SERVING Grand Rapids, Michigan

your birth story matters

However it unfolds, it is yours.

Trust us when we say that your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience will transform you. You deserve to be compassionately supported and heard through it all. 

Fine art imagery of you and your family will help you see your undeniable beauty and strength through one of the most intimate, emotion-filled seasons in life. 

If you’re anything like us, they will be among your greatest treasures.

 

welcome, I’m Annica

Sincere • expressive • compassionate • tenacious

I pretty much always follow my heart. It’s what makes me who I am: an artist, an empath, a birthkeeper, an advocate, and a bold mama.

Sprout and Blossom was my first baby, born in 2016. I work with clients as a birth doula, fine art photographer, and filmmaker. I also offer “doula-tog” mentorship and create the products in the shop. I started the business solo, and now am so grateful to have a team working with me. You’ll get to know them too.

If you want to learn more than you ever wanted to know about me…

 

meet Brianna

Warm • Genuine • encouraging • hilarious

Brianna Trammell joined Sprout and Blossom in early 2021. I was thrilled she accepted my invitation to join the team because she has deep passion, incredible skill, and unending kindness. She is so full of love, patience, and support (and has an infectious smile). I am so glad to work alongside her and learn from her. Bri works with clients as a birth doula, postpartum doula, and birth photographer.

 

lactation support with Sarah

Breast/chest/body feeding can sometimes come with challenges we didn’t plan on.

Whether you are an experienced or new parent, you do not have to figure out these challenges alone.

Sarah Hill offers Grand Rapids families individualized, inclusive, and judgement-free prenatal lactation education and in-home visits once your baby arrives to support you throughout the feeding journey.

the birth equity fund

Sprout and Blossom formed the Birth Equity Fund to supplement our service rates so that we are able to offer a sliding scale. The fund is designated for BIPOC birthing people who express a need and choose to hire our BIPOC doula, Brianna Trammell. We are thankful for all the individuals, non-profits, and businesses that have generously contributed to the fund!
