Welcome and congratulations on your upcoming birth of your baby! I am Jen Bianco, a birth professional serving families as a birth doula & birth film maker/photographer. I am passionate about supporting you in your birth journey as you prepare for the birth of your child as well as documenting your story through capturing the precious moments of your transformational birth journey.
