whenever I look at the photos (or even think about them!). Our birth photography experience was so incredible - Morgan went above and beyond to make sure she was there at the perfect time, and documented every part of the experience. It was so special for my husband and me to have the experience of welcoming our last baby documented in that way. Morgan stayed with us so that she could capture my older son meeting his brother for the first time. Overall, Morgan empowered me to feel like my best self during my labor and delivery and she captured this moment in my motherhood in a way that is representative of my whole journey of motherhood, and all those countless moments that disappear even as they’re happening when you’re in the chaos of raising young kids. I was so happy that we had set up a newborn session and since we have four kids she made sure we scheduled this at a time when we could get pictures of our whole family together - something that is rare and precious with there being so many of us. That was really the perfect bookend to the whole experience of our birth photography journey. One of my most cherished life experiences and we are so so glad and grateful for Morgan.”
