Welcome!

I'm Elizabeth Jones of The Birthstone Doula CD(DONA)

I am a birth photographer who believes in the power and beauty of birth. I love capturing these moments of transformation that parents have when a new life is brought into the world.

Calm. Safe. Nurturing.

As a professional birth photographer certified through Birth Becomes You, I have a deep passion for capturing the intensity, beauty, and power of birth. My goal as your photographer is to provide you with tangible reminders of your strength and love during this intimate, transformational time in your life. I would be honored to be present with you and ensure you have physical reminders of your birth story and all you accomplished.

About

My life began with a home birth. I’m one of three kids, all born at home in Orange County, CA. My family moved to Northern CA when I was 9 and I grew up in a rural town. I married my high school sweetheart and lived in Texas while he was in the military, but we knew we wanted to return home to raise our family. We eventually landed in Roseville and had our son in 2019. My birth was very different from all of my mother’s home births. I was induced in a hospital for chronic high blood pressure and had several interventions that I didn’t want. Although I had a tough birth, I wish I had photos to look back on and see my strength from that day. I have one single photo from my birth–my son is laying on my chest during the golden hour. It’s my most precious memory of that day. The desire to have your story documented can run deep. Those photos can be helpful to process the day as birth can be a blur when you enter an alternate state to cope with labor. With a birth photographer you have the opportunity to experience your story from a different perspective and visualize the power you had as you brought your baby earthside.

Birth is intrinsically beautiful and full of power. I believe in showing my clients how strong they are by telling their story through intimate images of their birth.

Hear from my families

Elizabeth was amazing! Prior to birth, she always responded to my texts quickly and offered so much emotional support. When it came time for labor, Elizabeth was the perfect fit for us. She showed my husband ways of offering counter pressure, and she gave helpful suggestions for coping through contractions. She brought supplies that came in very handy (like a hand held fan when I was very hot) and she was a calming presence throughout our birth. She took priceless photos and videos of our birth that I cherish so much! I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a doula!
