Award-winning artistry
& birth support
Birth is something that happens once for you and once for each child you bring into the world — you can only meet that person for the first time one time. Weddings get rehearsal and fuss; birth is raw and unrepeatable. The moment your partner first lays eyes on the child you created together, the exact way light falls across a new face, the first inhale and the small sounds between breaths — those seconds hold a weight words often can’t carry.
Birth photography is the quiet witness that brings you back. It catches the light, the grip of a hand, the stunned exhale, the way you were held, and the look on your partner’s face. These images aren’t about vanity; they’re evidence of survival, tenderness, and fierce love. They let you return to the room and feel it again — to process, to remember, to soften around what happened. Choosing to document your birth is choosing to remember intentionally: a witness who knows when to step close and when to disappear, delivering a collection that holds the day exactly as it was.
what past clients say
"There are not enough words that I could use to explain how intentional and caring Amie is!"
“There are not enough words that I could use to explain how intentional and caring Amie is! I was supported not only during my labor and delivery, but before in our prenatal appointments and now postpartum journey. Amie made sure I was educationally informed with each decision I could choose for my labor and delivery, and offered zero judgment on my decisions. She was my advocate in the hospital and kept me on my desired path when I felt like I couldn’t stand up for myself in a western medicine setting. Not only was she a phenomenal doula, but an equally spectacular photographer—because of her, I now have the most sacred photos of our labor and delivery experience as we welcomed our baby girl. Forever thankful for Amie!”

WELCOME
HI, I AM AMIE BOGART
I would love for you to get to know me!
my birth story
I am so excited to meet you, and I love that you have found your way to my little corner of the internet!
This is an image from my daughters birth of the moment that I scooped her up and saw her for the first time. If you like birth stories, I would love for you to read mine!
award–winning Images
For the last two years of my business, I have submitted images to the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers for their yearly Image of the Year competition. Both years I have been awarded and recognized.
Thank you to the families who share their images and make it happen. This is as much yours as it is mine.

Why working with me is different.
The Unique Blend:
Compassionate Doula Care & Artistic Birth Photography
Choosing to work with me means experiencing a unique blend of compassionate, faith-centered care and the artistry of professional birth photography. My approach is deeply personalized, ensuring that every mother feels empowered, supported, and understood throughout her journey. I not only provide physical and emotional support during childbirth but also capture the raw, beautiful moments of your birth story, preserving memories that you and your family will cherish forever.
My dual commitment to being both your guiding light and the guardian of your precious memories sets me apart in the world of doula-togs.
bereavement
Bereavement photography offers families the memories of their babies. Through volunteer work with Sweet Grace Ministries along with independent sessions, I offer bereavement photography for families of loss.
NICU sessions are also complimentary for families facing NICU time. Unfortunately, the NICU hits very close to home and offering these sessions are my way to give back to those in need.
birth films
Birth films that bring you back to the moment you met your baby, time after time.
These short 2-5 minute films are taken during your labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum moments. Meant to feel like a home video, your baby's birthday will forever be remembered.
education
Birth is one of the hardest-easiest-most confusing-simplest things that you will ever prepare yourself for. While yes, birth is instinctual and requires surrender, it is also something that comes with so many unknowns that it can feel overwhelming.
That's where getting solid education comes into play!
questions?
Let's connect!
Pregnancy can be one of the most confusing times that you're going to experience. There are a lot of "What if's?" a lot of uncertainty, and honestly, a lot of unknown...
Even before we ever sign a contract, I am happy to chat with you and just answer any questions you may have around doulas, birth photography, pregnancy, birth, you name it.
Sometimes you'll see doulas "gatekeep" information when asked outside of a service agreement, but that helps no one.
Of course, there are certain things reserved for after an agreement is signed, but education that I can provide to you (that you could find the WRONG answer on Google), I am more than happy to share and educate you.
