Last Legs

Jackie Dives Vancouver Doula

I wanted to write a little update about my doula services. The last time I wrote about it I had completed the first step, attending the DONA approved Birth Doula Training at Douglas College. Lots has happened since then! I'm a DONA certified birth doula now, offering birth doula services, photography, and placenta encapsulation.

I absolutely LOVE this work. I have never felt so much like I am doing the right thing. I don't really know where my interest in birth came from, but the more I learn about it, and experience supporting women during labour, the more I love it, and the more facinated I become.

I have been to over 15 births, including home and hospital, and am very excited to go to many more.

Portrait Photography by Jackie Dives

Got together with my peeps, Jen and Calla, to shoot a few shots. These are my faves: 

Maya Outtakes

Photographs of Marie

I went out with my pal, Marie, to take some head shots. We took some fun stuff too. 

Photographs of Coney Island New York

It was quite a few years ago now that I went to New York, but I don't think I ever posted these photos. They are my favourite photographs that I took on that trip.

1. Baby butternut squash. So cute.

2. I don't eat any sugars or grains except for on Saturday (Cheat Day) so I really appreciate an orange on a special plate for breakfast.

3. Pictures of coffee art are kind of overdone. But it makes me so happy.

4. I eat a lot of eggs. I take a lot of pictures of eggshells.

Phone Photographs IV

I promise I don't only take photos with my phone. It's just a phase.

TL - My Grandpa owned the House of Fabrics from 1975 until he died in 2004. Across the street is a place called Ben's Tailors, where my grandfather went for years to get his pants hemmed. Ben's Tailors smells of moth balls and it costs $5 to hem a pair or pants.

TR - My friends Marco and Lauren's bedroom door.

BR - Cafeteria trays at school.

BL - I love old signs. Please never replace your signs. Just leave them. Thank you.
