Taryn Starkey
Tulsa Birth Photographer & Doula
Tenacious, Perceptive, Inclusive
I believe connections are made while sharing a mutual side eye.
I believe parents deserve ALL of the information to make the best decisions for themselves.
I believe your birth story is an heirloom that should be protected and preserved.
My goal is for each of my clients to feel heard and confident.
Hayden Roehl
Tulsa Birth Photographer & Doula
Sensible, Observant, Affirming
My focus has always been centered around supporting people throughout major transitions in life.
It’s an honor to hold space for and capture the vulnerability, transformations, and beauty that each birth story brings.
My desire is for every birthing person to be informed and confident in their birth.

"She is wonderful, works great with kids (I have 4 now) and they didn't want to leave her alone. :) During labor she was always ready to offer a suggestion or answer a question, but she was never overbearing or intrusive."
-Alicia Jemmett
"Taryn was amazing at our birth! She was there to support us & answer any questions we had but at the same time invisible while taking all of the photos/videos of everything going on. If it wasn’t for her, Ashley would have missed out on the first few hours of our baby’s life & she also would’ve been alone in recovery while I was in the NICU transition area."
-Kyle Kuenning
