Hi, I’m Jaymie — the birth doula and birth photographer behind Jay Noelle Birth.

I provide compassionate, trauma-informed birth doula support and documentary-style birth photography for families throughout Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, La Jolla, Carlsbad, and San Diego County. Birth is one of the most transformative experiences in a lifetime. I believe it is not only a physical event, but a sacred transition into motherhood—deserving of deep support, presence, and reverence. My work blends calming, evidence-based doula care with intentional artistic storytelling so families can feel held, informed, and fully supported throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. As your San Diego birth doula and birth photographer, I bring a grounded, steady presence into the birth space while documenting authentic, unscripted moments with sensitivity and respect. My goal is to help you feel safe, seen, empowered, and fully present while preserving your birth story in a timeless and meaningful way. I support all birth experiences—hospital birth, home birth, and birth center birth—honoring every path with respect, safety, and compassion. Birth is birth, and every story deserves to be witnessed with care. My approach is holistic and intuitive, weaving together birth doula care, emotional support, body awareness techniques, herbal wisdom, and postpartum nourishment. With over a decade of experience in therapeutic bodywork, holistic birth support, and lifestyle photography, I hold space for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the families I serve. Whether through hands-on support during labor, prenatal preparation, postpartum care, or capturing the first sacred moments with your baby, my work is rooted in deep presence, nature-based healing, and lifelong community care.
