About Nourished & Nurtured

At Nourished & Nurtured, we believe no family should journey through pregnancy, birth, or early parenthood alone. Guided by Christ’s love, our mission is to equip and empower birth professionals to serve with heart while surrounding families with community, practical support, and spiritual care.

Through faith-based childbirth education, postpartum support groups, playgroups, mentoring, and compassionate photography for families in crisis and navigating grief, we create spaces that uplift, encourage, and celebrate the sacred season of early parenthood.

Rooted in the legacy of Naomi Whitestone Photography, a Philadelphia-based boutique portrait studio dedicated to celebrating the beauty and intimacy of family life, Nourished & Nurtured extends this care into a broader ministry. Families gain support from trusted birth professionals, and birth professionals gain support from a network of heart-led peers to serve alongside.

For families facing hardship and grief, we offer compassionate photography that honors their stories and provides lasting encouragement. To request our photography service for your family or on behalf of another family, please fill out the following form.

Through tangible support, education, and community, Nourished & Nurtured reflects Christ’s heart - nourishing the body, nurturing the spirit, and cultivating a village where every family and birth worker can thrive.
