Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Why we ranked them
Why we chose Esther Edith Photography & Doula Services
Esther Edith brings an unusual combination of credentials to newborn photography: she is a certified doula in addition to being a working photographer, which means she understands the physical and emotional state of a postpartum family from firsthand training, not just from behind a camera. Her services span maternity, birth, fresh 48, newborn, and motherhood photography, and she frequently photographs newborn herbal bath sessions, a less common offering that documents a baby's first gentle bath rather than a standard posed portrait. Her documentary approach favors raw, intimate images over heavily directed ones, aiming to preserve what a moment actually looked and felt like rather than staging a recreation of it. Esther's photography has been recognized beyond the local market, with work featured by outlets including National Geographic and the Today Show, giving her a level of technical credibility that extends past typical portrait photography. She serves both Spokane, Washington and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and her dual role as doula and photographer means she can sometimes support a family through labor and then document the newborn period without bringing in a second person the family doesn't already trust. For parents who want a photographer who also understands birth and postpartum recovery from a caregiving perspective, her combined background is difficult to find elsewhere in the region.
