Dallas Arthur

Birth storyteller. Certified doula. Born in Jax. Married to my best friend. Mom of three water-birthed babies. Chatty introvert. Passionate about loving families through their birth journey.

Let's be friends, yes?

“‘I cannot say enough great things about Dallas! We hired her for doula support and as a birth photographer, but left with a friend. She was a great support system throughout the entire pregnancy, labor and after. She was attentive, caring and such a comforting presence during labor, while also capturing beautiful moments from our baby’s birth.”

-Jen, St. Vincent’s client

Birth Films

Your birth will be one of the defining moments of your life. You will dig deep and find strength you never knew you had to bring your baby safely into your arms. Your birth film will capture every meaningful detail, every precious cry, and all of the laughter and relief that your baby brings. Having a birth film to play over and over again with your child shows them that their first moments in the world were full of strength, joy, and overwhelming love.

“The waves of contractions crashed over me again and again as I leaned on the edge of the birthing pool. I told myself I could do it; I could bring this precious blessing earth side and I wouldn’t fear the pain. I turned to face my midwife and asked, ‘Are you going to catch her?!’”
