About me

Alaina Nunez is a Certified Professional Birth Photographer and Videographer in Southern California as well as a birth doula, perinatal nutrition expert, Certified Lactation Educator Specialist and Certified Photography Trainer. She documents birth stories with her sense of calm and unique observational perspective. Her images are said to be editorial, intimate, and “in the moment”. She focuses on documenting the environment and emotions and notices and captures the little details that would otherwise go un-noticed and be forgotten. She is a second generation homeschooling mama of 7, which gives her the skill set to be flexible within a variety of situations and think quickly on her feet while seeing the beauty in the mess mess and chaos. She started attending births as a birth photographer in 2013 after the birth of her 4th child and supporting families as a doula in 2020 after the birth of her 6th child. Alaina is a Christian and opening shares about her faith and how she brings the Lord into the birth space. She says it would be impossible to not bring God into such vulnerable moments and prays for and over her clients throughout pregnancy and birth. She gives credit to God for her business and the gift of being able to support families while also documenting their birth journeys. She believes documentation is an important aspect of not just preserving stories but legacies and testimonies.

Service introduction

Every mama’s birth story is unique, and every birth story deserves to be honored. Birth photography and Birth Videography are a gift that allows you to hold onto those memories—not just to remember what happened, but to help you HEAL, REFLECT, and EMBRACE the powerful journey of bringing your baby into the world. If you’ve been hesitant to look back on your birth because it didn’t go the way you envisioned, I encourage you to give yourself the space to do so with kindness. Your story matters. Your journey is worthy. And through the lens of birth photography, you may just discover a deeper appreciation for the incredible, life-changing experience of bringing your beautiful blessed child, into the world.

Birth Photography
Documenting birth stories is important to me because being a mother is important to me. It is truly one of the greatest callings in life. I want you to know that you are capable, you are a fierce warrior and your birth story doesn’t just happen to you, but is one that you are a participant of. When I document birth stories I want to be your eyes that you can’t rely on. When you go through your birth photographs & birth film I want you to be able to re-live the moments. Because what I see is courage, strength, determination, beauty and a lot of times brokenness, but in the end there’s Triumph, Joy and Freedom.
