I’m a Copperas Cove doula and birth photographer, and I support families through pregnancy, labor, and birth in a way that’s faith-based, grounded, and very hands-on when you need it — and quietly present when you don’t.
Most of the families I work with are planning home births, but I also attend hospital and birth center births around Copperas Cove and the surrounding Central Texas area. My goal is always the same: to help you feel supported in your body, in your decisions, and in your birth space — and to document your story if you want that part remembered too.
Copperas Cove Doula & Birth Photographer Serving Central Texas Families
Doula Care
As a doula in Copperas Cove, I’m there for the steady, in-between moments. The reminding-you-to-breathe moments. The “you’re doing this” moments. Whether you’re planning a home birth or heading into the hospital, I come alongside you and your partner so you don’t feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
I support families in Copperas Cove, Killeen, Harker Heights, and nearby areas who want a more personal, faith-centered approach to birth.
Birth Photography
I also work as a Copperas Cove birth photographer, documenting birth in a quiet, unobtrusive way so you can stay fully in your experience.
No posing. No interruptions. Just real moments — labor, support, first cries, and that magical post-birth sigh of "I did iy."
I photograph home births, hospital births, and birth center births, medicated, unmedicated, c-section, stillbirth, depending on what your story looks like.
Serving Central Texas
Copperas Cove is home base for me but I also travel to nearby Central Texas communities like Killeen, Harker Heights, Lampasas, and Belton. I've even gone as far as Lubbock to serve a free birth family! My heart for birth is as big as Texas <3 Reach out for availability in your area!
Testimonials
Holly
Shandy’s talents, abilities, enthusiasm, and compassion for the birthing experience and the mother is extraordinary. Never once did I feel alone or unheard throughout my pregnancy or labor.
Testimonials
Nikki
It was Shandy's words of encouragement and confidence in me that ultimately led me to having the birth of my dreams. She photographed my birth and those photos are now some of my greatest treasures.
Testimonials
Marla
Shandy was absolutely amazing. She was there throughout the entire birth, advising, affirming, and physically and emotionally supporting both the mom and me when I was too tired.
On top of all this, she took beautiful pictures of mother and baby during the process.
Testimonials
Ali
We had a great experience with Shandy as our photographer. She wasn’t able to make our birth because it happened so fast, but she came the next day and took a fresh 48 session. She is warm and kind and I felt so comfortable with her!
Testimonials

Whether you're looking for the supportive hand of a doula or someone to beautifully document your birth story, I can't recommend Shandy enough.
She's not just talented; she's a genuinely warm and caring person you'll be so glad to have by your side.
Testimonials
Kyla
The experience she provided was beyond what words could describe. Her energy lit up the room in a time where I was most vulnerable. The gentleness, the calmness, the nurturing, I couldn’t imagine having anyone else as a photographer or doula in my next chapter, I look at my pictures almost daily
