Welcome to The Written Lens


where I share perspectives, resources, and insights for photographers, parents, and birth workers. This is me talking through what I’ve learned, what’s helped, and what’s worth passing along. With over 5 Years of experience, over 75 births, many publications & awards, mentorship from leaders in the field, and multiple certifications - birth is what I am most knowledgeable and passionate about. From photography to doula work to bereavement, I’ve witnessed more than I could possibly write about, but I hope to share an authentic glimpse here with you. - Hanna Perry
