Diana Paul

My three children were born at home in Mill Valley and Oakland, California.  It is impossible to describe how utterly transforming those births were for me.  I wanted other women to have this empowering experience and so began my journey into midwifery.  I filmed homebirths with a small, unobtrusive Sony 900 camera and was able to capture rare and beautiful images.

In Austin, TX, I met a very pregnant Naoli Vinaver, offered her a camera to film Tamaya's birth and that was the beginning of "Birth Day," our first professionally produced film.  Today, "Birth Day" has been seen by tens of thousand of viewers and is now part of the reproduction exhibit in the Museum of Science, Boston.

Emily Payne

Emily Payne received her BA from the University of San Diego.  She has been the official photographer for Sage Femme since its inception in 2005.   Her full service, spacious studio is located in San Francisco.   The studio participates in community events and supports organizations and local businesses of all kinds.  They are careful to patronize photo labs that use minimal chemicals and paper with the least amount of silver.  

"You will feel comfortable and safe coming to the studio with the newest member of your family!  The studio has room to change, nurse and relax.  We schedule portrait sessions allowing plenty of time for naps, crying, and feeding!  In general, it is a comfortable and positive experience every time you come to the studio!"
