Chelsea Bootsman Doula.Photo.Film

Chelsea is a very talented photographer! She has taken pictures for us of our family, birthday parties and pets!

I have been so lucky to get pictures done by Chelsea, I was able to do a photoshoot with a friend downtown in some dresses that Chelsea made. The pictures turned out amazing. She is fantastic at what she does.I have also had the privilege to work alongside Chelsea as a doula, and she is incredible. She puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows. I cannot recommend Chelsea enough.

Chelsea was my doula for my 3rd pregnancy. I'd never had a doula and wasn't sure it would make a difference but man did it ever!! Just having the constant support by your side (and hubby's side) made all the difference. I thought having nurses checking in was enough but having Chelsea there to rub my back when my husband needed a break, explain what the doctors or nurses said in laymens terms, making me do all the positions and stretches we'd gone over, knowing what I needed before I could form the words and so so much more! I would never go through another pregnancy/labour again with out Chelsea as my doula!

As a first time mother the thought of giving birth is daunting. Everyone uses labor in the scale of pain as being the worst pain anyone will feel. I decided I needed a coach to get me through it. The stars must’ve aligned when I found Chelsea. It was during covid so our contact was very limited until the big event but I still felt very supported and informed. She made me and my partner very prepared for the big day and included him in everything so that he felt supported as well. She has a preparation guide to prepare your body for the best birthing experience possible. I wanted to be able to labor at home for as long as possible and thanks to Chelsea I was 9cm dilated by the time I arrived at the hospital. I enjoyed the birthing experience thanks to Chelsea instead of having a horror story birth. I can’t thank you enough Chelsea.

Chelsea has always been so supporting and encouraging. She's talented, educated, professional and most importantly- passionate. Thank you Chelsea for all the support you've given me in various ways- doula support, logo design, photography and more. You really are incredible!

Chelsea was my doula for my first baby, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the first meet and greet, to helping me through labour, to (amazing) newborn photos - she was kind, compassionate, and a huge asset to both me and my husband as first time parents.I often joke that I don't know who I'd tell about any future pregnancies first, my husband or Chelsea!

Chelsea is exceptionally kind, warm and talented at everything she does. She an amazing doula who definitely was a major factor with helping me avoid a less optimal outcome during my birth. She is very calming and relaxing, and knows just what to do at the right time. During the chaos of birth she somehow managed to take the most beautiful photos (I didn't even see her taking pictures for the most part!). Chelsea captured moments that most people never have a chance to see again. She's so amazing we had her take our little gal's one year photos as well with a lifestyle session. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a doula, photos, or both!
