About Me

I'm Maribel. A DONA International certified birth doula and birth photographer based in Southern California.
My work lives at the intersection of stewardship and artistry, offering both grounded support and honest, meaningful images that reflect the real story of your birth. Whether I’m holding space at your side or quietly documenting the moment, my intention is the same: that you feel safe, seen, and empowered throughout the journey.

Clients often tell me I bring a calm, reassuring energy and photographs that help them remember not just what it looked like, but what it felt like to bring their baby into the world. This calling lights me up like no other profession ever has, and I’m honored to walk alongside you, offering heart, skill, and presence every step of the way.
